generating incorrect g code

Post by hg7427hg »

I'm using sheetcam with mach3 to run my CNC paslma, however sheetcam is generating the wrong g code. example;
for the piercing delay it generates a g code of G04 X0.3 it should be G04 P0.3. The commands to turn the paslma n and off are also incorrect. M50 is generated to turn on the palsma and M51 to turn off . these command should M3 and M5. Any ideas.
thanks

you have got to be using the wrong post processor.(or one that had been edited incorrectly)

sheetcam does not just simply get stuff wrong.

which post processor are you using, have you tried changing it to another?
