Hello,

Thanks for posting! Could you create a screencast showing the issue? Or possibly a few screenshots? Are the options not there for you, or does it just not let you select the post?

Cheers

Hi 

My post processor is a custom one that I modified from a Generic one (milltronics) and has been working fine for months if not a year now

I've inserted a screen shot of the problem hope this helps

It only seem to be the Milltronics Generic and my custom posts that are not working

I take it the problem is that the OK button is not enabled? Just want to make sure I understand what you're showing.

I think the problem is with the "G18" property (under Properties).

Its default setting -- which displays as just "G18" in the dropdown -- is not valid. So, you need to choose one of the available values (ZX or XZ).

We'll have to look into whether it's expected that this must be explicitly set, or if there should be a better default.

Not sure what that means. Can you show me a screenshot with the Properties being displayed?

Here you go

OK, in your case it's G17 -- vs. G18 in the Milltronics post.

If you click in that dropdown, you'll see that "G17" isn't actually a valid value -- it wants one of the items that shows in the dropdown.

You need to either choose one of those values, or adjust the post to accept the default value.

sent to you

Thank you. If you add the following section after the "properties" section, you should get values that you can select from in the dropdown.

Note that the G17 property definition allows a new "Unsupported" value, along with ZX and XZ. If you change the default value of that property in "properties", then your OK button should be enabled right away. This would look like this:

G17: "Unsupported" // set to "ZX" (right handed) or "XZ" (left handed) in accordance with your control setting - byte 79 - G18 plane select: XZ=0, ZX=1
