You must not use the File->Export command, you should use in Path workbench the post process command after having specified in the job which postprocessor to use.

For us, generating a GCODE by using your post process suggestion works only by using only one operation. How to make a GCODE combining multiple operations?

The standard Path WB g-code generator does all operations by default. You will need to provide more details about what version you are using and what steps you are taking.

This is not a problem with the Path WB but rather a problem with your installation or your technique.

Add the details, and perhaps an FCStd file, and someone should be able to help.
