    Question My post processor doesn't work on newer versions

    Hello everybody!!!

    We have at work a PADE CNC that uses an OSAI controller. Generating codes is not a big deal when using the old Alpacam V7, it creates two types of files; the first, a file with extension .Prg and some others with .anc.

    Example of .Prg file:
    Code:
    F1
    T,N2,R9000,t02.002,M1,U2
    P,X198.428,Y375.492,Z80,A0,b0,C0,F0,G200,m110000,o0
    I,OP01-01,.\Projects\3401MA - BASE\OP01-01.anc,S0
    T,N3,R9000,t03.003,M1,U3
    P,X6.337,Y278.925,Z80,A0,b0,C0,F0,G200,m310000,o0
    I,OP02-01,.\Projects\3401MA - BASE\OP02-01.anc,S0
    P,X157.5,Y-13.075,Z80,A0,b0,C0,F0,G200,m310000,o0
    I,OP03-01,.\Projects\3401MA - BASE\OP03-01.anc,S0
    P,X339.862,Y253.636,Z80,A0,b0,C0,F0,G200,m310000,o0
    I,OP04-01,.\Projects\3401MA - BASE\OP04-01.anc,S0
    Example of .anc file (the OP01-01.anc specified above):
    Code:
    ; 
    ;
    G1 X0 Y0 Z-60 F4000 
    G2 X-28.428 Y-27.492 R28.4443 F2000 
    G3 X-182.6 Y-294.46 R178 
    X125.743 Y-294.46 R178 
    X-28.428 Y-27.492 R178 
    G2 X-60.652 Y1.462 R32.4078

    The problem is that when I try to use a newer version of Alphacam it only generates an almost blank .Prg file, with just one line:

    Code:
    F1
    I don't know what is causing this, but having to use an old version of Alphacam is not an ideal solution for me.
    Can anyone help me sorting this out?

    Did you recieved also some error during generate NC code? Which version Alphacam you use (newest)? 32 or 64 bit?
