X not selected for WCS Error

[Colt4587]

Hello all!

I'm trying to turn a very simple part I've designed in Fusion 360. But I keep running into Errors on the Centroid screen. This is the error I keep receiving:

X not selected for WCS 2.PNG (10.58 KiB) Viewed 1200 times

Here is a screenshot of my setup screen:

I'm using the Centroid Post processor from Autodesk's website, but I've also tried "Franco's" from youtube.

I've tried changing the settings within the post processor "use extended WCS codes" but that gives me an invalid code error. I've tried using different types of WCS options within Fusion 360, and selecting the Z and X axis in different ways, but it doesn't change the error. Initially it was using "G53" but has since started using G54, I'm not for sure what drove this change, but I did briefly get it to work by manually editing the code, but then the machine would only do the initial moves and then stop.

I've also tried doing some manual edits. I'm sure this is something stupid that I'm doing, just can't seem to find this error anywhere. Let me know if you'd like more information. I

Ok, I've been able to overcome the error by going into F1 and setting the X and Z manually within Centroid. However now when I get to line 16 the machine says "moving" but it doesn't actually move anything? Any ideas?

Do you have a spindle encoder installed?

You appear to be trying to use feed-per-revolution feedrates (G99). That only works with a spindle encoder.

If you do not have a spindle encoder, then you need to program feed-per-minute feedrates (G98), and of course specify an appropriate feedrate number (probably something faster than 1.0 mm/min).

Ah thank you!

I actually do have a spindle encoder, but I haven't got it hooked up yet, was just trying to actually get a part made . I will double check all that, really appreciate you responding.
