Siemans 840c lathe post help.

[cody]

Hello,

I am having trouble with a post for my lathe. Everything works as far as non cycle toolpaths, but it will not

post when I put any drill cycle in the program. I've attached the .cps and f3d file for someone to look at.

If you post any of the toolpaths except the drill it will work and the code is good. I have ran this machine on 

some parts for a while now that did not require any cycle toolpaths, so I never bothered with it, but now I 

am using it for one off stuff and need to figure it out. I'm not opposed to longhand code and ditch the cycles. I would 

prefer longhand because its a weird control and there just isn't much support out there. Thanks for any help.

Huh. I was going to jump in and at least take a look at it, but Fusion is crashing when opening that file 😞

Seth,

  I had that issue yesterday. I eliminated the last path and reattached. I think maybe it is that causing crash.

Thanks,

Turns out it's the In Process Stock caching that's causing the crash. Opened succesfuly, let's see if I can make heads or tails of what's going on. Likely not, I'm not a post guy (at all)

This parameter does not exist: getParameter("operation:feedHeight");  

However, 

getParameter("operation:feedHeight_value");   

OR

getParameter("operation:feedHeight_offset"); 

... might work  

Also, properties.type is not defined.

We do have an unreleased 840c post that might be of help to you if you are interested in taking a peek at the logic in it

Seth,

  Yes. I will look at and compare. I will also test on the machine and report back for you guy's. I've modified posts for several machines but this thing is weird. I appreciate the help. Please attach or send me the 840c post. You may still

have my email in your contacts.

Thanks,
