Hi All.
Does anyone else here use HSMWorks or HSMXpress?
I am wanting to learn about editing the post processor's
As of yet I have not really found anything to help guide me thought the post processor, and how to edit.
HSMWorks and HSMXpress both include a "mach2mill.cps" post processor file, this is dated 31 Jan 2013.
I would like to be able to add and changed a few of the default functions of the post processor.
Thanks for your time.

Here is a link to the functions you can use: https://github.com/AutodeskCAM/Docum...-sm-130829.pdf
and here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imnUJLChlXE
komatias: I would like to thank you for the links above.
I have been trying to make use of the details provided.
Unfortunately I have never done any kind of Java / JavaScript programming before.
I have found a newer postprocessor "mach3mill.cps, dated 12 Aug 2016.
One of the things that I would like to edit the post processor to do, is that I would like the spindle direction and speed to be called at each machine operation, and not only when a tool is changed or a change of speed.
I have attached a copy of the mach3mill post processor, it is using the txt file extension so please rename to cps as needed.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.
Prof,
be careful with that post. It seems to be written with chinese spindles in mind.
So just so I am clear.
Say you have 3 contours you are milling, which are three different lines in the operations tree, but use the same tool:
You want the M3 and S**** codes to be put at the start of each one even though a T** and a M6 are not called.
Will have a look where we can add this.
komatias: Thanks for your reply.
That is exactly what I would like to happen, please see example codes below.

Prof,
I will have a look in the next few days and report back. May have to look into the functions that are called per operation which I played with them for a while so will need to investigate.
The other option is to submit a question on the Fusion 360 community pages on the autodesk site. they are very helpful.
