    Default Modifying HSMWorks supplied posts in javascript.....

    I have a few older machines which I would like to use with HSMWorks.

    One is a Bostomatic 300 series 3 & 4 axis milling machine which has
    been retrofitted with a controller running OpenCNC.

    I have been attempting to modify the included "bostomatic.cps" post
    processor configuration file, but am not too familiar with Javascript.

    Here is an example of my target code (opening) :

    G01 F1500. G90 G40 H00 D00
    G01 F1500. X0. Y0. Z50.8
    G92 X0. Y0. Z50.8
    G01 F400. X0 Y0 Z50.8
    ( 01 BALL .025 (.635 MM) )
    G90 G40 G00
    T01
    G01 F400. H01 D01
    S25000 M03
    G01 F1500. X-10.661 Y-6.914 Z2. M09
    G04 F3.
    G01 F1000. Z0.57
    X-10.661 Y-6.914 Z0.47 F300.
    X-10.326 Y-7.043 Z0.47 F600.
    X-9.672 Y-7.292 Z0.47
    X-9.428 Y-7.386 Z0.47
    X-8.499 Y-7.742 Z0.47
    X-8.251 Y-7.836 Z0.47

    ...and what HSMWorks is giving me with the supplied "bostomatic.cps" (opening) :

    %
    (Ramp1)
    (T4 D=1 CR=0.5 - ZMIN=-3 - ball end mill)
    N10 G90 G17
    (Ramp1)
    N11 M9
    N12 T4 M6
    N13 G141 S10500 M3
    N14 M8
    N15 G48 R
    N17 G0 X-10.639 Y-0.899
    N18 Z6
    N19 Z0.883
    N20 G1 Z0.1 F314
    N21 X-10.646 Y-0.9 Z0.062
    N22 X-10.668 Y-0.902 Z0.029
    N23 X-10.7 Y-0.904 Z0.008
    N24 X-10.738 Y-0.908 Z0
    N25 G3 X-10.83 Y-1.016 I-10.73 J-1.007
    N26 G1 X-10.825 Y-1.068 F628
    N27 X-10.82 Y-1.135
    N28 X-10.769 Y-1.536 Z-0.001
    N29 X-10.763 Y-1.585
    N30 X-10.692 Y-2.004

    I would like to similarly modify the closing sections of the posts, as well.

    Is there a way to easily remove undesired output from "bostomatic.cps",
    without losing the full functionality of the HSMWorks?

    Also, how would I write the commands to add the initial and closing lines in the final post
    which I always want to be there, without them ever changing?

    I'm looking for a "crash course" where I can modify a few of the supplied HSMWorks posts
    without having to learn a lot of non-essential Javascript code, and perhaps some suggestions
    as to what I could and should be leaving intact or adding to the "user defined properties."

    HSMWorks looks like a great package which integrates well within SolidWorks, and I'm
    sure many others here would like to hear from the experts on this topic without having to wait
    on the phone and being dependent on re-sellers or the folks at HSMWorks....

    Much thanks....
