We have a Charmilles 310 machine and have used the old Esprit/W for years and years. Yes, we do have the new version, but I don't like the way it works. The ONLY issue I wish would work would be for the program post to make a G00 move to insure the start point matches the program. As it stands, we have to manually enter the coordinates and once in a while (at the worst moment) numbers get transposed or just entered incorrectly.
Is it so hard to edit the asc file or is that something that needs the pst file changed and recompiled?
Here is an example. The first hole is X 2.93 Y0.0
%
N5 G90
N10 G92 G70 X2.93 Y0.0
N15 G60
N25 M20
N30(E501 Rough Cut 1.25")
N35 E501 H1.5
N40 G01 X3.1175
N45 G42 D0
etc...
would work well if it would output as in (manually added) N11 so the first move is to the first hole.

I know we'll have to use the new version at some point but it hasn't wowed me yet. I uploaded the post file to http://www.compuspider.com/uploads/fil2ax.asc if anyone can take a look. Thanks in advance.
