custom post processor for bobcad.

[Chris Byrne]

Hello all. I did not want to get off topic on the other thread. I just upgraded to v23 of bobcad and their post processor for my machine would not work right. I spoke to tech and they said there were too many changes that needed to be made so they would submit it for a new post to be made. Has anyone done that and how long did it take? It has been 2 weeks and I tried to call twice this week and have not recieved a call back yet. I am just curious if this is a quick thing or a multi month wait.
Maybe I should be like the sales people and call nonstop.

Call everyday and tell them you need it now......
How else are you going to compete with the Chinese?

Custom Postprocessor

You may be able to make the changes yourself. I use V19, but I've heard that in the later versions you can edit your postprocessor to customize it. Here's a link to the instructions.

Chris, shoot me an e-mail address and I will send you two of them for different aplications. They are not perfect but they get the job done. Also if you aren't with them let me know and I can change the post. I didn't like the fact that they use G54 work quardinates. If I forget to cancle out the offset my machine could crash or damage a part. Keep it simple I say.

Jim.
