    Default Can't generate correct G-code using Mastercam X8 for MACH3

    Hello,
    I'm a new guy in CNC world, so I think my problem could be solved very easy, but I don't know how. So the problem is that I can't generate g-code (mastercam x8) that will work correctly on MACH3.. Tried use different post processors,but it still not working.

    That's a generated code :

    %
    O0000 (detale skanuota 2)
    (MCX FILE - C:\USERS\THINKPAD\DESKTOP\CNC\DETALE SKANUOTA 2.MCX-8)

    At a quick glance your tool number is 463 but Mach only supports 200 ish tool slots IIRC. What message are u getting when u try to run?

    You must install the MACH3 to mastercam post processor ?
    See this : CAM Post Processors - Newfangled Solutions
    THEN....update the post through the C-hooks ( Short key is ALT+C) with the ( UpdatePost.dll) then, select mill, updating from version...9 or X ( try both, can't remember) and last, Overwrite = default

    Try this, it MUST be done ( install the cam post in MaterCam + updating it )
    Later...
