Hey, does anyone have shopbt7f.cfg or later version (thought I had shopbt7g.cfg) of the post processor for Vector 9? I know ... it is old but that is what I have for now. Computer died and tring to reinstall on a new machine.
thanks,
Chuck
I have a PRT Shopbot, purchased around 2001
Chuck,
The last version of Vector that I used/have is XT or 10. something. Here is the last or latest config file that I have. It should work for yours.

First upload didn't work. Try this one. After downloading it, rename it by removing the .doc extension and leave the .cfg.
Scott
Thanks Scott. I'll try it out later tonight...
Scott,
Do you recall the instructions for installation?
I renamed and copied the file into C:\Vec93 folder. The file shows up in the Insert NC... menu. The program crashes when I try to generate the NC code.
Hmmm....Did you try putting it in the Vec93\cfg folder with all the other configs?
It should be compatable. Attached are two others I found on my old disk. if you want to give them a try. Maybe the 2g one won't work in Vec93.
Scott
In Vector 9 there are no subfolders. All files are loaded in the root folder Vec93. I tried using one of the other non-ShopBot post processors installed and it worked.
I tried one of the files you sent last - same thing. Editor window comes up but crashes when trying to generate the code.
I have a working copy of Vector 9.4 still and it uses the same cfg file as the current Vector version. You should find the file on the install disk. The name is shopbt2g.cfg. Just copy the file into the Vec93 folder. Vector rocks..
Chuck, it's possible that the cfg I attached might have some custom macros, but it still should work. The others were off my old Vec94 disk.
You might try the Vector forum and see if Fred has some answers.
