How do I take a .txt file with NC code on it and upload it to a Mazak H630 so it will run. Does that file need to be converted into something to do this? If so what program would I need for conversion? I have Mazacam, would that do it?

You can convert it to mazatrol cmt format using MazaCAM and upload it. It will still be an eia program when in control not mazatrol. To do it, open up MazaCAM utilities, goto Make Mazatrol menu>Make Mazatrol From Geopath, then in the File extension box, change it from GTF to NC format and then select the file you want to convert. This will make a .bin file for you to transfer to your machine via CMT. Hope this helps.

OK worked thus far. My only concern is that the program that output the files (FeatureCam), took the design and made 4 files.

thread.txt
threadM01.txt
threadM02.txt
threadM03.txt



I made the assumption then to just cut and the paste the code all into one continous file. Does this sound feasable? Here is the last few lines of thread.txt and the beginning lines of threadM01.txt. The first line of threadM01.txt comes right after the last line of thread.txt Is it possible to look at this and see if it makes sense?

N1670X1.0233Y1.613M6T1

Do you think that was what I was supposed to do with the 4 txt files the program output from the design? I hope this makes sense.

Ok figured it out, nevermind. But I have another question...
