Hi, Can I use ARCS=CENTER for cut a full circle and ARCS=RADIAL for cut other degree cicle in the same postprocessor?? for have a Post as this example: (BEGIN CUTTING BLOCKS) ; G00 Z-1. (Rapids to Z-1.) ; G01 G41 D01 X-0.5 Y1.4 F20. (Linear move) ; (Cutter comp on) ; G03 X0 Y0.962 R0.5 F25. (Arc into thread) ; G02 J-0.962 Z-1.0625 (Cut threads while lowering Z) ; G03 X0.5 Y1.4 R0.5 (Arc out of thread) ; G01 G40 X0 Y2.4 F20. (Linear move)

Hi, My name is David, I’m from Venezuela, and I am learning on this UPG-2 and EC Edit-2 by myself. It’s not easy and I have very queries. Do you can help me with this? My Question is the follows: - Is It possible activated the parameter “Sub. Peck amt” in Tap Hole? The Drill operation if it have this Parameters.

Unfortunately David, there is not a simple answer for this question, because of how the values are stored in the system. The best thing would be to work with your local CAMworks VAR to get a Post processor that will do what you need.

How do you write a post processor for turn mill?

[@sliccreations]

You build off an existing post processor using EC Edit (installs with the Universal Post Generator).

[@sliccreations]

@Antoine Jamme yes, buy a post from your VAR. Sorry I know that isn't what you are looking for but you probably are a lot further from a complete post than you realize.

How to add tool list like this? I use gettools 2 system at Start of tape, but this way look more compact. Please, give a little hint.

[@moh9545]

Search for the following 2 lines in your lib file: :C: IF SECTIONEXIST(START_OF_TAPE) THEN :C: CALL(START_OF_TAPE) Directly after add the following 2 lines... :C: CALL(OUTPUT_TOOL_LIST_HEADER) :C: GETTOOLS(1,OUTPUT_TOOL_LIST) ------------ Add the following 2 sections in your SRC file: :SECTION=OUTPUT_TOOL_LIST_HEADER :T:(TOOL LIST) :SECTION=OUTPUT_TOOL_LIST :T:(T) --- This has worked for me on the lathe setup.

what is the programming language of camworks post processor ? it is javascript for Fusion CAM, Inventor HSM and HSMWorks

[@goengineer]

CAMWorks and SOLIDWORKS CAM use a proprietary language that has syntax similar to C

i have a machine that only uses positive number on a drilling cicle. and camworks gives negatives number on the drilling cicle

[@sliccreations]

+CAM PRO You will want to contact your VAR and work with them to edit your post processor accordingly

[@bozejcity]

My postprocessor does not generate G83 for peck drilling... it generates all moves with G01 and G00 ? Please help

[@goengineer]

Boris, Post processors are very complicated, a comment section is just not sufficient a place to trouble shoot. My first recommendation is to get back with the person who wrote the post to go over it with them. You might also try your CAMworks VAR for additional trouble shooting help.
