3+1 indexing in Fusion 360 using the Tool Orientation option works out of the box with the current Avid wrap-to-A post-processors. I use that pretty much exclusively when doing rotary axis work in Fusion.

Can we see what you’re doing a little more in detail? Maybe post these for a single simple small operation, like this:
