    Can you put more information in File Header?

    When I create a file for Mach 3 from Aspire, it automatically makes a file header stating "( File Created by VCarve Pro)".

    Is there a way to put more information in the file like?:
    cutting tool
    feed rate
    etc.

    Hi Don,

    The default Mach3 postp saves the following information into the header of toolpath files,

    begin HEADER

    "( [TP_FILENAME] )"
    "( File created: [DATE] - [TIME])"
    "( for Mach2/3 from Vectric )"
    "( Material Size)"
    "( X= [XLENGTH], Y= [YLENGTH], Z= [ZLENGTH])"
    "([FILE_NOTES])"
    "(Toolpaths used in this file: )"
    "([TOOLPATHS_OUTPUT])"
    "(Tools used in this file: )"
    "([TOOLS_USED])"
    "[N]G00G20G17G90G40G49G80"
    "[N]G70G91.1"
    "[N]T[T]M06"
    "[N] ([TOOLNAME])"
    "[N]G00G43[ZH]H[T]"
    "[N][S]M03"
    "[N](Toolpath:- [TOOLPATH_NAME])"
    "[N]([TOOLPATH_NOTES])"
    "[N]G94"
    "[N][XH][YH][F]"

    Additional information can be added and this is explained in the postprocessor manual - See > Postprocessor Guide
