So I’m growing past easel and moving on to hsmexpress for some more intricate projects and because I’m used to SolidWORKS, and everything was sailing smoothly till I hit the post processing.
I’ve got my job set up, I pulled up the grbl post configuration, and posted it as a .nc file. I go to easel to import g-code and its giving me errors because it includes g28 and g3 commands. I tried tinyG post configuration to no avail and even found autodesk’s own xcarve post configuration here [Post Library for Autodesk Fusion 360 | Autodesk Fusion 360] from April 2017. What am I missing here?
Easel does not support arc commands (G2/G3), even as a G-code sender.
If you want to use arc commands, you need to use a different G-code sender, such as PicSender, UGCS, etc.

That explains it! Well Easel is a cute, user friendly all-in-one package but it has its trade-offs.
Thanks Larry!
