Miscommunication from post processor to lathe controller? (ProtoTrak SLX)

I was attempting to dial in my speed and feed values for cutting brass, so I programmed a simple part to cut out. The simulation showed no errors.

When checking to verify the part on the SLX, it shows a very different part, almost as if the fillets were inverted somehow.

I noticed in the post process tab that the selection for the Prototrak SLX machines was recently updated, So I don't know if that was just a bug or if I have made an error somewhere along the way.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could you share your Fusion file here?
File > Export > Save to local folder, return to thread and attach the .f3d file in your reply.

 

Are you using the stock generic ProtoTrak post processor?

As far as the post processor goes, I am using the one shown below, which is the one that I have always used in the past.

 Posting without it enabled, I get this in the backplotter:

 You say that you've been using this post for some time. According to the changelog, the last update to the post was on July 22'nd of this year. Have you not run into any issues in that time span?

Hi Seth,

We have not had any projects recently that required our lathe, so it would not surprise me if the last time I used it was before the July date. Making the suggested changes has fixed the part on the verify part page. I will go ahead and run it to see if works. I am sure its possible I accidentally deselected that option. I appreciate all the help!
