SPOST setup

[cadmanj]

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)

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.
