4th Axis Machining no longer setup - How to change Permissions

Anonymous
Not applicable

I've had 4th axis (3+1) capabilities with my post processor (Brackets) for a year now however recently I went to use the ability with wrap machining and it kicks out an error.  I opened the cps (linuxcnc.cps in this case) file and noticed none of my previous setting were there.  I tried to change the setup to be "True" and to specify for A axis and when I go to save the file it no longer allows me to and generates an error saying I do not have permission to save this file.  I know I've done it before and although I've searched for an hour on the subject I haven't come to any conclusion.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

example: tried to change line 163-166 from:

 

if (false) { // note: setup your machine here
    var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:false, axis:[1, 0, 0], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
    var cAxis = createAxis({coordinate:2, table:false, axis:[0, 0, 1], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
    machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis, cAxis);

 

to:

if (true) { // note: setup your machine here
    var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:false, axis:[1, 0, 0], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
   
    machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis);

If you have your post in the generic posts folder every time fusion updates it will over right it.

 

You need to save the file to your desktop then drag it into the assets folder in fusion then it will be editable and you will find it under use cloud posts and it wont be overwritten again.
