Hi guys, all of a sudden my lathe mode will not post, mill files post fine. Been using this V25 since it came out with no problems. Could someone look at this simple lathe file and tell me if I am having a brain lock or something! I have 2 seat of V 25 and it is doing it on both.
Thanks

I tried to upload my .bbcd file but no luck, new at this.

You need to put the BobCAD file in a Zip folder, then the Zone will accept the upload.

If you aren`t sure how to do the Zip File then try this, find the file on your HDD, highlight it and Right Click, from the list that appears select "Send to" then "Compressed (zipped) folder", that will create a zipped up copy of your file that you will be able to upload to the Zone

Here is the file, I saved the file as a DXF and opened it in my V23 and it posted fine. Just got finished running the part. It is the end of a HYD cylinder. I know it is probably me doing something dumb, because bothe seats of V25 quit posting and lathe mode work.

Tried it in V27 and it works fine and posts fine.

Hood, thanks for trying, it runs fine on my seat of V23 but for some reason lathe mode quit posting on both seats of my V25, two different computers. I am at a loss, can't figure it out to save my life!

I am still trying things, I don't understand why in mill mode everything posts as it should, and when I draw something in lathe mode the tool path computes and will simulate but will not post. This problem just started in the last couple of weeks and it is doing it on both computers.

I had a similar "funny" with mill in V25 when my machine definition became corrupted, I had to create a new machine definition before it would post again.
Just an idea,

Update,
I was a missing a lathepost.exe file in my post directory, somehow it got deleted, called BobCad and they were super helpful, was on the phone 2 hours with them trouble shooting. Can't say enough about the good service.
