Hi,
New user, read through many topics, can't find this one exactly.
Software: Mach3, Fusion 360
Machine: Chinese 3040
I have been using Mach and Fusion together nicely for some time now. Produce CAM in Fusion, run .tap form Mach. Suddenly, my workpiece in the display window of Mach will not show as being within the table parameters. I load g-code (pic 1), my part to be cut is in lower left. I move the spindle to the center of my table, regen path and for a second my spindle location is correct (pic 2). Once Mach is done reloading, the spindle shifts off center again (pic 3). And workpiece never moves to center of table.
I have rechecked my setup in Fusion repeatedly. I have executed a restore settings in Mach. Nothing working. Help?

.tap file, maybe there's something I'm missing.
Due to file size, cut into 2 files, A and B. Also saved as .txt accidentally but shouldn't matter for this exercise.

File B

Is it an issue with zooming in and out. Click the toolpath window and try to zoom in or out. Try double click and see what happens. Also try to regen tool path.

Your code is using fixture offset G55, is this normal, G54 is default unless you have told Fusion to use G55
The code is massive, I think you need to pick a different pocketing strategy too.

Hi Graham,
Yes, I changed it to G55. I haven't taken the time to setup G54. I only have 2.2 inches of Z travel and it was causing soft limit warnings etc. I reviewed some of my previous setups in fusion and it looks like, for this operation, I changed the WCS unfavorably. Once I indicated zero at bottom left of stock, all is good in the world.
