HAAS A-Axsis post - Not NGC (generic)

[Anonymous]

Hello.

Have a 4 year old HAAS VF 4 SS with A-axsis. Have been using the Post for this that always come with the latest updates of Fusion 360. Unfortunately I made a big mistake with not saving this post as a separate file. Now fusion updates all HAAS post with pre-NGC posts. This post seems not to work properly when posting the code.

I use pattern, and at the end of the program it should post code for tool change to new tool etc - but this seems to be missing in the code from PRE NGC post

How can I get the last post processor thats made - not for Pre NGC?? or can the new post be improved to also work for machines without NGC control??

Are there are place where all version of post are stored?

Below code posted with new and old PP:

This is code from OLD post Processor:

What i noticed first is that your old output starts by using Tool #12, where your new output starts by using Tool #1.

Can you please share your fusion file including toolpathes?

I made a mistake in the cam tree - by having same tool number on two operations following each other.

I changed the tool number and it all worked fine.
