Machine Control Operation, no gcode output
I've been trying to set up machine control operation to run a bar puller on a lathe. Everything seems to be set up correctly including Machine ID file but for some reason when generating gcode for this operation only the start and end of file/job comes out as if machine control operation is suppressed.
Is there an option or postprocessor/preprocessor feature that I'm missing?
The only thing I could find is that in the postprocessor the start of job under job_type can be "machine control operation".
I do see toolpath lines when setting up movements under machine control operation but it looks like the operation is not being passed to post processor. When I run simulation I don't see any tool movement however and on the tree the preview box is permanently checked and grayed out, see picture.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Re: Machine Control Operation, no gcode output
the reason you cant check to see it on the screen is because there isn't any tool movement. or better put is no tool path no preview. if you want to see movement you will need to run the machine simulation.
