    Default Indexer X-axis PP for Aspire

    I was wondering if anyone had a X-axis parallel PP for Aspire they might not mind sharing? I have one from Shopbot for partworks but it appears an Aspire specific one is required.
    Thanks

    Have you tried emailing support at Vectric? They are very good.

    Yes. They do not currently offer a X axis PP.
    They did say they may look into creating one.

    Marion, I believe I have what you want. I can't upload it on this site for some unknown reason but PM me and I will try it that way. Do you have the ATC by chance? I have both so just let me know.

    Marion, I may have jumped the gun! Why do you need a specific post processor for Aspire?? I have the necessary one for Shopbot. Isn't that the one you will need???

    I did try to load the Shopbot supplied PP into Aspire but it didn't appear in the available PPs in the list.

    Marion,

    Be sure you are placing the post processor in the correct folder. Select File>Open Application Data Folder and you will see a folder named PostP. This is where you want to place the new post processor.

    Also, if you open the post processor with any text editor (Notepad works or the Shopbot Editor) you will see the actual name of the postp near the top following POST_NAME =. This is the name you will see in the pull down list of post processors and it doesn't always match the actual file name.

    Thank you folks for the help. I was putting the PP in the "05-Wrapped" folder inside the PP folder which is what the Aspire help had said to do. I guess it didn't like that as when I put them directly into the PP folder they showed up.
    Thanks again for the input and help.
    Now to go make some wood chips.
