Gentlemen, I would like to have multiaxis output from postp. I see the multax is commented out. I would really like to see XYZABCUVW from postp for EMC. This would match the current state of EMC2 capability. There is no need for pivot length calculations. There is no need for tool length calculations. EMC2 takes care of both. XYZ are linear. UVW are linear. ABC rotary axes are currently wrapped linear but I am trying to get the EMC2 developers to implement ABC rotary (0 degrees to 359.999 degrees) (+/- tells direction not position) so it would be nice to have that as an option in postp. Let me know. stuart@mpm1.com
thanks

The problem is not APT, the problem is that you need a postprocessor to do this for you. And you are demanding a lot. APT is for true multiaxis, where the spindle has the ability to be offset off parallel with Z and to then be rotated. That is why the calculations are done the way they are.
If you want a better POST then perhaps you should do as I am an work on a POST that meets your needs.
