Just copy the file there, and then it should show up in the drop-down Post Configuration list next time you open the dialog. At the top it will show the Configuration Folder where post-processors are stored. cps and then in the Fusion 360 CAM workspace, select Post Process. To install, rename the file extension to. Fair warning, I've only used it on a few simple projects so far and I've only been using millimeters so I haven't tried it using inches. I offer this with no guaranty of course, so use at your own risk but so far it has worked well for me. I didn't base it on one of the AutoDesk post files because mostly they're overcomplicated for what the shark can do (we don't need code for coolant, tool changes, radius compensation etc.). The only stumbling block was that there was no post-processor for the CNC Shark, so I wrote one. AutoDesk licenses it free (as in actually FREE) for hobbyists and business making under $100K/year so it's very attractive for a hobbyist like me. I especially like the built-in 3D CAM capability so I can go straight from my 3D model to generating toolpaths in the same application. The learning curve is a lot steeper than something like VCarve but it can do much more and there are lots of tutorials out there (check out NYC CNC on YouTube). I recently started using AutoDesk Fusion 360 for 3D modeling and so far I'm really liking it.
