Post to nc program bug

[Don.Cyr]

Seems when I use the "post to nc program" option I get different output code than using the normal post dialog. Using A slightly modified Haas NGC post. The main error is on the G187 line. With the normal post dialog I get:

G187 P3 E.0005 *(I have the E value output same as "tolerance" on passes tab)

With post to NC program I get:

G187 P3   *missing the "E" value.

Also noticing that some of the "post properties" selections are defaulting to different values than what are set in the post file or not showing at all on the list..

Any ideas?

Post file is attached for reference.

Seems to work fine here, I have just done two tests on the same document, one with the NC Program and one without, G code output is identical. 🙂

Are you sure that you are using the same PP from the same location, for example, one is in the Local Library and one is in the Installed library, so the one in the installed library could easily have been modified during an update unless you have the Automatic PP updates disabled under your preferences.

Zip file attached with the two G Code outputs, if you can find a difference then feedback, I didn`t look too hard 🙂 🙂 🙂

Thank for kicking my brain into gear! Didn't realize I didn't update the modified post into the cloud library for our entire team to use... I usually don't do that until I know the edits I made actually work correctly. Uploaded my modified post and works perfectly now.

Thanks again!
