Looking for Post Processor information

[jadaro]

I know that I could, and have been told to contact my vendor for posts, However, I would really like to learn more about the post processor file and how to customize it.

 

If anyone has any information about any:

[*]Books

[*]Tutorials

[*]or references

Please let me know where I can look if you have any of this off hand.

Mastercam has a complete CD with everything you could ever possibly want to know about posts (I think about 800 pages of info). Hate to sound like a broken record, but you can only get this via your dealer.

I have this cd, and as far as i've been told,it's 1600 pdf pages.

You should sit with someone who has the basic knowledge for few hours before you start looking at the cd.

How much $$ does the CD cost?

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

COntact your Dealer for pricing. It's more than a loaf of bread though.

What is this mysterious 'Dealer' figure you people speak of?

 

 

Is it supposed to be the guy who sold / unloaded the machine on us?

 

If it is, then I have a problem. The machine was donated to our school.

 

I will try and get a hold of the PDF documentation though. That would be phenominal if I could get that.

Hello..........

No the "dealer" is not the person who hands you

your cards in a game of poker!

No the "dealer" is not the guy who dumped the

machine into your school!

No the "dealer" is not the guy who sells drugs

nearby the school!

But YES the "dealer" is the guy who sells you

a legit copy of mastercam to your school!

You need to contact your Mastercam reseller. If it is for a school and you do not know who your reseller is then go here Mastercam Educational Reseller List - US ONLY to find your state, then contact them. If you are an industrial customer, then you'll need to go here US Reseller List and if you are in any place other than the US, then go here International Reseller List (man I hate it when people don't even put what state/county they are in ) to the International Page to find your reseller.

 

P.S. The reason that Pricing is not/should not be quoted here is because there is different pricing in different regions of the World due to circumstances beyond Mastercam/CNC SOftware's control. (i.e. taxation rates, tariffs, etc...) so please do not be angry and think we are trying to sidedstep the issue. Just trying to be sesnsitve to the fact that there are differing levels of taxation in different parts of the globe.

Ok, well, there are plenty of one type of dealer BUCKET HEAD has mentioned around here.

 

Someone from mastercamedu.com emailed me about the MP post processor CD. Than goodness for whoever dropped him the line, or he himself if he's the one that read it (This thread).

Jadaro.......

I was being silly!

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Sorry for being short jadaro. I've REALLY been working too much lately. 90 hours last week at my Day Job and another 10 teaching. I need a vacation!

[jadaro]

 

Its all good, as long as the mastercam education division can send the CD to my school.

 

I think I can pretty much figure out what to do with

help from the documentation.

 

I have a pretty good concept of programming, I just don't practice it very often. The POST files are pretty much a combination of short scripts, in some cases, and a configuration file. Lists equivalents, if-then like statements...etc.
