I am using Solidworks / HSMExpress with an older '97 model Fadal (vmc15). Having a variety of problems. Love Solidworks, but still learning the program. Anyways, first question is with the Post processor that came with HSMX for fadal does not post correctly. Things will simulate correctly but then the drilling / tapping cycles will not work correctly in the machine.

Other problems I have are with the software generating toolpaths that are like violent dogleg moves during Z axis UP/Down moves that torture the axis and motor. It adds a small X move in the middle of the Z move that makes it go Wham... and shakes the machine! I don't like that. Is there any way to edit the toolpath and remove this line? Usually found in the adaptive clearing operations.

Any help appreciated.
