How to postprocess

After all the toolpath and part generation steps are completed, and ALL the processes that are in it are calculated (), you will need to postprocess the toolpath to obtain the programs in a language that your controller can understand.

You have to take into account that you ALWAYS postprocess ALL the processes that are inside a TOOLPATH. You will not be able to postprocess a process independently (only if there is a single process in the toolpath).
