Fusion 360 Cutting a Tool Path

Software
1

I’ve had my Crossfire Pro for a yr it runs beautiful, had to resubscribe to Fusion 360 program, I accidently hit the 30 day trial and now my tool path comes up with errors… When I hit simulation it doesn’t do inside holes and only does one part and my line is way outside of the dimension or cut path of the part that I am trying to make… I don’t know if the 30 day trial lets you do a tool path and G code.

Thank you and hope you can help
Jim

Update: Got a notification from Fusion 360 regarding my post above to update my video card which I did, did not help. My second option is to change video settings in Fusion 360. I found a video section of Fusion 360 but it won’t let me change the settings. Can anybody direct me in the right direction…

Thank you Jim

Yes, the 30 day trial will generate G-code. (I was using it prior to purchasing.) I suspect something may have changed in your setup. It also sounds like your tool settings may have changed.

Thank you for responding

I did do a new Tool and did mess with Kurf Settings as well as other settings. If I made a triangle it would cut it at a 1/2 of an inch bigger than what I designed with rounded corners instead of square corners…

Check your kerf width in the tool and make sure you set up for the correct decimal place. Such as a kerf of .06 and you might have put 0.60.

@jim4 You don’t need to pay for fusion. Free version works great but you can only have 10 active projects. This means you have to switch them to archive after your done working on them. Might be something to consider.

There is a notification that pops up when you are within 20 days of expiration. To renew you click on the notification and follow the prompts.

I have renewed the trial twice. I found that it would not allow me to renew the trial until the trial period expired. If you try to renew before it expires, I believe it will not allow you to pick the trial version.

Once it expires, be sure to use the same username/email and password and you will be right back where you left off. If you use different credentials, you will not have access to your old drawings on their server. I saved all of my drawings to DXF files just in case but they were all there for me.

Thanks for the clarification. I renewed mine after mine lapsed but it wasn’t intentional. I was a bit nervous when it happened… worried I may had lost everything but it was all there after the renewal.

Me too! I did not want to try and learn another program at that point and as this is a complete hobby for me, would prove to be financial stupidity to pay for a subscription to use Fusion 360. Someone did a great YouTube video on how to renew your subscription so that calmed my anxiety. I still saved the DXF’s just in case. Plan for the worse, hope for the best! :upside_down_face:

I just signed up for the paid version. It was only like $28 or 30 a month. I had the business version that was free if your earnings were under a certain amount.
