Which Post for This Part on VMC? File Attached

I posted on how generate toolpaths earlier and appreciate the input.   I now have the toolpaths correct and this part is going to be mounted on a fixture for a standard rotary table on a Doosan VMC.    When I use the Doosan from the post library I get A and C axis moves, but only have the 4th A axis.   When I use the 4th Axis post I get errors start on the "bore" and "spot drill" ops.   Is it possible to do this part like I'm wanting to on a fourth axis and what post?  thank you!

It doesn't appear that the Doosan 3/5 axis post includes any logic for us poor folk that only have the 4th axis rotary on it. Your best solution is to use the Fanuc Inverse Time/4th axis post:

Thanks Seth,

 

I get this error on the drilling ops

 

rror: Error: Direction is not supported for machine configuration.
Error at line: 1
Error in operation: 'SPOT DRILL CENTER LEFT'

Stack dump:
("Direction is not supported for machine configuration.")@:0

That's because the holes aren't in line with your Z axis
