I’m using Fusion 360 in a workflow for engraving signs. This starts out as a .dxf file, which I import into a fusion 360 sketch, and then use the trace feature to generate tool paths.
As an aside, if anyone has an idea for a simpler workflow (free, of course) and one that perhaps doesn’t involve Windows, Please suggest it here. I’ve tried DXF2GCODE and although it looks like it does all that I need, but I couldn’t get it to work reliably, as it kept skipping features. The post processes for EMC—as it’s called in Fusion 360—somehow calls for path blending and I cannot figure out where. Is path blending turned on by default, unless you specify exact mode? Here’s the preamble as generated by the post: % (ONOFFSWITCHESENGRAVE) (T1 D=0.25 CR=0. TAPER=30DEG - ZMIN=0. - CHAMFER MILL) N10 G90 G94 G17 G91.1 N15 G20 N20 G53 G0 Z0. (TRACE2) N25 T1 M6 N30 S3820 M3 N35 G54 N40 M8 N45 G0 X11.9375 Y0.9635 N50 G43 Z0.54 H1 N55 G0 Z0. I was able to fix this by adding the following line: N36 G64 P0.001 But I’d like to know how/why it as blending paths in the first place. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
