BUG: F360 never selects the specified post processor when exporting gcode

For the last couple releases, at least, when I go to export (post process) the generated gcode, I always have to select the post to use, even though the machine configuration has the correct post selected. This happens in both lathe and additive setups.

 

Here you can see the machine selected in the Setup, some of the machine's configuration, and what the default export settings look like:

It's very frustrating to have to always select the post processor, and if I ever forget, I could get dangerous gcode.

 

Also note that document machines include a lathe, even though I never created a setup that uses a lathe. Not sure what that's all about.

Known bug, been waiting for this to be rectified for a while, the connection between the Machine Configuration and the Post Processor got broken somehow, the PP reverts to the last one used which as you rightly point out is a real pain, it has been reported, be careful !!!

 

Stay safe !!!

 

Regards

Is there a proper bug repo, or just this forum?
