Hello,

When using multiple machine setups, I would like to be able to run the BobCad generated G-Code for only one of them (LinuxCNC).
I can generate one file per setup manually but that is not very convenient.

I am thinking about using some O101 in the post-processor to select the proper G-Code section at runtime.
Another option would be to split automatically the original BC G-Code file into per setup files. That could be achieved with a small Python script or C# application.

Anybody already worked on this feature?

Thanks.
Frederic

R Click on the machine set-ups that you don't want to post and click do not post.
Then you can change to the next set-up and just add a different program number to it.

Yes, I use this method. But I would like to automate the process because doing that for many setups each time I modify my project is painful and subject to mistakes.

After few hours of Python coding, LinuxCNC documentation reading, postprocessor tuning ... here is a solution !
See LinuxCNC machine setup selection | F1OAT CNC experiments

Now, I can select easily the G-Code associated to a specific machine setup by only clicking on the associated button of my LInuxCNC touchscreen.
The G-Code file is generated easily and contains the operations for all machine setup in once.
