Hi M.I.H.A

I have the same problem in MC .

Despite many other CAM packages including SurfCAM or PRO/E which I worked with them before, MC has its own way of creating post processor files.One has to work with mastercam's own post processor.

It's something like programming in BASIC and of course with trial and error.So the only way to generate a good post is to programming and testing, testing and programming.Besides documentations installed by MC about modifying posts are poor. So don't forget to buy MP Post Processor Reference Guide.

And for the best result you have to work with NCI file.There is no APT in MC.There are some translators written by third party for translating APT2NCI and vice versa, maybe it helps.And remember they are not free or distributed by MC package.

Learn lot, Have Fun and Enjoy
