How to export G-code / NC code from Fusion

Solution:

1. Creating a toolpath.
2. Select the operations or the setups that need NC code.
3. Open the Post Processor dialogue box through one of the following methods:

• From the ribbon in the Action group click the G1/G2 icon.​​​ 
• From the browser right click the selected operations and select Post Process. 

4. A Post Process dialogue appears, which allows you to specify how the NC code file is written. 

• A postprocessor is JavaScript file that reads toolpaths from Fusion and creates code in a language that the machine can understand. 
• Not all machines run the same code syntax so it is important to post code with a post processor intended for your machine. 
• It may be necessary to change the extension depending on what the machine can read: How to change the file extension of a Post Processor for Fusion.

5. Click the Post button in the Post Process dialogue box will create an NC code file according to the settings in the Post Process dialogue.

• To have the NC file open immediately to be edited or viewed, check the “Open NC file in editor” box on the Post Process dialogue.
• By default, the Microsoft Visual Studio or Brackets NC Editor will open the NC code.
• To change the default NC editor (see Changing the default external g-code editor in Fusion).

Note: for post processor setting refer to NC Program reference.
