Failed cam post

I have a Romi c420 lathe with a Siemens 802 control.  I have posted to this machine in the past with only a few manual coding changes needed.  I'll been using your Siemens Turning post.  Now anytime I try to post I get a file name with the subscript ".failed" e.g. 1001.mpf.failed.  My last lathe project has been a few months ago but worked fine.  I recently changed to a paid license for Fusion.  Not because I'm using it for more than a hobby but I wanted to be part of your success and continued improvements. 

A example of the post problem is my recent project "Lathe-test-siemems-post / test file.

I have turned off my PC and reloaded Fusion but no change.  Do I need to uninstall and reload?  What next?

Can you Post the fail file, quite often the reason for the failure is in there?

Please export and share the Fusion file, that will be quickest for us.

File > Export > Save to local folder. Return to thread and attach the .f3d file.

 

If you can't/won't share the file, you will need to locate the .failed.log file, which is usually in the same directory that the posted code is residing.

When I follow your export instructions Fusion gives me this error message: 

"The selected folder: "C:/Users/Default.DESKTOP-DNV1OLU/Desktop" is not accessible."

I can save a file directly to my desktop, so I'm not sure what you did to receive that alarm...

 

In Fusion, go to the File button at top left

Click on "Export"

At the bottom, select a destination where you wish the save the .f3d file

Click "Save"

Try creating a folder, perhaps in the "Documents" folder and exporting to there?

 

-EDIT-

Or, just go into the Data Panel, right click on the file and click "Share Public Link":

This will give you a link you can copy and paste here.

Tried that and when I save I get a weird file not found message.  I'm uninstalling / reinstalling Fusion.  I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Not now.  I uninstalled (as I've had to do a few times in the past to resolve problems).  Now Fusion install kicks a error about low disk space.  Win10 file explorer says I have 563 gig free on drive C:.  Now what?

As a test, right click on the screen and see if you can make a zip file. if not your copy of win10 has gone bad, I have this problem right now.

 

If not something could be stuck in the upload queue you will need to do an offline-restart of the computer and fusion, then shut down and a restart of the computer then fusion, then when fusion is going turn the net back on, this should make the queue clear itself and upload what was stuck.

This has nothing to do with your problem just the computer.

 

Below is an error report this is one I forced the error is what is in red but the whole thing is needed, plus the model and the post you use so an apples to apples can be done, otherwise it is a guess.

Okay it seems there are two problems:
1. My win10 operating system has errors2. I think the Siemens post has changed.
I went to my shop computer (win7) and tried to post, No Luck.
I will attach the log file and the exported project in hopes someone can help.

I think it is the tool you are using that is the problem I changed it for one of the tools in the samples library and it worked.

Not sure why yet but that worked.  I believe I've used that tool in the past.

 

Thanks Much!

It is what you have set in the Turret, below shows what it is you have 1 set 

 

error: Turret number must be 0 (main turret), 101 (QCTP X-), 102 (QCTP X+, 103 (gang tooling X-), or 104 (gang tooling X+).

Change it to 0 and it is all go.
