Hi,
I am trying to use the Manual NC command option in Fusion360, but nothing shows up in the NC code when I post.
This is my setup, with a manual command.
(The manual command is a prompt to remind me to fixture into the holes before cutting the outer contour.)
However, nothing shows up in the output NC code.
I assume something needs to be added to the Buildbotics.cps file, but what? and where?
How do I get Manual NC commands from Fusion into Buildbotics?

Is there a "Comment" option in the pull-down menu. If so, what happens if you put the following text into the Message box?
MSG, fixture into holes
MSG, fixture into holes

I figured this out with some help from the Autodesk forums.

I needed to add some code to the builtbotics.cps file, in order to make the manual NC commands appear in the post.
The challenge was not just to get a message to display - (MSG, Message) works for that purpose - but I needed an M0 in there as well in order to make the machine pause and wait. Thus I couldn't use the Comment function.
Works great now.

Code: Select all
// Process Manual NC Command Display Message
function onManualNC(command, value) {
switch (command) {
case COMMAND_DISPLAY_MESSAGE: // prepend ‘MSG,’ to operator messages
writeBlock("M0 " + "(MSG, " + value + ")");
break;
default:
expandManualNC(command, value); // normal processing of Manual NC command
}
}
Works great now.
