    AlphaCam and APT/CL files.

    Hello everyone!
    Does anyone know how can I generate APT or CL files (not post-processed)? I found a video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfK2ZtRLw_I
    with post-processor for that, but it is not included in my version (2016 R2). Does anyone have a postprocessor for that? Or maybe there is another way?

    My Alphacam distributor said that I need to upgrade my version for almost 4000€ (w/o tax). I can buy a new software for that price, so I think that they just want an easy money...

    APT is something like programming language (Automatically Programmed Tool) . Like a CL data. Alphacam have not this function in a standard (i think). But write this code which translate CL data to APT is not too hard. Im using APT as a communication between my own software to all CAM software.
