    Question SPOST setup

    Can someone help me?
    I have an Spost post for my Mach3 Lathe.
    The only problem is that I've only used Mpost.
    My surfcam.pst file had been changed to just Mposts so I cannot use a different spost and change it to my new one.
    I've looked online and have not found anything.
    Any little direction would help.

    Thanks,

    Cadmanj

    To add a post :
    start , all programs, surfcam (your rev) , surfcam tools , post menue wizard.
    ....
    after you add a post (spost) change the name to a new name.
    configure the post in spost configuration (same place)

    I get an error

    CNC_Joseph,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did what you said and it did add the post to my library.
    When I try to post with it i get an error.System cannot find the specified file.

    Do you have any Ideas? I looked in the Surfcam.PST file.
    It did add the command lines in the lathe folder as expected.
    The wierd thing I found is that it is a lathe post and the command line uses Epostwin not lpostwin.

    When I added the post to the menu I picked Lathe.


    Thanks for the reply.

    1. Copy your SPost file for Mach3 Lathe into the \surfcam\postlib\spost\
    (The file should be UNCL01.Pxx and UNCL01.Fxx)

    2. Use the Postwizard to add a post but choose Lathe.

    3. Look at the SPost at right side and choose the Mach3 Lathe from the list

    next , lathe, next, exit , accept.
