Issue:

When post processing from Fusion, HSMWorks, or Inventor CAM, an NC error log is created and a message is shown. The error log and error message show the warning:

"Error: Work offset is out of range."

Causes:

The WCS offset defined in the CAM Setup/Probe toolpath is outside the allowed range defined in the post.

Solution:

To avoid the error in Fusion check the following solutions:

Check Setup WCS Offset/Probe toolpath Override WCS to be a number (like 0,1,2) not a string (like "G54" for example). Refer to How to define Work Coordinate Systems in Fusion 360 Manufacture
Use a work offset number allowed by the post processor and machine/controller.
