Posted g-code refers to the Setup WCS rather than tool orientation in Fusion 360, HSMWorks, or Inventor HSM

Issue:

G-code that is posted without DWO (Dynamic Work Offset) still refers to the Setup WCS rather than the tool orientation origin for the operation in Fusion 360, HSMWorks, or Inventor HSM.

Causes:

This is expected behavior, the g-code posted will refer to the Setup origin. The tool orientation defines the cutting plane on a part.

Solution:

The post processor can be edited to use the tool orientation origin rather than the setup origin when posting:

Add the line "mapWorkOrigin = true;" under the following code in the initial post properties:

minimumChordLength = spatial(0.01, MM);
minimumCircularRadius = spatial(0.01, MM);
maximumCircularRadius = spatial(1000, MM);
minimumCircularSweep = toRad(0.01);
maximumCircularSweep = toRad(355);
allowHelicalMoves = true;
allowedCircularPlanes = undefined; // allow any circular motion
allowSpiralMoves = true;
highFeedrate = (unit == IN) ? 650 : 5000; // up to 650 should be supported
mapWorkOrigin = true
