Hi all,
I have run into an interesting issue where I want to override the property "use machine configuration". I can't seem to find any documentation on how to disable this when I want to post process a setup that has a machine. The problem is that I am trying to control which post is used because while we are using machine simulation for one of our brother CNCs, it needs to use the Fusion 360 Generic 5axis post to actually simulate the machine. If you post with this it fails.
So my add-in is referencing the specific post it needs to succeed BUT it seems to keep defaulting to the post that is attached to the machine defined in the CAM setup. Therefore it fails. We found that if we remove the post associated with the machine then it successfully posts the .nc file.
So basically I want to keep the bad post associated for simulating the machine correctly but use a different post to actually post process the .nc file.
Another thought I had, could I somehow set or delete an attribute of machine to make it use the supplied post filepath instead? Or can anyone think of another way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
