Yes, you can do this easily in Fusion, have a look at the images below and download the attached Zip file for the program shown in the images.
First image is showing 4 vises
The second image...
Are you looking for something like in the images below, first image is with bottom edge selected as the contour, second image is with an offset of +3mm applied and the third image is how it would be...
Yes, you can do that by going to "Utilities" then select "Stitching" and the select "Unstitch Solids to Surfaces" or "Unstitch Surface from Solid", once you have done that you can create a new Layer...
That would most likely be either :-
G28 G91 Z0
or could be
G53 Z0
Depending on your machine will send the CNC to your Z0 Home position, which version of the Mach3 Post Processor are you using...
Yes, can see an image but it is impossible to diagnose anything from that, needs to be the BobCAD file then the settings used can be checked.
It may well be just a tolerance issue but usually trying...

Hmmm, maybe, just have to wait and see, only time will tell :D :D :D

Well, finally got "approved" after 3 days of waiting, not much of a start but benefit of the doubt, teething issues :D
Having said that so far as I can tell the idea of segregating geographical...
Update on accessing the new Forum, gave up on trying to Login and decided OK new start I will start again from scratch and create a new Account, this should work yes ??

Welcome Alex, soooo, we are to have a new better Forum that we can actually use, that sounds great, however if it is on the same old super slow and outdated platform as the one that ceased to exist...
I doubt very much it is anything to do with BobCAD, I assume if you are on a modern computer running Win 10 then it is unlikely to have a Serial port on it so are you using a USB to Serial adapter?...
Glad it helped, you are welcome to PM me from this board :)
For what it`s worth I think you should use a toolpath to rough out the bulk of the material first and then it is a lot easier for the Parallel toolpath, I used the 3D Adaptive to rough out and and...
If you only want to machine down to the shelf level then that is easy enough, do what warrenb suggests and set the botton height to the top surface of the shelf.
If you want to go full depth then...

There is already a Post Processor in the Library for Mach4 but you are welcome to try the 5axismaker.cps one
This one already solved on the Fusion Community, the 5axismaker Post Processor turned out to be the best with a couple of mods :D :D
As I don`t know which Fanuc Post Processor you are using this will only be a guide, here is the section in the Fanuc PP I have here where the decimals are set and I have changed two lines from "true"...
Give someone a chance to answer :D
I would suggest that you try the "Trace" strategy found under the 2D tab, this toolpath will follow in all directions so it will rise up the slope, run down the...

OK, lets try for the 3D Drawing Instructor August 19 for now and lets see if it will work
Hi Al
I have had problems for years with BobCAD not sending links etc, must be blocked for some reason at your servers, if you remember a few days ago on the Online Chat I was in contact with you...

Hi Terry
Glad you are getting some help from my ramblings and scribblings :D
