Searching for Gsimple - Mach3 post processor

[P.C.S.]

Hi guys,

my name is Philipp, I'm a engineering student from Germany. I built my first CNC portal router and now I'm trying to get my gcodes work.

I use Mach 3 and as CAM software Gsimple. Unfortunately the files I created in Gsimple do not work in Mach, because the cylindrical pockets do not at all look the same compared to the CAM. I found out that Mach seems to expect G2/3 operations in the format "X.. Y.. R..". All post processors delivered with Gsimple create the "X Y I J" format. I do not have the experience to create a own post processor or to costumize on of the existing files.
Is there a post processor for Mach2/3 available too?

Thanks
Phil

Mach can use G2/G3 with IJ just fine. Try changing the IJ mode in Mach3's General Config screen.
