Anyone been able to figure out how to run a single program with multiple offsets exported in the post processor from Fusion360?
Example: I want to be able to machine (3) identical parts at once. I have exported the NC program with (3) offsets; but when I run the program in Cutcontrol…. it only runs the G54 one even though the NC program has G54, G55, and G56 in it. Notice the 3 instances:
I got mine to work utilizing different setups. I haven’t tried it the way you’re doing it. But I did 3 individual “setups” so to speak and gave each setup it’s own WCS offset number. Starting with G54 at WCS Offset 1, G55 at WCS Offset 2, and G56 at WCS Offset 3.
And then you just ran all (3) at the same time by loading them all in cutcontrol? Thats kind of what I am trying to avoid, but if that is the only way to do it then I guess it is what it is…
It “exported” as 1 program. 1 program load ran all offsets.
You should also be able to manually copy/paste (use notepad or something) as a work-around if you can’t get it, and you could change the offsets from there.
So G54, code, G55, same code, G56, same code.
Duplicate your setup and its tool paths and then in the post process tab make the second setup a 2 instead of a 1. Then it will export a single program with both G54 and G55. If you want more just repeat this and call it 3. Then it will post as G56
Also keep your “number of instances” to 1 unless you have two pallets with 3 parts each. One pallet in G54, and 1 pallet in G55.
