Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I've managed to cobble together a post that does the job for mitsu I was wondering if there are any Heidenhain posts
available ?
Thanks.

If you need a post we need a sample program to look at.
We need a program with lines arcs and a toolchange in the normal format for the machine so we know how to name the file and what is required in the header.
Please supply a sample file and name the machine model and any other infor.

O.K. I'll try and sort one out, we have an old version of quickcam milling the heidenhain post in that program works fine could it be adapted to use with quickcam 2d design ?
Thanks for your help

Its a totally different system used in the new post files.
The old one that included an Heidenhain post is based on a 16-bit and would have taken us years to update, therefore we have gone for a much simpler way of changing the output.
A basic Heidenhain shouldn't be too much of a problem (I think) in any case you could always run the Heidnhain in ISO mode instead of dialogue, and the basic G code posts will work (with a bit of tweaking)
