If you Google 5 Axis CAD/CAM software you should find a choice of suitable programs.

Not one of my favourites but there are many here who like BobCAD-CAM and that will generate 5 axis toolpaths suitable for use with Mach3.

It's helpful if you describe what the problems are that you are having.

Are you using a Mach3 post processor in Fusion360?

No, I am trying to use Fusion 360 listed post processor,
When I tried Mach 3 post processor it flagged up "tool path orientation not supported",

Then it sounds like you need a new post processor.

There is only one version now

The dif between free and pay is you only get generative design if you stump up else it’s the same
