    Gibbs2012+w/Advanced CS and Fadal VMC40+VH65 Rotary Post Problem

    Hello, I learned enough to get a good CPR for my first Gibbs part which requires 4 simple rotary positions for machining. I used the posthaste with "Fadal Format 1 (E), 4ax simult (InvTime),pM4 selected and get the message "Warning: This version of the post does not support rotary motion." I am programming with rotary positions only, not simultaneous moves since I have ACS and not rotary milling. Anyone have a post for this VMC40/VH65 combination or a better posthaste file to work with on the plugin. Is there a position only 4th axis posthaste file for ACS I should be getting?

    The first question would be, did it actually post the code correctly?
    It may just be informational.

    Otherwise, give the boys at Posthaste a call.
    I played with it a little a few years back, and they were very helpful.

    Lastly, the best way is to but the correct GibbsCAM post from your authorized reseller.
    Then you will get exactly the code you need.

    It wouldn't do anything past the warning-- the only option to get past the screen was abort. The posthast for the 3 axis puts out code all normal however. Since I am not on maintenance-- would they actually sell me a post?
