Post process adding too many files

[yoshimitsuspeed]

I am running linuxcnc. Before the last update post processing would save one ngc file to disk. Now when I post process it saves a CNC, NGC and a basic text document. This is massively annoying. How do I make it stop?

[jeff.walters]

can you tell me what post you are selecting?

[yoshimitsuspeed]

Not sure exactly what you mean.
Post processor is for linuxcnc. I don't think it came with fusion but I think I got it from someone on here. DOn't exactly remember.

I hit post process for the toolpath which takes me to the PP window. Post configuration is EMC.cps. NG extension says .ngc which is correct but then when I post it posts two other files as well.
If it's beyond that I think you will need to give me more detail on what you are looking for.

[jeff.walters]

Can you either attach the EMC.cps file or email it to camsupport@autodesk,com? it’s kind of hard to figure out the problem with it if i don’t have it 🙂

[yoshimitsuspeed]

Remind me where I would find the EMC.cps file?

[jeff.walters]

the easy way is to start like your going to post a program, select the "Setup" button, and then select "Open Folder"

[yoshimitsuspeed]

Lol the forum wouldn't allow me to upload the cps file extension so I just changed it to .jpg so you will have to change it back.

I'm just getting the one NGC file when I post. You’re not hitting save in the text editor by any chance? Once you post the file is saved to disk.

[yoshimitsuspeed]

Nope, in fusion I just select post process, then in post process just hit post and then choose the folder to save it to.
I actually just assumed that they were mirrors of the NGC file under different names but I just looked at them and they are actually different. Maybe you can make heads or tails of them.

[jeff.walters]

It took a bit but I found it. If you go up to the top right and select your log in name, then select preferences. Under General, CAM uncheck “Beta Mode Enabled”.

[yoshimitsuspeed]

Okay that did work. Thanks for the help.
Is this a bug in the Beta? If so is there somewhere to file a bug report or someone who should be notified?

[jeff.walters]

No I don’t believe it’s a bug. When in beta mode these look like debug files so there is a something to look at when something fails.

 As far as notifying someone you already have. My Name is Jeff Walters and I am the Senior Support Engineer, CAM for the Autodesk CAM products.

[yoshimitsuspeed]

Okay thanks.
It did not do this in beta mode before the last update so I figured something was wrong.
Am I loosing anything by not enabling beta mode right now?

[jeff.walters]

I doubled checked with the developers and as I suspected this is more for debugging new features and has no advantage for users unless they are having issues.
