    That's from a future version and I cannot open it on the version I have access to (2014)... I'm guessing you are on your own....

    Hello,

    i have created a SolidWorks File for my CNC Router 3040T and did not know how to create the Maschine Simulation?
    Can anyone help how to create the XML-File?

    Thanks

    I think it's gluck of SolidCAM.
    I have deleted all unnecessary files in my SolidCAM2015 (~270 files *.GPP,*.PRP,*.VMID).

    Hi guys,

    first of all: AMAZING WORK and thanks a lot for doing this. Big thanks to Jailbreaker how's post processor I'm using now.
    I have tested the post processor on a 3 Axis Machine and had some issues with the Spot and Deep drill operations.
    Might be a setting in mach3 that I missed? If it is a stupid question please forgive me. Quite new to this.

    Spot Drilling will output the following code:
    ( -------------------- )
    ( 4-SPOT DRILL - DRILL )
    ( -------------------- )
    G0 X23. Y9.615 Z10. A0.
    G82 Z-2.79 R0.21 P0 F200
    X40.2 Y9.615 Z0.21
    X57.4 Y9.615 Z0.21
    X74.6 Y9.615 Z0.21
    X91.8 Y9.615 Z0.21
    X109. Y9.615 Z0.21
    G80
    ( ---- End of 4-Spot Drill ---- )

    Mach 3 (at least mine) does the first hole as planned but then moves to hole 2 at height 0.21 only, does not spot drill and move on to the next holes.

    Same effect with deep drilling:
    ( ------------------------- )
    ( 5-4.2MM-DEEPDRILL - DRILL )
    ( ------------------------- )
    G0 X23. Y9.615 Z10. A0.
    G83 Z-7.732 R0.21 Q0. P0 F200
    X40.2 Y9.615 Z0.21
    X57.4 Y9.615 Z0.21
    X74.6 Y9.615 Z0.21
    X91.8 Y9.615 Z0.21
    X109. Y9.615 Z0.21
    G80
    ( ---- End of 5-4.2mm-DeepDrill ---- )

    I manually edited the code to add the G83/G82 string after each re-positioning move and it works fine after that.

    Did I do something wrong?

    Thanks !

    probably you are because I use this post processor for some time for both 3 and 4 axis and drilling has no problems at all.... I use all drill cycles (mostly g83) and absolutely no problems, in fact I was working on the post processor with jailbreaker (mainly testing for bugs and errors) and drilling was tested to the limit and all works nice. maybe you should upload your part and cam file so I can take a look.

    for exemple this is a drill code generated from a file of mine, drilling 9 holes using peck drill G83:

    Ok. Thanks for the reply.
    This is very interesting. I thought I have an issue with Mach3 but this points towards a setting in SC.

    I went through all the SC settings and also checked the coordinate system but I can't find a setting that will change it :-(
    I also noticed that your gcode does not have the homing commands at the beginning and end like mine (G53) - which I'm also trying to find a way to get rid off (besides removing it manually afterwards).

    Are you using the latest version of the post processor from github? (https://github.com/teodoryantcheff/SolidCam-Mach3-Post)
    Could you post your version here? Maybe there is a difference in the files.

    Any other advice you can give me?
    Any help is highly appreciated.

    Here is the full gcode I get when I run a G82 operation with the github Mach 4 Axus X and Y post processors:

    O1000 (TOP PLATE_MILLING)

    I have been using "johnMill" postprosessor now roughly for 2 years with my Chinese X6-1500GT-USB. Few items what I have found to be problem for this particular motion card:

    -G54 at start of file or separate operation => Mach3 assumes G54 in use if not changed to other. My motion card gets confused (G54 in use and told to use G54 again) and randomly loose coordinates, depending on motor tuning it is either Z, X or Y. Removed G54 from postfile and now works without problems.
    -Drill operation: at the beginning of this thread I wrote my drill problems. Solution was to un-tick "use cycle" in drill technology page, it is typically selected by default.

    Postprosessor is easy to tweak once you find it and use common sense (removing G53 X/Y is simple, you can add delay after M4 etc).

    My G83 cycle looks now this:

    %
    O1 (LYMANBARREL12.00_MILLING)
    N5 G0 G40 G49 G80 G21 (Initialisation)
    N10 G0 G53 Z0 (Go To Machine Z Origin)
    N15 (Outil n° 10 - Diametre 3.0 D10 H10)
    N20 M9
    N25 T10 M6 D10 H10
    N30 S5000 M4
    N35 G4 P3000
    N40 M8
    N45 (D-drill2)
    N50 G0 X5. Y6.25
    N55 G43 H10 Z35.
    N60 G0 Z7.05 A0.
    N65 G1 Z4.35 F25
    N70 G0 Z7.05 A0.
    N75 G0 Z6.35 A0.
    N80 G1 Z3.65
    ....
    ....

    Update to my post above: using the dev post processor in github has fixed my drilling issues. Now I just need to get rid of the tool change at home position entry which I guess is a setting in SC.

    Thanks guys, awesome work.

    Hello,

    if i understand all right i should use the "PostDevTestMachine" gpp in Solidcam?
    But i can not find that file on github.
    Which one should i now use?

    Thanks
    Matthias

    Hi, thank you very much for this topic!
    I use a machine with 4 axis DSP A18 controller.
    downloaded the postprocessor and the machine file from the theme to the github, installed under the solidCAM 2020.
    Successfully made a set of gears in 4-axis rotary machining.

    Now I’m trying to do 5 axis processing with locked 5 axis, the code generates solid and everything is fine, but after the postprocessing the control program does not work correctly.
    Please tell me what could be the matter?
    the axis of the machine rotates around Y

    this is what cnczone is giving me. No idea what the attachments should be.

    Also, very little of what you said makes sense for a 5 axis machine....
