    transferring post processes to floppy

    Hi, I am having trouble coping the post processes to a floppy drive. I create the cam in fusion, select generic haas and i can see the code on my desktop but when i copy it to the floppy the code will not show and it will not show on the machine ether. the machine is a Haas tm1 year 2003. I am using fusion 360 on a Mac computer with a sabrent floppy usb drive. i am a little lost, i am new to cnc and just picked up the mill friday.

    Have you tried using windows file explorer to see if the file was actually copied to the floppy? When you read the floppy from the mill, what does it show when you do a directory listing?

    Check your naming convention for length etc some system are finnicky also copy a text file with G-Code to ensure its copying can't see any other reason unless format on floppy is non standard.

    If the mill sees the file, my first guess is that its an issue with the post and some syntax (like something that basically leaves all the gcode as a comment or something).

    Did it come with any files on it that you can compare the beginning and end with?
