What you are actually doing could be accomplished with Notepad. Likely in a CDL file itself, thus making it appear that you are actually editing something outside of the system.
NCPLOT DRAWING FROM NC CODE
Your scripted output from CADKEY is simply storing the actual NC Code with the CADKEY data, In either case, there is no direct link to the original operation data.
NCPLOT DRAWING FROM NC GENERATOR
If the CAM system produces G-Code, on the fly, as the operation is defined, then it is using a Code Generator and not a post-processor. It take the work done in the CAM file and formats the output for a given Machine and Control syntax. NC Code (G-Code) is the last step in the process.Ī post-processor, by definition, comes AFTER the work in the CAM is done. Was the most popular translator for getting CADKEY data into Mastercam. I still remember the days when the CADKEY CDL file translator (pronounced CAD EL in the CAM world) You are confusing a scripted output from a CAD system like CADKEY or AUTOCAD with CAM.Ī series of PRINT statements in a CDL or Auto-lisp script is not CAM. Indicates a profound ignorance of what a CAM system actually is and does. Your question and follow up statement about the difficulty of doing what you want, There is not a CAM system on planet earth that can do what you are asking. But again it only will work with like 97 Cadkey. Is it something you can buy no because it was made by a programmer here where I work. Your wrong, and I really really hate telling someone this because I am still a little new to the programming world but I have a copy to an editor for Cadkey that will.
