3 plus 2 post processor help

[Anonymous]

Im on Powermill 2018 standard. Will 3 plus 2 machining work on this. (im looking top bore a simple hole at 90 degs in the side of a job with a B axis head) I keep getting a message saying that 'this machine cannot handle multi axis machining'. Is this a post processor issue or do I need a new post. Or does anyone have a example post I could use. We are using Mazak so would be ISO programing thanks ive attached a image to show my issue. Thanks

We've seen something similar in the past, changing tool axis from Automatic to Vertical was our answer?

Perhaps may be yours?

The tool axis is set to Vertical in the tool path settings

It is the post you are using, it is not setup for 3+2 machining

How do I set up for 3 plus 2. Is that somthing Autodesk will have to help me with? or is there a example post I could use.

Yes, Autodesk will help set up a post to meet your machine needs, just create a case through their support portal.
