Request: Mach2 post for Feature CAM

[Dr Honda]

Hi All,

I've been playing with feature cam, and it seems like none of the post processors work completely with Mach2. The one I'm using now is very close... but I still have to clean up the G-code. Feature CAM inserts a few "M" codes that Mach doesn't know. Once I figured out what it couldn't translate... It only takes a few minutes to clean up the tool changes by telling the Z to go up a inch, and add an M6 for Mach2's tool change.

TIA


Tony

There are FeatureCAM posts for both mills and lathes in the files section of the Mach2 Yahoo group. Look under "posts"

Here is a post file I modified and have used with mach2 when I was a student at Rutgers University. I loved featurecam, too bad it is sooo expensive. Enjoy!!

Ooops, the file.

ok, one more time, change the extension of the file to .cnc before you put it into the featurecam directory.

Thanks...

I'll give it a try tomorrow.

TommyB...

Thanks... it worked perfect!! FYI... I got the file from the yahoo site, and it still had some flaws. Maybe it just wasn’t compatible with my version.
