    post modification help

    I have a customer with an SCMI router. BC gave them a KerrXlog3 post and it does not seem to generate the correct Gcode. BC is telling me it will take two weeks to review my post request. One of the guys at BC showed me how to modify a post by changing the file extension and opening up in wordpad...I think??? Does anyone know how to do this? I can send a sample of a working file and one that does not work if you need

    What version of BC ? V23 ?

    Zip up the Post, the good code and the bad code and someone will take a look at it for you.

    Don`t usually have to change the Post file extension to open with Notepad etc as far as I know ? ?

    Regards
    Rob

    sorry about that, I am running V21...I know it is easy to change posts in V24.

    "Zip up the Post, the good code and the bad code and someone will take a look at it for you."....you mean at Bobcad? I would like to impress the customer and 2 weeks will not make a good impression. If I can make the changes myself and get this job going for them in the next couple days, I might have a job there.

    Put your posts up in this thread so someone on here can help you out directly. You may get it done today, but not without the files loaded here so we can see what works and what doesn't...

    sample code.

    This is a sample of the bad Gcode, below that is the good Gcode:



    H DX=10 DY=10 DZ=10 -A C=0 T=0 R=1 *IN /"DEF" BX=1 BY=1 BZ=1
    C=0 E=2# S=15000#
    G0 Z=0 T=101
    G0 Z=0.2 E=2#
    G0 X=1.5 Y=2.4 E=2#
    G1 Z=-0.25 V=5.
    C=2
    G3 X=0.9 Y=3. I=0.9 J=2.4 K=-0.25 V=10.
    G1 X=-1.44
    G3 X=-1.5 Y=2.94 I=-1.44 J=2.94
    G1 Y=-2.94
    G3 X=-1.
    G1 Y=-2.94
    G3 X=-1.44 Y=-3. I=-1.44 J=-2.94
    G1 X=1.44
    G3 X=1.5 Y=-2.94 I=1.44 J=-2.94
    G1 Y=2.4
    C=0
    G1 Z=-1. V=5.
    C=2
    G3 X=0.9 Y=3. I=0.9 J=2.4 K=-1. V=10.
    G1 X=-1.44
    G3 X=-1.5 Y=2.94 I=-1.44 J=2.94
    G1 Y=-2.94
    G3 X=-1.44 Y=-3. I=-1.44 J=-2.94
    G1 X=1.44
    G3 X=1.5 Y=-2.94 I=1.44 J=-2.94
    G1 Y=2.4
    C=0
    G0 Z=0.2 E=2#
    N X=0. Y=0.


    This is the good Gcode created in a program called Microvellum:
