Lathe V7 to V8 Post Processor

I'm in the process of upgrading our Lathe from V7 to V8 and am having problems with the post processor. When I attempt to post a file from the Operations Manager I get a "File not found: LATHE.pst" error message, even though I have specifically selected the Lathe.pst file using the Change Post button in the Post Processor dialog. If I post using NC Utils/Post proc/Run from the main menu the file posts just fine. What am I missing? Is this a configuration problem?

When we first encountered this bug it was discovered that you could not name a Lathe post Lathe.pst. We thought it was related to the product name (e.g. Lathe, Mill).

Actually, it looks like the post can not share the same name as *any* directory in your Mastercam installation.

The simple fix is to rename your post to something else like Lathe1.pst.
