Perfect, thank you for explaining this, it's exactly what I was looking to do! I have previously been taking all three parts and creating the CAM for all three together as a single model.

I love how Fusion's default setting is dead-wrong. Not surprised at all, honestly.

What setting is that?

Thanks! I knew about setting the wcs to 1, but I didn't know about the right click and set it as default. I'll be doing that from now on. :)

Great! Glad I could show you something new. This was a big tech support question that I used to get. I keep forgetting to reply. It was great to meet up with you at the Fusion academy. Thanks for driving us around and showing us Portland. I had a lot of fun on my visit to Portland.

This is definitely good knowledge. Now to see if probing will work with this as well

Thanks! I was wanting to do exactly this but didn't know how. This would have been a lot more convenient than what I ended up doing, which was making a macro and editing my post processor. The macro needs to be edited manually, which is a small hassle and only offers a few *very minor* advantages.

Thanks for the video! Is it also possible to have Fusion create a subprogram in the NC output for each operation? Now each operation has the same absolute values for G54, G55 and G56

Good video. Now how do you load the three WCS's with a probe?
@sunilsaxena52835 жыл бұрын
Normally having 3 vices is for having 3 sets different setups to complete all operation on a part, would appreciate if you could show accordingly with 3 different setup/ 3 different stock but with tool change optimisation

Hi, does fusion360 somehow know where the 2nd and 3rd duplicate work pieces are? like I seemed you didn't have to specify where the other two are. I've been trying this, and I must be missing something. Subscribed!
@MechanicalAdvantageАй бұрын
It doesn’t know where the other parts are located. When the code is posted, it is posted multiple times. Once for G54, once for G55, once for G56 etc. When the user sets up the machine, they have to teach each workpiece as G54, G55, G56 and so on. Then Fusion will execute the program at each of those locations.

Is there a reason for having the 0 and 1 options both use G54? Just curious why Fusion does this. Also thanks for clearing this up for me. I assumed 0 was 54 and 1 was 55 (from other not so fun programs)
@MechanicalAdvantage Жыл бұрын
Well, there really isn’t a 0. If you enter zero, the logic in the JavaScript for the post processor will set the WCS to 1. So that is why you get a 54 no matter if you enter 0 or 1.
@AllenIsbell3 жыл бұрын
What if you do have your vises perfectly aligned and know the exact distance between each part? Is there a way to just find the G54 X, Y, Z zeros on the first part and have Fusion 360 duplicate the tool parts for additional parts at a defined spacing? I have a 3 part fixture for a roughing op that I'd like to set up to only have to locate the first part. The part tolerances are big at this point.
@MechanicalAdvantage3 жыл бұрын
Hi Allen. The linear pattern option will do that. It will duplicate at an exact distance. You just can’t have one of the components rotated like I showed in the video.

@@MechanicalAdvantage Thanks for your reply. I actually found another video you did showing exactly how to do what I wanted using CAM Component Pattern Duplication. I got stumped for a bit, however, because my parts were "bodies," so I had to convert them to "components" before it would work. Thanks for your videos!

On the post process tab of the setup. 0 or 1 gives you a G54. 2 G55, 3 G56 etc.

Jeez, the video is ok, but I think the interface changed a little since 2019, the post process button does not give me brackets, also please can you explain how do you get the three models in place, do you import them as components from your library?
@MechanicalAdvantage3 жыл бұрын
Hi Fernando. I placed the components in the vises using joints. Joints are the method you use to assemble components in Fusion.
