    Default How I can bring a new Postprocessor into madCam?

    Hello.

    since 3 weeks I would make parts on a 4-Axis machine. Now I think my problems comes from a postprocessor that not works to my Software (Beamicon2)

    I had search a folder with all my madCam5 PP´s and there I create a new textfile and inserted a PP that works with my Software and Vectric Cad/Cam programs.

    If I will postprocessing my toolpathes in Madcam I cannot select my own PP- It isnt in the List- Why????

    Hello,

    Are you trying to use a post processor from another software in madCAM?
    If so, that isn't possible. You have to use a madCAM post processor for madCAM.

    Hello Joakim,

    Yes I had try this.
    Now I think I use the ISO G-Code 4-Axis MadCAM PP
    I had modify it at it works.

    My simulation looks confusing but in reality it has worked at the first test this night.
