I have read that, but the G-code it produces for me still contains G0 moves.

It is not a public Beta. First you get Fusion 360 running which means setting
up an account. They also need to see that you use Fusion regularly.
Then you apply for membership in the “Insider’s Program”.

I don't know if Thailand falls under the ITAR rules but they may be what
you are hitting. If you can't install it you probably can't run it
either. Autodesk loves the cloud and calling home.

It is easy. But you need Linux on Intel. ARM-based Linux will not work
1) install a virtual machine system.

No thanks for the link
One more thing about using trueSpace for STL, only work in metric dimensions.
It doesn't matter if you select millimeters, centimeters, or meters. To STL
they're all millimeters. The different units in the software just work for your
own convenience for scale so you don't have to zom in. If
The problem with transforming an STL file to a “real” CAD file is that the STL
is only an approximation of the true shape. The software would have to have
some intelligence to see that the designer intended to (say) have a curved
profile revolved around an axis to make a complex shape on a

Hi Nicklas
Maybe you look for old style grid work planning
Maybe you look for templates for each d/m/d/t code to work in text editor
I remember older APT books showing the grid worksheets
You may find them in the APTOS archives of the wayback machine
https://sourceforge.net/projects/aptos/
Starting to get a little bit harder to remember everything manually,
never worked in or submitted work to a workshop. Anyone with experience
have some good example how a CNC machining setup card should look like?
