cannot "see" new edited post (??)

Post by Zcases »

This happened to me a few years ago on a different machine. Goint through the same thing again, and cannot find where I asked the question here or in an email to support......

basically - I edited the Fadal PP to use I and J for arcs using notepad. I saved as a TXT, then I renamed it to a PP expension.

How can I get Vcarve to "see" this new PP?

Thanks (againnnnnn!)

Hi Scott,

First, be sure you have saved it to the correct folder. This FAQ should help with that:

Then, realize the name of the pp that shows in the pull-down list on the Toolpath Tab is not the file name, but the text in quotes in the POST_NAME line in the post processor itself.

Thanks Tim - you got it...............

The name was not changed in the quotes within the pp itself. Im all set now, and just ran my first real part off the machine after 4 months! What a road it was.....

THanks again!
