Gentlemen, I am in need of some basics. I have a object designed in BobCad V26 that supposedly should just post the usable G-Code for our Fagor 8055M on our 3 Axis CNC. I'm no rookie when it comes to design or design programs; however, I am unfamiliar with G-Codes as I usually just have to pass off the drawings with dimensions on them. The posted G-Code from the object (posted below) gives me an error, saying that there is a conflict on several lines. Even after looking up the code explanations, I'm still none the wiser. I hope that through your collective knowledge, that some of you might be able to assist. I'm an ME, but never really dealt with the machining side of the job until now. Any points in the right direction on this code or areas to help better understand G-Codes as a whole so that I may troubleshoot my own issues will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

The code is for a simple dog bone tension test specimen. Set up is a Summit 3 Axis CNC Mill with a Fagor 8055M panel. I used BobCad V26 for the drawing and code posting.

The most likely issue is your post-processor. They're highly configurable in BobCAD, and a setting change can make a big difference in code output. I suggest posting this in the BobCAD sub-forum, along with the (zipped) .bbcd file. You're much more likely to get the help you need there.

Thanks. I will try that and see if I can get some help. I tried to use their Predator Post Processor with no real understanding of it.
