      <description>&lt;P&gt;So, my setup goes through the simulation properly, but when it runs on the router, the first two toolpaths cut properly, but then the remaining toolpaths run perpendicular to the workpiece. &amp;nbsp;My router is setup for 4th axis with the workpiece running in the y direction. &amp;nbsp;I have attached the post processor, my file, and the gcode output. &amp;nbsp;Any ideas on how to get this running properly?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Machine is a Laguna IQ CNC with HHC (I believe it runs a version of LinuxCNC)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The post appears to be set up so the A axis is rotating around X.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Find this section:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;  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); // TCP mode
  }&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It's directly after 'function onOpen'&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Change this line:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;    var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:false, axis:[1, 0, 0], range:[-360,360], preference:1});&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;to this:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;    var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:false, axis:[0, 1, 0], range:[-360,360], preference:1});&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;You can do this in any text editor. That specific line is 157 in Notepad++&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks! &amp;nbsp;After a few tweaks, to get everything oriented along the Y axis, the correction to the post worked great. &amp;nbsp;There's a steep learning curve to this CAM/CNC stuff, but I'm getting there slowly but surely. &amp;nbsp;Thanks again!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know this is a post from last year, but could you share the Post Processor you are currently using on your IQ HHC w/4th axis?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just added a 4th axis to my Laguna IQ, and the PP from Laguna (for Vectric Aspire, V-Carve) is works correctly, as it just substitutes the "X" values with "A" when wrapping geometry.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, I tried the PP that you shared at the start of this thread and I keep getting "X" values in the NC. Everything else appears correct but shouldn't the X-axis stay at the origin? And should it even be showing in the NC unless a G0 X0.0 Y0.0 Z20.0 line is needed to go to the origin at the start of the job?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The X or Y indicates what axis the 4th is along for wrapping if it has X the Y is changed to A and its along the X axis, if its Y the X is changed to A.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for the quick input, but just changing axis values wasn't working. Then I ran into this thread. &amp;gt; &lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-post-processor-forum/updating-cps-code-for-laguna-hhc-4th-axis-compatability/td-p/7662477" target="_blank"&gt;https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-post-processor-forum/updating-cps-code-for-laguna-hhc-4th-axis-compatability/td-p/7662477&lt;/A&gt;. Once I made all of the changes shown in red below my generated g-code looked like it should.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;if (&lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;true&lt;/FONT&gt;) { // note: setup your machine here
    var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:&lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;true&lt;/FONT&gt;, axis:[0, &lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;1&lt;/FONT&gt;, 0], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
    &lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;//&lt;/FONT&gt; var cAxis = createAxis({coordinate:2, table:false, axis:[0, 0, 1], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
    machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(&lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;aAxis&lt;/FONT&gt;);

    setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
    optimizeMachineAngles2(&lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;1&lt;/FONT&gt;); // TCP mode&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here you can see that all of the values are now Y, Z, and A, with the exception of the initial positioning of the X axis at the part origin.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;N10 M03&lt;BR /&gt;(2D POCKET1)&lt;BR /&gt;N20 G0 X0.000 Y138.472 Z58.824&lt;BR /&gt;N30 G0 A-11.905&lt;BR /&gt;N40 G0 Z48.824&lt;BR /&gt;N50 G1 Z46.324 F2336.8&lt;BR /&gt;N60 G1 Y182.965 Z42.431&lt;BR /&gt;N70 G1 Y183.191 Z42.409 A-11.77&lt;BR /&gt;N80 G1 Y183.285 Z42.387 A-11.444&lt;BR /&gt;N90 G1 Z42.269 A-9.5&lt;BR /&gt;N100 G1 Z42.151 A-7.556&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Frustrating to say the least but once it was tweaked and generating G-code that looked like it should, I realized there were values in my DSP that were also complicating my results. I had been jumping from Post Process to testing on the cnc without looking at the g-code carefully enough. It was only after I spent a good amount of time scratching my head that I went back to trouble-shoot each step to see where the problems lie. Without these forums I'd have given up on Fusion since I don't know Java and don't have the time to learn for this one instance where I really needed it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
