I'm running the old Servo G-Code and noticed that motions are pretty jumpy at times when the machine is running. I saw that in the Cut File section of the program that it said "continuous" isn't on. I'm guessing that means continous motion. How do I select that option?

Ok figured it out. I was in the step menu in File >>> Run File

When I exited out of Step it let me select the option GO. For some reason go doesn't highlight until I go into Step-exit Step- Then GO is an active option. But it's not initially for some reason.

I know this is an old post but it kinda relevant to my question. What post processors can I use with the gcode program? I thought you could use Fanuc
but thats not working for me.
Thanks

what software are you processing through? techno has a post for mastercam, there are probably some others as well.

what problem are you having, arcs? if so you need to go into your pot and set it so it genertes ijk codes for arcs.

Sorry guys I didnt plan to leave anybody hanging but had to go out of town for a couple of days. I swapped over from Technos "mastercam interface"
to their "gcode interface". I had to do this so I could run some other software I purchased. I can reconfigure the isa board to run the mc interface for a couple of hours then change it back. Business has been so bad for so long that my computers and software are now 10 years behind.
Whats even worse is I dont see anything changing in the coming new year.
Does anyone have a mc v6 or v7 post processor for the techno dos based gcode interface? thanks again my friends,
Scott

The g codes that techno runs have not changed, the biggest problem I have seen is guys not having the arc setting correct, or not having their comments properly delineated to keep the techno interface from reading or malfunctioning. a fanuc post should work, so should the techno from that version. the posts are not all backward compatible. I think all comments must be inside () marks to be ignored by the techno interface.

I assume you are running he g-code interface, and not the one that ran the nci files.

Montabelli you are correct as to what I am trying to accomplish. I had forgotten about the notes and I think that is also correct. We dont use the router much at all anymore and my memory is not what it used to be.
Thank you for your help.
