    How to get Gibbs to show output file (ie: final G-Code) in Notepad

    Hey all,

    I recently had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Gibbs. Before the reinstall, I had Gibbs setup so that once you clicked the Process button in the Post Processor window, the G-code would pop up in a Notepad window.

    Since the reinstall, it no longer does this and I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to set this again...

    Anyone know?

    Thanks in advance...

    Notepad

    Goto Plug-in>Posting>Set-up post editor>Pick "use custom Editor"

    Browse on the location of "Notepad.exe" if its not defaulted

    The notepad is usually at C:/windows/system32 or C:/windows
