Hello,

I recently bought a second hand 3-axis CNC machine, with albatros TPAEDI32 software on it. The software works, but it is really slow. Albatros TPAEDI32 saves files with a .TCN extension, and the basics of a file looks like this:

TPA\ALBATROS\EDICAD\01.00:25:r0w0
::SIDE=1;
::UNm DL=238.99 DH=164.69 DS=20

But when we load more complex dxf files, (over 5000 lines of code), Albatros TPAEDI32 works way to slow.
Is there a way to generate this code with a different program?

Thanks in advance,
(also sorry for my bad english, I am not a native speaker)

Hi
You can use my way.
I wrote a postprocessor for NX and I make my g-codes inside it with format4 post.
It work nice for me.
