    Variable MOVE_NEEDED inside postprocessor code is not declared.
    Alphacam post and VBA macros, Autodesk HSM post.

    Re: ERROR User variable not declared MOVE_NEEDED

    Open the Post in AlphaEdit for editing then search for $1000 section of the Post then make a new line under the $1000 line with the following code

    MOVE_NEEDED (6,0,0)

    then save post and then re-select the Post in AlphaCam Mill or Router which ever you are using.
    The (6,0,0) is for Integer Format with no leading or trailing zero's, I'm assuming by the name of the variable that it's just an On or Off variable either 1 or 0,
    if it needs another format use ( ) for numbers similar to XY and Z Axes Format or (" ") for Text Format.

    Re: ERROR User variable not declared MOVE_NEEDED

    Hi Frank . I dint mean to bother you. I have a Cr Onsrud /osai10 router i would like to get working and would like to use it with mastercam 2019 but cannot find a post program for Osai. I tried to edit the Fanuc version with only limited success. I have a technical background but i am new to CNC. I think I could manage edits on an Osai post processor Or something close. Do you think you could help me. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks Kevin
