Hi im super new to all of this but, ive got a simple pocket drawn in Fusion 360 and when I run the post process the Gcode it spits out gives me "k word given for arc in XY plane."  Im guessing MAch 4 can only do arcs in one plane at a time.  So does anyone know if there is a way to modify Fusion 360 so that the code given is only arcing in one plane at a time?


thanks in advance,

Ask on the fusion forum for problems with fusion 360 , it’s not a mach4 one

The X/Y plane IS one plane, isn't it?

Yes it is.  I guess my guestion should have been, Has anyone set up fusion 360 so that the output is compatible with Mach 4?  and in response to the first reply, I am asking there too.  This isn't a problem with anything its simply a configuration problem specific to MACH 4 and Fusion.

I just figured it out, I think.... My ramp was set at "helix" and im thinking Mach 4 doesn't support that kind of plunging.

That did it,  I had it in there but forgot to select it!! I knew it was going to be a bonehead mistake

FYI Mach3 and Mach4 both support helical ramping.
I use them all the time.
