Hello Everyone. A while back we added Lua programming support into the BCC software products. We have not really announced much about it and in the past it was not covered in the Help System. This functionality is going to be helpful for customers who are familiar with computer programming and want to create custom functionality.
We have now updated the Online Help system to include links to not only the Lua help system files (Yes, it has it’s own help) but also the Post Processor Help System.
Lua is a scripting language that can be used both in posting or in the software to write your own custom functions and commands using the available functions the dev team has created.
For example we have a 3rd party software RoboDK who built a plug-in into the BobCAD-CAM software to transfer and launch their software from within our software so you can program toolpaths in our system and then use theirs to set up the rest of what is needed to program robots.
Here in the office we have created some custom CAD tools for creating geometry etc using Lua as well.
