    sheetcam gcode

    I am new to sheet cam but I do understand mastercam. When we pull a file from coral to sheetcam and post process the file it makes a bad gcode. It creates a g23 and g25 instead of mo3 and mo5. It also creates Go3 p500 for a pause that Mach 3 doesn't like. Any ideas?

    You have to use a POST in SheetCAM written for MACH. SheetCAM comes with over a hundred POST selections, Y0u use OPTIONS/MACHINE/POST PROCESSOR to select BEFORE you POST with the "P" button.
