Error in Post processing to turning

Hello.
I'm using Inventor 2022 and CAM 2022 and some errors happen when I try to configure Post processing for fanuc turning.cps in Setup>Edit>Machine Configuration. See the figure below.
Note that in machining I do not use the Y axis.

In Setup > Select it is set to Generic Lathe.

As I cannot configure the post processor in Setup, I cancel and access the Post Process option in ribbon, but an NC program is not generated and this error is displayed:

Error: Invalid machine configuration in toolpath.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Error: Failed to execute configuration.
Stop time: Thursday, May 26, 2022 6:05:59 PM
Post processing failed.

 

 

I updated the post processors and the error persists.
If in Setup> Select I change to Generic Mill-Turn Lathe and then configure the Post Processing in Edit>Machine Configuration for fanuc turning.cps, the error does not occur, however, when generating the NC program it is generated with a milling tool in Autodesk HSM. See the figure below.
And all tools configured for turning disappear.

Other post processors also fail. Tried Hass, Mazak and others.

I update both to 2023 version but the same occurs.

Is there any configuration that needs to be done so that these errors and failures do not occur?

Thank you very much for some help.

Hello Domingos,

 

This is an issue with Inventor.  It is not necessary to use a Machine Configuration with lathe post processors, actually the Machine Configuration is not used by any of our turning posts.  You can remove the Machine Configuration from the Setup and it should post without errors.

I left the configuration in "Post Process" as shown in the following figure and unchecked it in "Setup", but it didn't work. The error persists.
I have tried other configuration combinations, but the problem remains.

What can you suggest me?

Thanks for providing your model, I have tried it here running the following versions of Inventor and Inventor CAM.

 

Autodesk Inventor Professional 2023

Build: 158, Release: 2023.0.1 -Date Wed 04/27/2022

 

Inventor CAM Ultimate

Build: 10.0.0.21308

Post processor version: 4.5843.0

 

I selected a machine configuration and get the same error that you do, but after deselecting the machine configuration it runs without issues.  The Setup should look like this without the red X displayed.

If you are running the same versions that I am and are still having the problem, then please try creating a new Setup without a machine configuration and copying the operations into this Setup to see if this resolves the issue.

With the update to version 2023 and rebuilding the setup without selecting the machine, it was possible to generate the G code successfully. I am gratefull for that.
Some other issues need attention:
The stock size defined in Inventor CAM does not persist in Autodesk HSM.
Tools configured in Inventor CAM do not persist in Autodesk HSM.

I don't know if any configuration is required to succeed with this.

When you mention Autodesk HSM, which main product are you referring to, Inventor, HSMWorks (SolidWorks), or Fusion 360?
