    Cool Very helpful tool for editing postprocessors for SolidCAM

    Hey guys!
    I wrote a VSCode add-on here, very helpful when editing postprocessors for SolidCAM.
    What do you think about it?

    Hello, everyone!
    So, what's new? I implemented in the extension:
    - Syntax highlighting with customization capability
    - Simple Document Formatting functionality
    - Procedure tree panel with navigation and sorting capability and auto-refresh the tree
    - "Go to Definition" functionality for procedures and variables (by F12)
    - "Go to References" functionality for procedures and user variables (by Shift + F12)
    - Auto-complete & auto-indentation code
    - Shown hints when hovering
    - New auto-complete code functionality: just highlight the variable name and type the name of the function - the variable will be wrapped in the function automatically
    - Full compatibility with SolidCAM debugger (If you have access to it)

    Hi Anzory, I need to change a postprocessor for Heidenhain TNC620 but I have no idea how to do it, if I am attaching the postprocessor can you help me or at least explain how to do it?

    It's really quite simple there. Everything you need is described in the Readme file. If you have any questions about anything in particular, don't hesitate to ask.

    Hi. The postprocessor contains not only a .gpp file, but also a .vmid file which contains information about the machine (axes, their mutual dependencies, prime speeds, etc.). So I will need more information about the machine.
    What options are included in the CNC?
    What options are in the machine itself?

    The machine is DMG-CMX with Lehmann table, I am attaching the GPP & VMID files (I am not very practical of the forum, I hope to succeed)

    My main problem is that I have to move the activation of the 5th axis after positioning the others (if I could learn to do it alone it would be fantastic)

    Re: Very helpful tool for editing postprocessors for SolidCAM

    Hello, everyone!
    At this difficult time, I am continuing to work on the GPPL editor. A new release 1.7.0 came out today - I added support for internationalization for Completion. Please try it out, write reviews, criticize.
    If you want your language in Completion, email me to find out how.

    Peace and goodness to all.
