CAM output

[twickmanHZ4PK]

sorry if this a noob question, but how do i get a toolpath i generated in 360 out to my CNC? i have watched a few tutorials, and don't see that part anywhere. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Most people use a thumb drive or the network. If you can use those options then you can find a good DNC package and send it that way.

Thank you, i guess i should clarify the problem. I cant seem to find a way to save the code to a file? Is there a trick?

You are making this hard work. What are you seeing can you post a screen grab of how far you've got. If you've pressed the post icon on the next dialog pick the post for your machine then click ok you should then get a save dialog, just pick a location to save to and enter a name.

Post Dialog pick your control under Post Configuration and pick an output folder

Save Dialog, pick folder and file name and save..

Ill post a screen grab in the am. It asks me to pick a folder to save it to, but greys out all the possible folders.

here is a screen shot of the file i was able to save, as you can see it is failing to write. sorry, im not very smart.

Seems that the ISEL is a Metric Only post. You can design in any unit, but you'll need to change the Unit in the Post Dialog box from 'Document Unit' to 'Millimeter'.

Hmmm.... Im running a techno isel 3 axis router. Is there a more appropriate post processor?

Does the machine support Inch\mm with G20\21. modifying the post should be easy enough. Have you got an example g code file that works you can upload, if the file extensions blocked by the site just change it to txt.

The file didn't seem to attach, I don't know if you replied by email, if you did attachments don't seem to work with email replies. As for where to store a custom post, are you using a mac or a PC?

Hello
I have a similar problem.
When generating code, I get an error code page UTF -8 .

[twickmanHZ4PK]

I am using a mac, i'll try to attach that file here. 

i found a techno post processor but when i try to upload it to my cloud posts, it fails. 

[HughesTooling]

I've done a post here that explains setting up cloud libraries and how and where to save on A360.

Mark.

[twickmanHZ4PK]
