    NX5 Mori 2 axis lathe post

    We're currently starting to use NX5 for our programming software. I found the generic posts, but where can I find specific custom Mori posts that will output set-up sheet info, cycle times, etc. After completing the 2 axis posts, we need to find the Mori mill-turns posts.
    Thanks,

    Although there are shopdocs available in the default install most users program their own. You can let the postprocessor create a set up sheet. It requires a bit of tcl programming to get it right.

    Thanks for the reply. I've been playing with the post & have it pretty close.
    However, being new to NX and editting the .tcl files, it's taking more time than I have.
    Do you use a canned cycle for threading or is it long hand? I will be using long hand, but I am not to sure how to output it.

    If I can I use canned cycles, less work but sometimes the requirements are different. What do you want to output?

    I prefer not to use canned cycles, even though they are more convenient.
    The reason not to is have more control on the shop not editting the programs.
    Thanks,
