    PP for mach3

    First, I want to thank you for takeing the time to help.. When i get my toolpath done i save it in doc's, then close vcarve and go to doc's and send it to the flashdrive. vcarve has a ton of PP listed in the drop down, which one in your opinion should i use ? Here is where i'm kinda not sure about this, is the vcarve post processor confliting with the velox mach3 software ? thanks again..

    Cool Re: PP for mach3

    To make your life easier, copy the post processor that you need from C\ProgramData\Vectric\Aspire\V9.5\PostP to C\ProgramData\Vectric\Aspire\V9.5\My_PostP
    Next time when you start your software, only the post processors that are in My_PostP folder will be visible in the drop down list when generating G-code
    As you are using Mach3 as controller, use relevant Mach2_3_... post processor.

    ok, this is going to sound dumb but not sure how to do this.. I don't see this ( relevant Mach2_3_... post processor. ) in vcarve pro PP list so if you could be awesome and tell me or give me the steps on where to get that PP and how to install it where it needs to be, I'm just learning this and its kinda info overload. I can completely restore a classic mustang and build a house and almost anything but this tech stuff is very slowly sinking in.. you guys are really something knowing how to do all this stuff so easy. thanks

    In my copy of vcarve I use
    Mach2/3 Arcs (mm)(*.txt).
    I’m actually using Mach4
    I also modified that pp and added a delay for spindle rpm startup.
