I am having trouble posting to the G18 plane. I have a Hermle mill that uses a Heidenhain 155 post. This machine can be either a vertical head machine or a horizontal head machine. I have tried editing the post but always get the x,y,z ouptut and need a x,z,y output. I have changed the csys set-up and the simulation looks right but the posted code is wrong. Help Please

Okay...worked on this post for a G18 version. The only thing I don,t know is if my cycle data is correct. can someone verify if I have it right.

Thinking there is a much easier way.....anybody?

We see that in your post processor you have swapped out variables for Y and Z coordinate axis. The drill cycle variables/macros in the post processor for example [CYCL_Z-DEPTH] outputs the drill depth and this is typically along the Z axis. If you are looking to output the drill depth as a Y coordinate parameter, you could defined the variable as Y[CYCL_Z-DEPTH]
We have updated your post processor with the following changes to the standard drill cycle macro definition.
Changed [CYCL_Y-DEPTH] to [CYCL_Z-DEPTH]
Y[CYCL_Y+CLEAR] to Y[CYCL_Z+CLEAR]
as [CYCL_Y+CLEAR] & [CYCL_Y-DEPTH] are not valid variable definitions in the post processor.
