Thank you! I believe that Andrew added the code to the post I was using (Centroid_MillRev-40783-swissi-005.cps). Did you copy the code to a new version?'

Thanks for the explanation, very helpful. Yes. I agree. The manual says you "may" use a Q value, however I could not make it work without one. A very nice dude on the Fusion CAM forum from New Zealand (Andrew Laas) who has helped me many times with Fusion, was nice enough to modify the Pos...

As you pointed out, the manual says: Note: If rigid tapping is enabled, a Q may be used to set the thread lead or pitch. However, because Q is not modal in the case o...

Thanks again for getting back to me so quickly. A bit disappointing news. I am still learning both Fusion and G-code, so some of this is a bit over my head. I too played with the "use feed per revolution" and it made no difference. Before attempting rigid tapping, I posed the question on t...

Thanks! I did not see an option for "use canned cycles" or similar, so I am curious as to what settings you are using. Thanks for your reply.
