I notice there hasn't been any feedback on this. I looked for any post-processors that are 4- or 5-axis, and it seems that every time someone asks a question about one, there is zero response. If I recall correctly, there are companies that will create a post-processor for your specific machine. Unfortunately, I have never found a source for general information about making such a thing myself. If I could get a copy of the "FIL" file used to process 4th axis stuff, I'd likely be able to figure out how things are done, etc.

You could also call the company that sold you the Pro/Engineer software, and see if they have any suggestions. They usually will be able to put you in touch with people that build post-processors for a living.

Ken,

the Fil and GPost manuals are in your load point. C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\M070\Common Files\x86e_win64\gpost. if you want to try and make one yourself.

Most of the time post processors don't get shared as far as I have seen. If you want someone to custom make one you might try Austin NC directly they might build one for you.
