    Solidcam to Postprocessor Data.

    Hello all,

    How does Solidcam ( Turning) transfer its generated data to the G-code file?

    I have difficulties with the generated G-code and Mach3.
    Solidcam generates a G74 code and that G74 is not supported by Mach3.

    What I would like to see is the raw data that Solidcam produces for the .GPP to
    read and translate into G-code.

    I then can adapt my .GPP file to generate a G83 code.

    Regards,
    Jos

    Hi Jos,

    Edit the Gpp file and add the line between @init_post and endp:

    trace 'all':5

    then output gcode again - it will show all parameters available in the gpp. I usually leave this line in and just comment it out with a ; to produce the gcode again.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you,
    I had the "trace "all:1 " active but the #5 shows a lot more!

    Now I have something to study today.

    Regards,

    Jos
