In other words, do I need a custom POST for every software I use, or will one post that works well work for multiple software platforms? Thanks for the help!
It is as said ger21 in a Alphacam and Cabinet vision is advantage that CV use Alphacam for generate NC code. So post have same syntax, but CV has some own rules than must be in a 90 percent other post then for Alphacam.
