 Package: freecad: 
 Version: 0.20.2+dfsg1-4 
  
 This problem also exist in version 1.0.2+dfsg-1 in testing. 
  
 When trying to output G-code from the FreeCAD CAM module using the fanuc 
 postprocessor, I get a exception backtrace because the postprocessor try 
 to handle thread taps, while the surrounding code in FreeCAD do not seem 
 to support tool types. 
  
 From the internal console: 
  
 20:24:40  Running the Python command 'CAM_Post' failed: 
 Traceback (most recent call last): 
   File "/usr/share/freecad/Mod/CAM/Path/Post/Command.py", line 188, in

     post_data = postprocessor.export() 
   File "/usr/share/freecad/Mod/CAM/Path/Post/Processor.py", line 321, in

 tProcessorArgs)

     if pathobj.Tool.ToolType == "Tap": 
  
 The problem need either horizontal or vertical feed rate or spindle 
 speed to trigger.  The error above showed up when creating a simple 
 cylinder, creating a CAM job with fanuc as the post processor, adding a 
 simple facing operation on the top end of the cylinder, and then setting 
 feed rates to 150 mm/min and spindle speed to 1000. 
  
 I see the same problem discussed in 
 , and 
 modification in the upstream code which seem related in 
  
 and the following commit for that file. 
  
 I am not aware of any sensible workaround for this yet, and believe it 
 make FreeCAD CAM kind of useless for use with Fanuc CNC controllers.
