Which CNC Mill Accepts G-Code which is most similar to LinuxCNC? was created by jferguson
I'm confronted with a post-processor which outputs drill-cycles which do not drill the first hole in the array. All the other ones but not the first.
This may not be anyone's fault but mine. I modified a Fanuc NC- Gpost options file to work with LinuxCNC and for the most part it does, but I'm getting tired of manually editing the g-code to get the first hole.
I had understood that the original EMC2 G-Code was evolved in accordance with a national standard. Is there any chance that any modern machine controller uses the same basic system?
If this question isn't clear, let me know and I'll try to do better.

Tormach is LinuCNC, is that on the list?

I think I found the problem. PTC had published a config file for Gpost which was intended for Fanuc 3-Axis. Buried in it was a toggle which allowed/ or didn't allow reuse of a set of coordinates. Apparently this is intended to deal with coordinates which are stacked in a register such that if you access the register, the next set is dispensed and is gone.
My situation required that a set could be used again in succession.
changing my config to allow this fixed the problem.
I'll check to see if Tormach is supported.
and thanks for the idea.
