New and Old CrossFire Tables, Post Processor Question

Hi everyone! We have been using our legacy CrossFire 2x2 plasma table with Mach3 for a while and are getting ready to start using our CrossFire XR. While looking through the instructions and tutorials I noticed that the Post Processor for the XR is different than for the legacy table. My question is: how do I use the two post processors with the same Fusion360 program?

Thanks for any insight!

You can have multiple post processors set up in your Fusion 360 library. When you get to that final page for making the gcode, you just need to remember to switch the post processor by pressing the menu box marked with a green box. That will bring up the list of post processors you have available, marked in red.

Thank you so much for this explanation and clarification. It really helps!

You can set up multiple machine configurations, one for CrossFire 2x2 Mach3, one for CrossFire XR, to make a random example, and then have a unique post processor for each one. Then when you’re creating a Manufacture plan, you simply select which machine you’re using to run it. Easy Peasy.
