Good idea, I'll try that.

I had high hopes, though there seemed to be no difference in the post Javascript, but no - same issue. Thought I would post some details here of the machine definition, in case that has something to do with it. 

And the error:

Thanks - I will take a look! I did try other PPs, and produced some .nc files, which were also errors, not G-Code. I did set z axis as the rotational axis. I will post back if I can get this working.

Yes, done that - doesn't work. Then the error is about direction... here's my Mach3 onOpen section:

function onOpen() {
  if (properties.useRadius) {
    maximumCircularSweep = toRad(90); // avoid potential center calculation errors for CNC
  }

  if (properties.fourthAxisAround != "none") {
    var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:true, axis:[(properties.fourthAxisAround == "x") ? -1 : 0, (properties.fourthAxisAround == "y") ? -1 : 0, 0], cyclic:true, preference:0});
    machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis);

    setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
    optimizeMachineAngles2(1); // map tip mode
  }

I also started to look at Youtube videos to learn Javascript so I could program my own, so yes, I did substitute the direct codes, rather than relying on the values in the variables. Same issue. If anyone actually has this working using Mach3 post using the multi axis (not wrap) option, be good to hear!

I have the same problem, and spent a day trying different posts, configurations, etc. and still no luck. I suspect this is not supported yet.
