Steve,
I didn't know they included manuals with the installation. That's cool. I haven't perused the installed gpost directory in years and years, because I have my post-processor files in a permanent directory, so I don't have to worry about shenanigans caused by installing the latest version of Creo.
I've posted some parts of my FIL files on here in the past, to answer questions I had answers for, like when I wanted to "fix" the wildly incorrect time estimates given for drilling cycles (the default is to assume all holes are drilled with one straight shot, no pecking, etc). It's the easiest way to illustrate techniques. Of course, as with most computer programs, many of the ones I've found as examples are horrible messes of incomprehensible code. The hardest part of this stuff is deciphering and debugging the more esoteric calls to POSTF.
I think the main problem is that the user base for the Manufacturing module is small, so we don't see a lot of trial-and-error experiences to learn from. No matter how much I like this tool for difficult programming (like custom trajectory milling on contoured surfaces with a flat endmill), MasterCAM is the most common means of generating NC programs. Oh well.
