Struggling already - Sheetcam Post Error

Post by wiltshire_chris »

So I gave in with fusion and have gone down the sheetcam route. Any ideas on this?

I don't use sheetcam, but post your file and I will show you how to post it with Fusion 360.

the reason for swapping was because fusion doesn't have a post for linuxcnc plasma, I've used it with success with GRBL

Looking at the error you posted, could you have selected a laser post processor??

You can edit the post and look at line 139. Might give you a clue what variable has the invalid value. Maybe a tool parameter is missing.

Turned out I set the post processor to laser not plasma
It's been a massive learning curve, but I can say that today I cut my first parts. To say I'm relieved is a understatement, many thanks to the people that helped along the way
