I have a new installation of Solidworks 2016 and have discovered HSM Express 2016. This combo looks like an ideal combination. I'm close but not there yet as I am having trouble locating a machine definition and a suitable post. Does anyone have a machine definition file and post that they can share? I am not using an ATC at the moment so I need the M998 macro for tool changes and end of program, I've found lots of different posts for HSM Express but all seem to assume ATC and also require numeric file names vs alphanumeric names. Before I go nuts trying to implement these changes I thought I'd see if anyone else has already fought these battles

Thanks so much.

Here is mine, works fine for me.

generic 3 axis has worked fine for me in the past - I upgraded to path pilot, but haven't run parts on it yet.

Thanks guys!

What about the machine definition? Any tormach specific setup items?

Hopefully will get to the shop today to try these out. If it matters I am running Path Pilot now. PP seemed to work gteat (except for some passive probe issues) with Sprut but the integrated nature of SW and HSM is compelling. It was tiresome switching back and forth when using Sprut Cam.
