    I may be able to help you out.
    I have a plain language post, MMD, and control file for mastercam X4.

    u can try running updatepost.dll and file/update folder to update the files to your X9.

    Re: Heidenhain Post Processors for Mastercam X9

    I just read the 'sticky' post about a user's first posting not being popular if they are begging for post-processors. So, I am going to make myself unpopular I guess. I too am looking for a post-processor or some help maybe on how to get Mastercam X4 to talk to my Bridgeport Interact with Heidenhain TNC151. Thus far I have been hand coding conversational code on the PC and uploading it to the controller via the Heidenhain TNC program over an RS232. So I am slightly more evolved that a pure novice, but only slightly. I was thinking that maybe I should just go to CamBam, as there is support for the TNC151. I am a software engineer by trade, so I m nt worried about writing a bit of Python to fiddle with the G-code.

    this is a fully working post, for mcam, to run TNC355 in conversational, arcs in xy, xz and yz etc. Drilling cycles need datum set to top of work, z=0 , it will work if z isn't zero but i can't remember how. Output: set up above work is -ve and cut depth below work is also -ve, all values must be either +ve or -ve otherwise you get an error. I've used it for a couple of years with no problem, does surfaces etc etc, trying to get it to do helical interpolation for threads, so if you know anyone, please send them my way. Many Thanks. Lawrence.

    Hi Azerty,
    Many thanks for this. I too found this post on the interweb. This particular post is from circa 1993 and probably for Mastercam V5. However X4 converts these posts, more or less upto modern format. This was enough for me to get going, and after a few hours of fiddling I have something that works on X4, at least for circular interpolation in XY plane, and canned peck drilling. I have as yet to test the surface function, but HH conversational is very easy to write a post for, and debug. I'd not be so keen to do it with G code!
