MecSoft Post processors.

Hi folks;

I will be upgrading to the new release when it comes out of both VisualMill and AlibreCAM sometime about the end of November 2017.

I am hoping to provide a variety of post versions that will allow users to have a starting config very close to what they need for the type of machine they intend to use.

I am also hoping that the CAM module that MecSoft uses will be nearly identical across its software platform. If so, this means the post could be used for any of the MecSoft CAMS.

VisualCAD
RhinoCAM plugin for Rhino CAD
VisualMill plugin for Solidworks
AlibreCAM plugin for Alibre Design
FreeMill

I do not have it in my budget to add the VisualTurn CAM plugin so I won't initially be working on lathe posts. Hopefully as I gain a better familiarity with the post structure I can assist in post edits. Eventually I hope to add the Turn module.

Hi,

we have some problem with postprocessor with RhinoCam.
Helical and spiral interpolation check in linuxCNC error.
Is some solution?
I think that problem with XY plane and letters I,J,K,Q....

Thanks for answer.

I have RhinoCam do you know a post processer that will work with Linux CNC machines. I have A PrintNC 3 axis router. I have been using the Practical CNC post processor I have to add S0 M5 M30 at the end of the code to get it to work but it doesn't work all the time. When it doesn't work, I have to close Linux CNC and restart it then it will work. I don't understand why it dose that.
