Post Processor editing

[CNC_savant]

I'am trying to learn how to edit post processors ,and I was hoping sombody
could help me get me started in the right direction .

I find it easier to edit an nc program when the sequence #'s are only on the retract lines .I also find it more comfortable while using commands like G0T0 .

I would also like to move the (M3 S000) line after positioning the spindle .


T1 M6;
G0 G98 G54 X Y ;
G43 Z4. H1 M08;
M3 S3500
;
;
N100 G0 Z4. ;
X Y;
G01 Z Feed plane;

OR
N100
G0 Z4. ;

What CAM software do you use?
I use UG Postbuilder and these changes you are speaking of
are quite simple through this program

The post processor makes the post. Your cam program will contain the P.processor. To edit the post you can use note pad... Or a program like NCPlot...

Line#'s can be added in the P.processor, also you can order the stuff like spendal.. Although I would start my cutter before makeing a move just in case of an error.


Good luck!!!
