If this is your first time posting a program for FireControl in Fusion 360, you will need to open an internet browser and download the ‘Langmuir Systems Fusion 360 for FireControl Post Processor’ file from the Downloads page on our website. Once the file downloads to your computer, take note of the location of this file in your computer’s Downloads folder or after moving this file to another permanent location.
About 2/3 the way down the tutorial page.
Yes ive watched the videos multiple times thinking i have missed something. This is what im coming up with
Probably.
Read the second sentence in A5. That has useful information. Then read A6 and use the information you got from the second sentence in A5.
Do NOT ‘Open’ the file. You download it to your computer (following instructions in A5) and then install it into Fusion, following instructions in A6.
You don’t open the file.
It is a library.
You import the library, via Fusion Library manager, in your local directory.
Yes thank u all very much. Very helpful. Once i actually thought about what it said.
