Can’t download fusion 360 post processor

Did the right-click save link work? It’s downloaded 3 times based on your picture - the (2) means it came down with the default name, downloaded the next time you tried and was named with the (1) suffix and then you did it again as the (2) suffix. I can attach it to a PM if that works for you.

I read that you are pretty good at this stuff. My question is when I download and save the post processors for 360 and sheet cam, what’s next? sorry but kind of lost…are these automatticaly loading into the software? Thanks for your help

You need to put them in the directory each software uses to find the post processors and then change the software setting to use the new post.

For Sheetcam, on my Win10 machine, it’s C:\Program Files (x86)\SheetCam TNG\Posts

Then you go into Sheetcam, click Options on the menubar, then the Machine entry in the dropdown and the Post processor tab in the pop-up. Halfway down the page is a dropdown selection box for the post you want to use. Just click the arrow and find the FireControl post. Pick it and click OK.

Fusion has a similar directory where posts are stored and then in the post step you make sure it’s selected in the pop-up with all of the job options. It will remember the last post you used.
