Hello
This might be a long question but i do need the help.
I was currently assigned to change our cad software from Solidworks to fusion 360 because something changing to windows 10 and computers need to be changed, something too expensive for Solidworks something.
I am the design engineer who is now the expert in fusion 360.
management wants the Machine shop to also use fusion instead of MasterCam (I am not a machinist and dont know the exact details) but the machinist told me that he used a post processor in MasterCam and he needs that to work in fusion 360 for it to work. we have an old Fadal mill and a old mori lathe that he currently used rs232 lo load programs to.
and my question is has anyone here used fusion 360 to program their old mil and lathe loading the program with RS232. how did you get your post processor to work?
if anyone can point me to who/where can I get help on this?
thank you for the help.
