Post processor saves as Tormach.nc in destination folder without launching file destination dialog box

I've changed the destination folder and this still happens.

Normally, I leave the default program name as 1001 which throws a Windows dialog box with the correct destination folder, with 1001.nc as the filename which I can then change or save.

However, today, it doesn't do that any more. Instead, it skips the Windows dialog box altogether and saves a file called Tormach.nc which it opens in the selected text Editor.

I've searched everywhere and looked on the Forum but I can't see anywhere to change this behaviour back to the default.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Hey, thanks for coming to the forum. This is a known issue, and there are two things to do to workaround this bug:
  1. Turn off the "Automatically get latest Posts and Machines" Preview Flag found in the Preview Features of the Preferences.
  2. Go to our HSM Post Library https://cam.autodesk.com/hsmposts? and download the post for your controller, but save it to a new local folder or the cloud assets and then search to that path2021-01-20_15h05_06.png

This should now be fixed in the latest HotFix that went out yesterday.

I was having this problem yesterday and today it seems to be working as normal.  Thank you.
