HSMWorks and HSMXpress: post processor editing

[komatias]

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.

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.
