Import a Post .txt in MasterCamX2

[frad8]

I bougth a CNC that uses a modified "Fanuc 16M/Fanuc 0M".
I want to generate the right NC code for my machine.
I have only a post in "*.txt" file
how can I import it in masterCam (MasterCamX2).

Specification of the machine:
Router 3 axes
fixed table
work area: 1800/3000mm (x,y)
z: 150mm
spindle: 6000 to 30000 rpm
P: 4Kw



folloing the post on notepad (.txt extension):

[Capt Crunch]

your post needs to have the ".pst" extension. a ".txt" extension will do nothing.

[frad8]

is it possible to create it from the .txt file?
with a trial version of Type3 the .txt file is anought.

[Mike Mattera]

The file you have is a post for another cam system. Did you try using the standard mastercam posts before deceiding to reinvent what everyone else has done?

Start with a Mastercam post that works and then make changes to that.

Otherwise Your really making more work for yourself.

Hi Mike

i was not aware of that. just trying to help this fellow half way around the world.

[frad8]

maybe I'm not good enought with Mastercam (for sure), but these are the steps I've followed:

1-Machine def. manager
2-Router
3-Controle file: Generic Fanuc 3X Router.control
4-Post: Generic Fanuc 3X Router.pst
5-Machine configuration: Router X axis + Router Y axis + Router Z axis (on Router head group) since my table is fixed and the head of the spindle is the only parts that moves.

Control Def:
1-Existing Def: Router
2-Post pross: Generic Fanuc 3X Router.pst

And than I have a warning message:
"The machine doesn't have any valid axis combinations defined and can not be used in a tool path group"
I do not see what I can add in the machine definitions. I don't have any other parameters to introduce.
