post process wont work

[joeQEQEC]

We have added a 4th axis on our doosan dnm 6700 at our shop. when I go to post the process for the program it keeps coming up with an error saying that the machine is not configured to that type of rotation. I have looked up videos and seen where and how you edit the post to allow the A axis to be allowed but I am not given nor can I find the place to edit it. we have the same post process viewer and editor but I have no option to change the parameter. How can I get fusion to configure to the right processor so we can get work done with our 4th axis?

this is my first time posting on the forums so hopefully the link works, and helps give an idea of what is going on

I experienced this. It was because my customer had his rotary parallel to the Y axis instead of the X axis.

For a quick fix I just made the rotary parallel to x axis in the software and used coordinate rotation (G92 R90.)

To swing the program 90 degrees and it worked perfectly.

I have attached a picture of the program and it has the program parallel to the x axis correct?

[dmealer]

Looks correct!

when you post their are a bunch of settings that you can change that pops up!

is there one like “use rotary?”

[dmealer]

Sorry I’m on my phone or I would get laptop out so I could be more specific

[joeQEQEC]

The only option is allowing 5 axis which is turned off. I am using doosans faunc 3/5 axis which is what the fusion team said to use. Even when trying another processor which a 4th the same error post comes up

[joeQEQEC]

I feel like I have tried so many different options and get the same error message no matter what I try

[dmealer]

You could send me the file and I’ll give it a try. 
I know how frustrating this can be

I finally got it to work with a Haas 4 axis post after a little tweaking. Biggest thing was you WCS was not aligned to the part. it was a tad crooked. I don't know if that was intentional or not. But after aligning it correctly the Haas post would spit out code. The Doosan post refuses still. I did what little checking I know how to do and it seems multi axis is enabled in the stock Doosan post. You will have to have one of the master  minds on here help you.

I hope i helped at least a little.

[joeQEQEC]

this definitely helped, realigning it got rid of the error for tool paths. I used the hass post and it is saying that 

Direction is not supported for machine configuration. what did you do to get around this?

[dmealer]

The first path...the rotary path is fixed in this file.

[dmealer]

Using the haas post

[dmealer]

That's using the next generation post and you have to tell it in the options that it has a A axis

[joeQEQEC]

hmm, I am wondering if there is something else that is going on, because I tried your file with the hass post and still getting the same thing where Direction is not supported for machine configuration. 

[dmealer]

Could be...I attached pics. If you get this resolved please let me know what the final solution was as I had to blow 25 cloud credits to work on this file. I hope you get it figured out and im happy to help more but i am at kind of a loss.

If you have a fusion salesman sometimes they can get you help.

[joeQEQEC]

can you send me a picture of which hass processor you chose, because I did not have the options on the side of which axis i wanted, either the a, b, or c

[joeQEQEC]

you have been a big help so far!

[daniel_lyall]

Can you attach the post you are using or is it one from the fusion 360 libraries?

Is it A and C or A and B you want?

[joeQEQEC]

we are using the post from the fusion library, we are trying to get the a axis
