It is not difficult to make custom post processors once you get the general flow of hyperPOST. There is an omf file that is loaded into HyperPost. That file contains all the details on how hyperPost formats and creates the post processor.

You should make a copy of your current omf file and give it a unique name like the name of your machine tool. Then load that omf file into hyperPOST and start exploring around the various levels of its directory.

You will see the following sections:
description
properties
format specifications
variables
macros (requires hyperPOST Pro)
components
procedures (where you find the gcode commands)


You make the change you desire and then tell hyperPOST to write a new oma file. The oma file is of course the post processor. I would give it the same name as the omf file.

I have a few different post processors. One I use when I do not have my 4th axis attached and one when I do. I have a special one for use with the new way NC files are created in Hypermill 9.

What kind of change do you want to make? I will guide you through it if I can.
