cannot export with post_processor

[giedrius9999]

I cannot export with linuxcnc_post, neither with others posts

import linuxcnc_post
linuxcnc_post.export (myObjectName,"/path/to/outputFile.ncc", " ")

like explained in: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Path_scripting

What I'm doing wrong?

Which FreeCAD version do you use? Please post your FreeCAD info. Have you checked the wiki for Path Workbench?

Please don't crosspost all over the forum.

Before the posting here I forgot to mention that with the GUI everything works perfectly. The reason of running the post export through the script is to build post processor (or to change one from existing) for 3D abrasive waterjet milling what practically could be done by two ways, activating/deactivating the abrasive mass flow or controlling the feed rate instead of controlling the Z axis position (when the jet moves slower, it erodes deeper). The F4 microwaterjet machine runs with flexium or beckhoff controllers. So I tried:

>>> import FreeCAD
>>> FreeCAD.open(u"C:/Users/ga/Desktop/test_fc.FCStd")
>>> App.setActiveDocument("test_fc")
>>> App.ActiveDocument=App.getDocument("test_fc")
>>> Gui.ActiveDocument=Gui.getDocument("test_fc")
>>> Gui.activateWorkbench("PathWorkbench")
>>> my_path = Path.Path("G0 X2 Y2 G1 X0 Y2")
>>> myPath = App.ActiveDocument.addObject("Path::Feature","myPathName")
>>> myPath.Path = my_path
>>> myPath
<Path::Feature object>
>>> my_path
Path [ size:2 length:4.8284 ]
>>> linuxcnc_post.export(myPath,"C:\Users\ga\Desktop\G_Code_Exp_2.ncc", "")
Show editor = 1

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Program Files\FreeCAD 0.17\Mod\Path\PathScripts\post\linuxcnc_post.py", line 158, in export
for obj in objectslist:
TypeError: 'App.DocumentObject' object is not iterable

OR
>>> linuxcnc_post.export(my_path,"C:\Users\ga\Desktop\G_Code_Exp_2.ncc", "")
Show editor = 1

Traceback (most recent call last):

ps: pre-processing works well

Thanks for giving the details. The quoted statement means that others have to take over.

[giedrius9999]

I didn't mean that others have to take over...Sorry for do not follow the rules!!! I'll look into the rules more detail

I might have been not clear: I cannot contribute further if the post processors work from the GUI.
