Post-processing now sees a CAMPlete interface, generic Haas UMC 750, generic Haas Mill/Turn, factory-tested Datron and generic Siemens turning. Improvements for toolpath generation include morphed spiral, rest machining for turning, stay-down linking and even step downs in adaptive clearing, engrave strategy, semi-automatic chamfering and automatic holder detection for adaptive clearing. Does your manually installed tool need to be tool 100? If so, further changes will be needed to suppress the error.Autodesk says that HSMWorks’ 3+2 and 5-axis capability brings CAD and CAM together for a truly integrated design-to-manufacturing solution inside SOLIDWORKS. Also notably in the stock post, tool numbers higher than 99 will generate an error.

It ends with homing, coolant off, and an M30. Maybe this is included with the tool change macro. Strangely the stock Meldas post did not put any M5s in my test code and you may want to add them.

It can be applied to any tool, but if two operations share the tool, it will not home and pause in between unless a manual NC force tool change is added. tool.manualToolChange is set to TRUE when 'manual tool change' is checked in the library. This is easy to do using a conditional like:

My understanding of what you want to do is add an M0 after picking an empty pocket, run code as normal, and add an M0 after the code runs.

If you add 'Force tool change' between them, it will home the Z axis, turn off the coolant, and add an optional stop. Normally, HSMWorks will continue right on with the 2nd toolpath after the first is done- it won't turn off the spindle or coolant, and it won't home Z. Let's say you have two operations that use the same tool. The Manual NC 'Force tool change' does have an effect in the Meldas stock post, but it's not what you want.
