    Looking for training book on Mastercam post processors

    I'm interested in learning how to edit and create post processors for Mastercam, however, I would like to approach this endeavor at my own pace. I know that from time to time, different companies offer classes on this topic and while I'm not opposed to taking one of these classes I would like to find a good training guide on this subject, does one exist anywhere?

    Ask your reseller to send you a copy of the Mastercam Post Reference document (Basic Posts Class). It's about a 47MB file, so you'll need to have an FTP available, or have them send it to you on CD or something...

    Check with the "wiz" over there. He is a huge help in this matter. He's got the down low low down download you need.

    Thanks Tim,

    That's me on PM too. I replied to cadcamwiz and he shoudl be sending me a .pdf on Basic Post Building, I'm also checking with our reseller to see if I can get a copy of the Mastercam Post Reference document from the Baisc Posts class.....sounds like it may be the same thing that cadcamwiz is sending but we'll see.

    Yeah, I just figured I'd let anyone else reading this that there was a lot of help regarding this offered over there just in case someone else needs it.

    Oh, and just a general rule: Make your Reseller work for their money!!!

    :cheers:

    Any idea if it is possible to download this file?

    Sure it can be downloaded, if you can find a MC reseller who has it on their server with a link to download it from... My local reseller didn't so all they could do was try to e-mail it, which didn't work due to the size of the file. They wound up burning it to a CD and mailing it to me.

    Yeah. You will need to host it off site and then just put a link here.

    Re: Looking for training book on Mastercam post processors

    Helloo,

    A little bit old topic, but is there still a copy of MP_documentation moving around?
    I would like to learn about post processors and edit them as i wish, i have a little programming backround, so well see, will it be easy or not...

    Maybe can someone send me a link to dropbox or something?

    Thanks
