Hello.
I got the "Siemens Turning" post processor for a lathe with 808D controller.
The code outputs with G18 instead of G17 for drilling cycles. I have made sure to have "Live Tool" unchecked on the "Post Processor" tab of the tool manager for any drills that I want to use.
The post processor seems to have a generic code for all operations with G18 among it and nothing selectable for drilling. For example, the G81 does not have a section where G17 can be changed to from G18.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks.
