This youtube video gives a good overview of the steps involved in the process, he is however working with another machine than we have. But the principles are the same!
READ the Manual

CAN use rotary in fusion, but need to set up the roland post prosessor for this as 3-axis is default-- be aware!! there are bugs with this post-prosesssor when using rotary in fusion!! :
This works:
-------------
if (true) { // note: setup your machine here
var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:false, axis:[1, 0, 0], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
//var cAxis = createAxis({coordinate:2, table:false, axis:[0, 0, 1], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis); //, cAxis
setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
optimizeMachineAngles2(0); // map tip mode
}
---------------
Other options is also possible
