you get that error in the control software or in partworks? Save some hair to rip out later you're going to need it. It can be pretty frustrating up front...but trust me eventually it will be almost as easy as setting up your table saw. I like drawing my parts in another program and then using partworks to create my tool paths. Just give us a little better description what you're process is up until the point you get the error.

Do you get the error when in preview mode? Or only when you try and cut in cut mode?

[david_white]

Hi Terry, not realy sure what you mean .the bot is new .

[tkovacs]

David - the screen capture above is from the save toolpaths screen in PartWorks. I have highlighted the pulldown list where a post processor can be selected.

Hi Terry , thanks for your hellp. Last night I figured it out . I was not saving my tool path, I have a small brain.

Thanks Dave

David - There are a lot of things to get in order befor you make your first cut. Lots of fun to make your first sawdust though! I seem to have more bouts with SBS (Small Brain Syndrome) as time goes on...
