The CNC machine that we have is listed in DeskProto, but without the Rotation axis unit that we have. Can we change this ?
In DeskProto it is easy to change your machine definition: you can do so in the Library of machines (Options menu). Adding a Rotation axis can be done by checking the box “Available”. In the Edit box “Centre level” enter the distance between the rotation axis and the machining table. Do NOT check “A-values may exceed …” unless you are sure about this. After pressing OK (twice) the rotation axis functionality will be available in DeskProto. I cannot change the postprocessor to be used. In DeskProto it is indeed impossible to directly choose which postprocessor to use for a certain project. Selecting a postprocessor is a two-step process: first you have to edit a machine-definition (Options menu) to connect the postprocessor to a machine, then you have to select that machine (Parameters menu).
