Export toolpath to CSV

[dominik.reisach]

Hello!

I need help exporting my toolpaths to a CSV file.

I tried using the Autodesk XYZ post-processor. It works fine when the Tool Orientation is the same as the WCS. However, as soon as I change the Tool Orientation (what I actually need to do!), the export fails.

The error message is "Tool orientation is not supported!" I don't get it... I just want the coordinates to be exported.

Can someone help me, please?

Best,

Dominik

You will need to add multi-axis support to your post processor. This guide can help you do just that.

@seth.madoreThanks for your reply, but that didn't help. However, mingling with the .cps file made me find the issue:

function onSection() {
{ // pure 3D
var remaining = currentSection.workPlane;
/**
if (!isSameDirection(remaining.forward, new Vector(0, 0, 1))) {
error(localize("Tool orientation is not supported."));
return;
}
*/
setRotation(remaining);
}

It just commented out the if-statement and now it is working.
