Similar to Fusion 360, it needs some development effort to create post process script for different CAD platform. These scripts are responsible for converting 3D trajectory (representation) into concrete Gcode dialects. There are Gcode dialect differences between firmwares (Vendors).
We can refer to Gcode Reference to build post for specific software.
The documentation is still under active development.
