Hi guys 

 

im trying out fusion 360 and im stuck on a post processor, 

 

we have a seimens 840D control on a twin turret twin spindle live tooling lathe 

 

I have made up a test part to try and machine with is basically a hexagon using a 2d contour but the post processor is emmiting Y axis commands instead of C axis commands and the lathe does not have Y axis is there anyway to change it so that it has only X,Z and C Axis  

 

I have attached the post processor 

 

thanks for your help

It would be best to ask this in the manufacturing forum.
