    Hello Mike!

    I open the Code Wizard then select to make a new document and then press OK and a new window where i can select Mill, Lathe or Wire is presented and there i select Mill as the machine i want to create a post processor for is a Mill.

    Then after that i get a new window presented to me where to select Machine Type, Rotary table, Rotary head and Graphics etc.

    Here i select Vertical mill and first rotary table A and second is C and then i can not do anything more except select "Load the default parametric graphics" or select if i want to use Inch, Metrics or Both.

    My guess was that the OK button should be pushable but it is not possible, i have tried selecting different machine types like horizontal or gantry machine and different rotary tables, heads but nothing enables me to push the OK button.

    Have i missed anything special?

    Regards,
    Viperia

    Highlight the "NAME" of a template from the list (below left) that you want to use and you will be able to hit OK.
    The bigger problem is which to pick.??? Unfortunately, you don't get very good documentation with this software. But that should get you going anyway.
    I'm trying to figure which one is best for a 4 ax machine. Adaptive (what's this mean), or 5ax?
