Autodesk PostProcessor for RRF
-
Hi, I've made an Autodesk postprocessor (powermill, featurecam, artcam) that works with RRF. It's still a work in progress but so far it works.
The only thing I was not able to remove is the G43H1 at the beginning, I'm not sure if it's post related or cam related...
Canned cycles are dissable.
Arcs works.I don't have a Duet controlled CNC yet, i'm putting my printer in CNC mode, so if someone can try it, let me know how it works.
Change .txt extension to .pmoptz

G43H1 is calling up a tool height offset using the H1 variable. Maybe the Duet will ignore it?

The Duet will generate an error message, but otherwise ignore it.

@timcurtis67 Hi, I'm manually removing the G43H1, I never paid much attention to it since I use it all the time on the machine center and when I occasioanlly don't need it, I edit the file. But now that I actually want to eliminate it I don't know how...

If you aren't using tool changes in your programs you may be able to eliminate the call function in the post file. I have done it with Mastercam posts but haven't looked into the Autodesk post Porcessor. I will look into it today.
Do you have the ability to post with a no tool option?

@timcurtis67 Hi, I was reading the help and apparently you can't dissable tool changes in powermill, it will allways write them with the first trajectory of a NC program. But I'm sure there must be a way to dissable them in the post, it's just my knowledge is limited, I simply edit a fanuc post and dissable eveithing I found that RRF won't interpret. You can write scripts, but I know nothing of programming.
I don't have the ability to post without a tool in powermill, but I don't know if you can in featurecam or in artcam.
