You could try sending an e-mail to this gentleman: "Will Slota" He was helping a client of mine get an EMC lathe post processor going for the latest version of Mastercam & might be able to help you as well. No promises here, but he's a nice guy and might welcome another EMC lathe "tester". Thank

Hi Michael, thanks for the advice. I was able to cherry pick a couple of commits (including your most recent commits relating to this feature) from master and backport them to the v2_3 branch and it worked like a champ. Thanks for getting those into mainline, it's much appreciated... Best Regards,
