Hello fellow academy users 
I have a case where i work. I have 3 machines, fusion 360 ultimate and i am unsure which post processors i need to get the machines to work with fusion 360.
Sould somone please help me with this ?
The machines are as follows:
A 2004 5axis Geiss FZ 2000 x 1000 ECO mill/router with a Sinumerik 840 DI Powerline – equipped with a Windows NT-System and MCI-Board (they have used an old version of mastercam in the past)
A 2014 3axis Mastercam 3000 router (i am using Enroute 5 for this now but i only have a 2d license for it)
A 2016 4/4,5axis? Doosan Lynx 220m lathe with doosan - fanuc iSeries (no cam at this moment)
I want to be able to use only one cad/cam program to control these machines if it is possible
Regards
Kim Ove Neverdal

If you do not see anything close to your machines, there is a wealth of knowledge in the forum https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm/ct-p/213. You can ask here and someone should be able to assist you in finding the correct post processor or aid you in modifying one to meet the needs of your machines.

Okay, I can use some help with anyone that is comfortable editing post processors. I have toyed with several of the generic posts offereing in the AutoDesk forum for Haas lathes. I have a ST-20 without C axis, without Y axis and without live tooling. All of the posts I have tried I end up with some type of code remnant that is one of the before mentioned modals in my posts, specifically when I drill or tap (drilling cycles). I know how to remove objectionable code manually, but would like a clean post for my students, who still do not know what to look for or what to remove. I ended up tailoring a pst that I thought had finally solved my problem this summer, but methinks AutoDesk changed something on the drill cycle end that has resulted in c axis code and sub programs to pop up. I am attaching a link to the pst file I use in my class. link to custom lathe post

My student had snapped the centerline of a drilled hole off about .005". This made the part look like a mill part and not a turn part. This resolved the C-axis outputs 
I should have caught it. Normally I revolve my drilled holes as part of the sketch. that insures all features are concentric. Oh well, one more thing to look for when proofing their programs.

Are you still looking for help with this? Just reply and I’ll get to work on it. I only just saw the Forum and your post and would love to help you out.

Thanks, my post I edited some time back was working fine. My student has a drilled hole on a lathe part off center, this caused the post to see it as need a live tool.

Looks like there has been a long time since I last checked out my post in here, so i haven`t seen this before now 
I am not working for the company anymore so I am not in need for the prosessor anymore
