What you can do with ConfigPost
ConfigPost enables you to create and save custom post processor configuration files for the CNC machine you select to machine a part. This process is often referred to as configuring a postprocessor.
Machine tool manufacturers use a variety of CNC program standards, but ConfigPost gives you the freedom to configure a postprocessor for virtually any CNC.
Postprocessor configuration files commonly use .PST
as a file extension. For example, FANUC.PST
is a postprocessor configuration file for a machine equipped with a Fanuc control.
Note: CNC Lathes equipped with a sub-spindle require two Post files: one with the extension
.PST
and one with the extension .SUB
, for example, T42.PST
and T42.SUB
. When working with ConfigPost you open either a .PST
file or a .SUB
file. When you are working with PartMaker and select Post Config File from PartMaker’s Job Optimizer menu, both files are opened at once.
