Lathe post processing error using Fusion for Tormach 15L Slant Pro

[petehartman18]

I’m new to lathe work. I’ve modeled a simple design in Fusion and have a Tormach 15L Slant pro with turret (rear tool post). In manufacturing the simulation runs and looks correct with respect to tool paths and resultant part but when I try to post process I get this error:

Error: Turning toolpath is not supported by the post configuration.

Failed while processing onOpen().

Error:

Error: Failed to invoke 'onOpen' in the post configuration.

Error: Failed to execute configuration.

I’ve tried to Post process each of the four operations in isolation and the only one that will post is the ¾ end mill drill. I’ve tried to apply the insight/recommendations from various searches but I still cannot figure out what I’ve done incorrectly and after hours of chasing suggestions I'm out of gas and feeling somewhat of a dope. Any help is appreciated.

Hi

It looks like you are using the Tormach milling post processor, you need to be using the lathe one

Thanks.......Perhaps I'm really lost. When I did the setup I picked the turning or mill turn option. Is there someplace else this is defined/identified that I've missed?

Hi

Yes selecting turning or mill turn in the setup is correct, but you still need to select the correct post processor when you go to post the code out.

Thanks so much. I've been running things on my mill for months using the milling post processor and I just assumed fusion would grab the turning one...............The much bigger lesson was not to waste a couple days for something that took literally 3 minutes to get resolved by asking for help. I am tremendously grateful!
