Postprocessor Debug

[infomeca26]

Hello,

In visual studio, is it possible to do line by line to debug a postpro ?

I add these lines:

// DEBUG ACTIVATE ALL
var valid = true ;
var writeDebug = valid;
setWriteInvocations (valid);
setWriteStack (valid);
 
But I haven't go in output the results of the various tests and I can't find where it's wrong.
 
Thank you
Olivier

Hi @infomeca26 ,

Install Autodesk Post Processor Editor (We recommend Visual Studio Code with the Autodesk Fusion 360 Post Processor Utility extension) which Matches the output NC file line to the post-processor command that created it.

Hi @infomeca26 ,

For the testing, you need to select *.CNC file from CNC SELECTOR and run (Ctrl+Alt+G) it in VScode. Then Go to debuggedfile.nc and double click on NC code. It will give the location of the Post Script Codes.

I suggest you to refer Post Processor Training Guide (Page No: 21 to 36). You will know how to use it.

How to use Autodesk Fusion 360 Post Processor Utility. You can download/watch it from here.

Step : Select CNC file and press  Ctrl+Alt+G. It will open debug file on side-window and allows you to find(Double click on NC codes) the location of Post script codes from the NC codes.

How to enable debug mode. You can download/watch it from here.

Step:  Click F1, It will open the command window and choose HSM to debug Mode then select true to turn on debug mode. Now select the CNC file which you want to test and press Ctr+Atr+G., It will open a debug window.

I hope this helps

if you try it with Inventor Cam 2022, it doesn't work, you get error :
