Files in the /old directory are kept just for reference. Is a completely new implementation of the post, that uses SolidCam's new kinematics (pos_to_machine=Y). Usage : Do set your CoordSyses so that the CS origin is on the pivot point (axis of rotation) and X/Y is the axis around which the part revolves PostDevTestMachine I recall having issues with 360 wrap around so check by cutting air before destroying an important part. Config > Toolpath - Check Y-axis for axis of rotation and enable A-rotations.Config > General Config - tick A-axis is angular, set IJ mode to incremental, uncheck all in Rotational, possibly also check G04 dwell in ms.Usage in SolidCam - Select Mach3_4X_Y for CNC-Machine.You need to restart SolidWorks for it to pick up the new files. vmid files in C:\Users\Public\Documents\SolidCAM\SolidCAMXXXX\Gpptool. As of now it's safe but can be made faster w/o retracts. 4x indexial use may need some more work to avoid unnecessary retracts to clearance.
Drill cycles - G81 (drill), G82 (drill+dwell), G83 (peck drilling), Canned cycles: G85 (boring), G86 (bore and stop), G89 (in, dwell, out).4 axis - working / for both repositioning moves and 4x toolpaths.Here's a video of a part being cut with code generated by this post : Special thanks to Bruno Silva - test part modelling and code testing. Use this post at your own risk! Always check the produced code before running it on a real machine! SolidCam-Mach3-Post A SolidCam postprocessor for Mach3, supporting 4x and 5x operations
