Fusion 360 now has Langmuir post processor in library

[Gort]

I selected the Langmuir post processor that Fusion 360 now has in its library. It shows it as version 43757, dated 24 Apr 22. When I generate g-code and load it into FireControl Version 20.6, it says the g-code appears to be for mach 3 and will not load. Any ideas? This is the Gcode it created:

I don’t know why it’s adding that N# prefix to all the lines, but that doesn’t belong there

[Gort]

I thought G code words consisted of a letter and a number.

[ds690]

None of those N# commands should be there. For instance the second to last line should simply be M30, which means “end program”

If you were to delete the N and the numbers following it from each line, until you reach the next letter, that program should run.

Edit: apparently the N designates line number and doesn’t cause problems with some systems, but I’d bet that Firecontrol doesn’t know what to do with them.

[Gort]

I posted with the FireControl_v1.6 (version 42116) post processor and the program ran just fine. The 43757 post generates unacceptable code. This code ran.
