Yes, the modification would be in the Centroid post processor. But, that is not Centroid's post processor, that is Fusion's Centroid post processor. Centroid did not write that processor, and Centroid doesn't provide support for that processor. That is an Autodesk creation supported by them (barely), and their users (mostly).

Understood. Thanks for the help

Adding the Dwell pause turned out to be pretty easy. You simply edit the Post with one line of code:
Original: writeBlock(gMotionModal.format(1), x, y, z, f);
Added: writeBlock("G4 P1");

This adds the G4 P1 after each line of movement code. I will have to change (P) value if need be, but for now one second is working well.

I have basic 2D shapes working, but my motor gears do not match my timing belts so im getting some slippage. Once I swap those out and start making 3D cuts with my Z axis I will post some pics.

So far Fusion 360 is fitting the bill.

Can someone please look at my report? I have my XandY switches set to limit/home. However when I move the gantry and activate the switch, it wont let me move the other axis without over riding the switch. And machine will not home when my homing switches are set. And for some reason my Y home switch is displaying as X when its tripped. I have verified the switches are working through the Alt I interface,

Thanks

how are you oriented? when you stand in front of the machine and press the X position jog key which way does the wire move? to the left or the right?
