Latest version ignores M6 default in post processor

Smokeys — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 18:11:17 GMT

I've been using the "Tormach PathPilot with probing and ETS" version Date: 2020-01-21 08:24:58 for the last few years w/o issue. It has a line for M6 that should default to true:

useM6: true, // disable to avoid M6 output

But, since this latest version, it doesn't select M6, and every time you open the post processor you have to make sure to select it. Otherwise, no tool changes actually happen.

I do not use this Post Process but I just downloaded it from the Fusion 360 library and it does have "M6" enabled by default. In the video I show this. Also I show you how to modify the post process to make this value to default to "true" if you want to use your existing Post Process. If you need to edit your post and do not have the Visual Studio Editor loaded, you can attach your Post Process and I will edit if for you.

What my issue is that M6 turns "off" every time you open the post processor
not matter what it is set to. It just started happening.

I do not see this happening. When I start the Post Processing, the check box is checked and the created code shows M6 is enabled. Maybe you need to Repair Fusion 360 using the Fusion 360 Service Utility.

Well, you learn something every day. I didn't know there was a repair option and it fixed my issue with M6 not "sticking". Works great now.
