Centroid Post-processor for FUSION 360

[LorenzoRR]

I am facing an issue post-processing from Fusion 360 to my Centroid Acorn.
I have explained the issue to Autodesk, and response has been they do not accept post-processors modification request, but I do not know if this is exactly the case...
This is what happens:

- I have the tools marked in F360 as "Manual change"

- If I post with Centroid version 44083, Tool Change codes are NOT generated in the NC program:

- If I post with an older version, 43967, then Tool Change codes are generated, and the machine behaves as expected:

Can somebody help if this is something to fix in Fusion 360 side or in Centroid side ?

Many thanks for your help !

44083 works perfectly....

This is not the issue.

Thank you for your response Uwe.

In your experience what can be the issue, and also, what is the post-processor your are using from F360 to Centroid Acorn, and what version ?

Below is how I have the setups for the tool :

Based on the parens in the output, that does not look like Centroid code. Centroid expects a semicolon to denote a comment. Looks like you are selecting a Fanuc post.

Select Centroid Turn 44083 from the fusion online Lib and save local, that should work

I will have another look, because I´m sure I´m selecting Centroid Mill post processor for sure... this is really strange.

I am repeatedly making tests with same Part and the two Centroid versions I have: #43967 and #44083 and both are creating parenthesis and the old one creates a line as "T1 M6" that Centroid interpretate as a manual tool change (following this explanation in CNC12 Manual):

Ha I thought you wanted to turn, for milling of course Centroid (mill)

But I prefer to use the one from swissi, you can find here:

Hi Uwe,

Many thanks for your help; already downloaded post from Swissi, applied in my testing part, moved to the machine, and it workd all fine.

Generates the manual tool change very similarly to the old original Centroid´s.
