Hello @torABLHW ,

I have noticed that the postprocessor you are using is really outdated, it looks like 2014!

I would suggest you to update it, just download the latest version from the post library.

Having said that, I have tried to modify it to suit your needs.

Please try to do what I show you below:

1.

2.

Please test it carefully and let me know.

Thanks.

Hello @torABLHW ,

if you are using a 2016 version, you will not be able to use the latest versions.

You can search through the previous versions of the postprocessor:

In the meantime, have you tried the modifications I suggested?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Ohhh now i have an error as seen on the picture.

I seems to have something to do with G18.

I tried earlier to disable it from the postprocessor and then the error don't come again, so that could be ok.

But maybe it is better to locate why it make an error with G18 and the use the G17, G18 and G19 funktions, there mus be a reason why they ar defined in the post.

Best regards

Hello @torABLHW ,

you can try to modify the 'allowedCircularPlanes' command as shown below:

'1' means that your postprocessor will handle circular moves only on G17 plane.

Please test it carefully and let me know.

Thanks.
