Nativecam running on 2.9.4 almost so close was created by Doug Crews
Hello everyone,I managed to get Nativecam loaded and running on the 2.9.4 iso, using the
github.com/freemoore/NativeCAM
download, and Giovanni’s instruction pdf plus all the corrections along the way. I ran a huge victory lap when I saw the Nativecam Tab in Axis not blank but how it supposed to look! But…..as usual the fight is not over and my troubleshooting skills are limited by my total lack of experience with Nativcam as I have never used it before.The problem is the Nativecam project is not dynamically updating in the Axis preview ,tab and if I try exporting the project as gcode the .ngc file is mostly composed of stuff that looks like this:I’ve been asking the AI questions about how Nativecam is supposed to work and I think its been mostly correct but is often describing how it “used to work” and not necessarily how it works now. My gut tells me the problem has something to do with a symbolic link or a missing ncam.ngc file. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!-Doug

NativeCam has always output gcode in parametric form because it uses subroutines for it's operations (ie the output does not look like what you would expect on a regular 'CAM'). SO there may actually be nothing wrong with that output (except of course that it would need to be formatted properly)
