@TinWhisperer These are great videos, thanks for taking the time to make them.
When i get to the cut path i chose the cut path but it did not cut the 4 holes, so i went back and let fusion chose the cut path still did not cut the 4 holes. I included the f3d file. I have no idea why this happened. I watched the video a few times but can not figure it out.
I also have a question and included a pic about this browser when i get to this point and have made some mistakes, edits and what ever else i did, what does all this now mean. And do i need to delete the setups that have the mistakes since i’m not going to use that one? I hope this makes sense?
no hurry and in your spare time, thanks Exit sign- TW v2.f3d (145.2 KB)
This is likely going to be that Fusion believes there’s not enough room to fit the lead in,lead in radius, lead out radius, lead out and the kerf width within that cut.
Reduce the value on some or all of these and it will add them in as soon as there is enough room.
When I get back to my office I’ll check out your f3d file on my computer and make sure that’s what’s going on.
As far as those failed NC files and setups in the browser goes: you can right click and delete them or you could right click and edit them , either would work.
Just make sure you click the correct setup before going into producing g code.
thanks, I will go try to fix them like you said and see if that is my problem, and No rush at your convenience
thanks for the clarification on the setups.
YES SIR! I fixed the problem it was what you said it was! THANKS again!
you can look at this correct one to see all me mistakes as i went through! Exit sign- TW v2.f3d (146.3 KB)
Does this browser look correct now or should the line with the “!” be deleted too? I assume it does because that had the problem, correct?
I did try to film cutting an exit sign with fire control but the computer in the shop does not want to run video capture software at the same time so I’m trying to figure that out.
Also thinking about doing one where I take a simple black and white image off the internet and convert it into a SVG and then into fusion 360.
I did want to get into some of the sheet metal aspects of fusion too but I think I will need to switch up to a longer form video first.
You tripped me up on the ‘print’ step near the end. I was looking for the ‘three dots’…
It was only after I went down several rabbit holes that I realized that your export PDF brought you to Microsoft Edge and THAT is where the three dots exist. I don’t use Edge, but that’s ok, but you need to tell us about the context switch…
On my freshly installed Windows 10 I have FireFox and Fusion 360…
@TinWhisperer
I did install Adobe Reader (after unchecking the damn EXTRA CRAP they want to force on you). So I have a sufficiently working platform to test this fusion thing. I did not have a rousing success on the print operation, however. The scale was not exactly 1:1, but there are many reasons for this and, at this point, it’s not a major concern of mine. I might install SheetCam to verify the output files, but that’s a few videos down the road I think.
The really nice part about Adobe reader is it has the ability to make posters so then if you have parts that are bigger than a sheet of paper it can accommodate that .
A lot of those programs default to “fit to page” and you have to find “actual size” or “1:1”
Well thank you for bearing with them. lol
I was working on the 5th video some more this morning
I did select that, but I think my printer decided to scale because the content fell outside the margins. Don’t know for sure, but, printing has always been a learning ‘experience’…
