    what kind of edits are you making in the code to make wincnc work? whats the trick, i'm using bobcad, and i cant get anything to work, i either get a syntax error, or a multiple commands error... i'm wondering now, if the spaces between the x and y cord's is causing the problem...
    example...
    n1321 x10.5 y44.75
    vs
    n1321x10.5y44.75

    ideas, anything...
    Grizzly X3, CNC Fusion Ballscrew kit, 3 500oz-in bipolar steppers, 3 203v Gecko's, Linear power supply from Hubbard CNC, Mach 3, BOBcad Pro Art V22, Rhino.

    spaces shouldn't matter.. syntax is key with any controller.. once you know the correct syntax, then there should be no problem. If you purchased bobcad, and can give them a working program from the winCNC controller, then they should have no problem creating a post processor for it.

    -------------
    edit:

    actually, I check bobcad's site, they have a postprocessor for wincnc..
