How to adapt my old postp for Fanuc on fusion360

Hi everybody, sorry for my english i'm writing from Italy.

I'm setting the Postprocessor, on Fusion360, for our turning machines with fanuc 18i and fanuc O-T series.

I tried all the turning postp available on fusion360 but no one is clear for our work.

 

We used years ago, on featurecam, a postprocessor that is perfect for our programs. Simple and without uneccessary G-code in it. But i have it only on format .txt (you can see on the attached file (GOODWAY_FANUC0iTC.TXT)

You can see also an example, attached here on the file ZAN0540 F2.NC, of the result of this postp.

 

My question is: Is it possible to creat a .cps file to import on fusion360 with this old postprocessor? How can i do it?? And if it's not, how can i set an existing .cps file to work like this old postprocessor??

For example i don't need G53 security sets at the start of the program or the M8 code for lubricant is not at the start the linear G1 movement. 

Other problem for us is the position of the code F. With my old postprocessor is only on the line of G96 and M3 code. On the new fanuc turning postp the F code is on every line with G1 linear movement and it's too uncomfortable for our work.

 

Thanks to everyone can help me

HI @s.sagliaschi,

 

I believe it's not possible to convert FeatureCAM post to fusion post. 

 

the generic Fanuc turning post will have to be modified to suit your needs
