V 29 - pp that works with Vectric desktop pro v 10.5
Hello @edcross
Please note that V29 is an unsupported version. However, we might be able to develop a post-processor for you. First, tell us if this is for a milling machine. If so, does the machine have a automatic tool changer?
It is a router with a spindle 3 hp , does not have a atc . Mach4 v 4300 .
I’ll send you a sample program on Monday, look at the code and if it looks correct, submit a post request (https://bobcad.com/support/post-request/) and we go from there.
Here is the program generated for the toolpath shown in the image below.
