I am having trouble setting WCS in fusion 360. I get an error asking me to set WCS1..6 even if I have setup a corord system in fusion. Is there a particular way to set it. Thanks

Hi,

in the CAM environment, right-click on the Setup, then choose the 3rd tab 'Post Process'
Here you select WCS Offset, typically nmbr 1 = G54.
I don't know why Fusion360 doesn't put a 1 here as default, as 0 doesn't make sense on the CNC..

Have a nice day!

ahh thanks so much . i thought that was a unit of offset. like 1mm. thanks for clearing that up for me.
i am having other problem with your post process. at the start the z axis is moving down. if i use the fusion grbl process it works.. could this just be the problem with the wcs not being setup properly..

thanks Matt

Hi Matt,
I added another Wiki page 'Anatomy of output of the Post Processor'.
Please check this page, it should answer your questions. If not, feel free to come back for more help!
