Hi everyone,
So I can finally draw my parts in DFX file format. I can import them into DCAD and I can create the machining contours (I am just making a series of 0.14 inch holes in a rectangular piece of aluminum.... I am building a tooling plate).
I run the machining simulation in DCAD and it looks good. That is to say, the simulation does what I want my mill to do.
Next, I go to "post process" to create my g-code. I am using Mach3 to run my little Taig mill so I chose "LM1-MACH3.ppr" and I left the "file extension" as "pun". Following that, I load that g-code file into Mach3.
This is where the problem is: Mach3 can not read the g-code. Mach3 says:"Unknown word Starting with rline1".
So, how do I generate G-code that Mach3 can understand? Thanks-Josh
