Re: FUSION 360

Yep I do I use the Hypertherm post processing to make a .nc file works great. Do a google search for post processing with fusion 360 and a vid will come up. I will see if I can send a link I cannot get fusion360 to work at all. I tried all the post processors, even hypertherm's. I use f360 with my ...

GoFab doesn't understand Sheetcam Gcode??

I was wondering if you can help me with this problem. I have these dxf files where the line segments in the shapes have unconnected points (unconnected nodes). For example, a line has a point on each end. Each line in a rectangle would have 2 nodes for a total of 8 points (8 nodes). When I use inksc...

Re: dxf's dont open in sheetcam

Never mind, I figured it out. The devil is in the details right? So when you open "import drawing" into sheetcam, you choose a folder to select a file. In the bottom right of Sheetcam, there's a dropdown box with file types. You must select the type of file you are importing. I assumed sheetcam auto...

dxf's dont open in sheetcam

When I load dxf files into sheetcam by selecting "import drawing" they don't show up. I've tried various dxf versions, such as R27, R12, etc, none show up. I do have the free version, I wonder if I need to purchase the license for it to work properly. Any ideas? It still will load g-code fine. That ...

Re: Anyone Have the Gcode to Make Fusion360 Work with GFCNC?

I use F360 for brackets or parts because the drawing features are prime. Because of the post process issues, I convert my drawing into a dxf (inside fusion360) then use SheetCam to create the gcode. It has been working quite well. I use inkscape for all artwork, but I’m experimenting w/ some fire pi...

Re: 3/4"

Wow, I never thought it would be a clamping issue. Looks like I found another project for my cnc mill. Thanks. I’ll post a picture when I get the clamp milked out.
