    Default Single G55 post with Fusion

    Hey everyone. I've done this many times, but all of a sudden I can't post to a single G55 WCS. I wasn't sure if this was something wrong with the PP post processor, or something with Fusion so I thought I would start here first.

    I'm running the latest post from Autodesk found here:

    Autodesk CAM | Post Library

    And this is the problem I get. No matter what I use...0,1,2,3, etc., it posts a G54. Anyone else getting these results? I know I can change it (and I have) after it posts, but I'd like to figure out why it's not working:

    *EDIT*

    I believe it's the Tormach post. If I post this to my Milltronics, it posts the proper G55.

    Try looking lower on your post for G55. I just did a test, selecting work coordinate 2 (G55). In the setup line (N10 below) it outputs G54, Then a few lines down (N24) you can see G55. I would expect it to output G55 in the setup line too, but it should run okay.

    Thanks for the reply Scott.

    Actually, once my spindle started towards my G54 vise, I just assumed I hadn't set my WCS properly so I changed it at the machine and ran it again. When I went upstairs afterwards to change it in CAM is when I noticed it was throwing a G54 no matter what I put into Fusion. I'll look again when I get home tonight and dig into it deeper...it's just a bit unsettling when it heads off in the wrong direction at the start of the program.
