Try this plugin. In Windows Explorer go to:
c:\program files\SheetCam TNG\plugins
Or for 64 bit versions of windows use
c:\program files(x86)\SheetCam TNG\plugins

Create a new folder called 'manyposts' and unzip the contents of the attached file into it. Right click on the lua file and select 'Open with..' and select Notepad or your favourite plain text editor. Near the top of the file are listed the three posts you can use. Set them to the posts you want to use. Note that if a post appears in SheetCam as (edited), don't include the (edited) part of the name.

Save the file and run SheetCam. You should now have P2,P3 and P4 buttons. Clicking on them will run the posts. Note that there are a few limitations with this setup. The first is that it always uses the directory you last used to save your G-code. The second is that the file name is always based on the last job file you saved/loaded. The file name also includes the post name so you know exactly what post was used.
