    Default Getting Bobcad v21 to save gcode file with .eia extension

    I have bobcad v21 and I need to get it to save gcode files with .eia extension rather than .cnc or .txt for use on Mazak mill. Is there a way to do this?

    J&R Machine,

    On the NC Editor side of V21, go to File/Setup and you can change the extension there.

    You wouldn't happen to know where I could get a post processor for v21 for a Mazatrol m32. My post processor cd is damaged and no longer works and bobcad doesn't support. v21 anymore. I should probably upgrade but v21 just seems so simple compared to newer versions. I altered a fanuc postprocessor and got the Mazak to accept code through the tape port but I still cant get it to store a gcode program. Ive been told it needs the .eia extension in order to do this.

    I think I still have my V21 PP CD somewhere in the stores, I`ll see if I can find it next time I am at that location which I think will be Wednesday (I rotate around 3 locations )

    Regards
