Hi KamilK. In addition to training from a knowledgeable pro (such as your Edgecam reseller), have a look at the Code Wizard forum in the Customer Community Forums. This has a great deal of helpful...

This would be helpful, and it sounds exactly like the Tool Kits / Job Kits that are part of the new Surfcam Workflow software.

Hi Doyle,
Edgecam installations include the Code Wizard, which is a great software tool for users that want to handle post processor modifications. If this is what you're question is about, you...

Sounds very strange. I'd try starting a new file, then use either Insert Component or Insert Part (File menu) and see if that gets something going. If not, perhaps it's related to a problem saving...

Generally speaking, tegardless of the CAM system, a different post processor is required for each unique CNC code format.

It sounds like your friend uses a common code across all the CNC machines, and can therefore use a single post processor.

If you can determine what CNC code will work universally in your CNC...

Hi Matt. You do need a unique tool record in the database. While we recognize that only the insert is changing, the database is looking at the tool as an insert mounted at a specific angle.
