Post-Processor issues w/ tool change syntax

[thomas.virnston1]

Thank you in advance for any help, friends!

Shop is trying to get our M-Series C.R. Onsrud router running smoothly. Interface is aFANUC iPendant controller. Google and Onsrud support have yielded little fruit.

- Crux of the issue is that the syntax "TxM6" seems to be the default output of FANUC post processors. This seems to trigger an error upon any tool change function. (Not sure why placing the "T" before M6 causes this, to my knowledge this is normally interpreted either way)

- Remedied by manually editing "M6Tx" for every instance a tool changes.

This is likely a embarassingly simple fix.
Am I missing a post processor property in Fusion to change this behavior? 
Or if you're aware of a generic post that uses this convention, I would be extremely grateful.

Does anyone know how to edit the .cps file to make "M6Tx" the new default?

Thank you!

I changed this before in another post processor.

If you share the CPS file I might take a look!

Thank you for taking a look. I've never been strong at coding, so your help is much appreciated!

Hi @thomas.virnston1 

I've changed the post processor like you asked. I hope this works for you

Be extremely careful when using this / a changed post processor.

Wow, thank you immensely sir! I will heed that note of caution.

God bless!

Hey! I know this is quite a bit of time later but how did this post processor work out for your C.R. Onsrud and Fusion? I was just hired on at fabrication shop as a designer/programmer and their C.R. Onsrud M-Series with a FANUC Oi Pendent has been collecting dust. Apparently the last programmer made off with the post processor sometime ago. 

Hoping this one will work and just curious, thank you very much!
