    Rigid tapping with Lathe post processor?

    Has anyone got rigid tapping working with a Lathe post processor?
    I have tried but can't seem to get it to post any code for the tapping cycle.
    I have turned on debug and it doesn't even seem to look at the rigid tapping lines so I must be doing something wrong.
    This is V27 but that probably won't matter as I would think earlier versions would work the same.

    Eventually found the problem, the line with the version number (see pic) was wrong. It had version 9.2, changing that to 10.0 cured it skipping the tapping cycle.
    Now all I need to do is fine tune the post so that it outputs the tapping line correctly for the CSMIO/IP-A controller
