    Solidcam 2014 tool table setup and gcode template

    Hi,

    I use solidcam 2014 and have a few questions. Normaly I use 3x_general machine and my own Woodrouter.tab tool library. On the machine Mach3 with XHC-card.


    1:
    Altough I set my tooltable as standard for each paart the table is emty and I have to import the tools. Is there a way to auto set my woodrouter.tab as part tooltable?



    2:
    The other is that I each time had to do some coding in the generated G code. I like to change this in the Gcode template.


    Code:
    %
    O1000 (16-10-116)
    N100 (COMPENSATION-WEAR)
    N102 (REV-0.70)
    N104 (DEC-20-2016-11:32:03AM)
    
    
    
    
    N106 (TOOL 1 - DIA 4.2)
    
    
    
    
    N1 G90 G17 G40 G80 G00 (place here Z25 so tool is always at a safe height at start of program)
    N108 M06 T1 ()
    
    
    
    
    ***part program***
    
    
    
    
    N624 G00 Z25. 
    N626 M05 
    N628 G00 G28 G91 Z0 (Delete these lines with G28 or only have one G28 without coordinates)
    N630 G00 G28 G91 X-15.0 Y0.  (Delete these lines with G28 or only have one G28 without coordinates) 
    N632 G90 
    N634 M06 T1 
    N636 M30 
    %


    Who can help me with this?

    I import the tools every time as well.

    The rest you will need to edit the post processor. There is a free mach3 one here that might be a better base to start from: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/solidc...55556-cnc.html

    If you search youtube for "solidcam post processor" there is some training videos on how to modify it for your machine.
