When Im post processing my engraving file the tool information is not posting with the rest of the nc file. 

Ive been entering the information later when I need manually. Any ideas on why the information isnt transferring ?

Most likely that your PP has been overwritten during an update, can you upload your PP so it can be looked at ?

 

Do not trust the software, if you have a good working Post Processor then keep it in your Local/Personal or Cloud Library.

Also turn off the Automatic updates for Posts and Machines in your Preferences 🙂

Also, your post properties within the post processor dialog sometimes get overwritten during an update. So if you want to have the 'write tool list' checked it's better to hardcode it in the post processor (and of course like @engineguy says, store it local).

writeTools: {
title: "Write tool list",
description: "Output a tool list in the header of the code.",
group: 4,
type: "boolean",
value: true,
scope: "post"
}

Probably the value in your post is set to 'false', turn it to 'true' and save it!

I’m not sure how to do what your post is asking me to.

You can edit your post processor by yourself for instance with using VisualStudioCode. Or if it's out of your league I'm happy to take a quick look at it.

 

Can you share your CPS file (postprocessor)
