which editor mastercam do you used? if you are using an editor after mastercam x, you should cop a CNC machine too. then select machine type-you renamed machine.and get it linked with you renamed postprocessor( setting- machine definition manager ).

I use MASTERCAM x5, I took a standard "generic fanuc lathe 2x. pst", copied it, and renamed the "test.pst" I copied the "generic fanuc lathe 2x. control" and renamed "test.control, and" lathe 2-xis slant bed mm.LMD" copy, rename the "test. LMD" .. then I setup machine definition and control def. manager and the canned cycle is not working, i get a whole range of g code
