load specific g-file with button

Hi,

I have write a separate python program that converts a G-code file. The file is loaded, modified and writen to new file. The python programm communicated with linuxcnc using the linuxcnc python module. Now I want to load the using this code: However nothing happens. But when change the file to a non existing I get a error messages that the file does not exist. Hence linuxcnc is opening the file.
How do I load as G-code in Axis ?

thx

I think you are getting confused between linuxcnc and Axis.

Axis assumes it is the only GUI and knows nothing about what another program might try to do.
As far as it is concerned the only file loaded is one that was loaded through Axis.

If you want to load a file directly into Axis, probably best just to use axis-remote
eg
system("axis-remote filename.ngc")

That way, everything is in sync

regards

Thanks

This solved the problem

You can probably run this Python file automatically as a filter file.
