From a quick look, it looks like every Z related command has an extra Z where a comma belongs.

Someone at BobCad clearly didn't do their homework!

[tree]

Yep... Thats pretty much everything I picked out. Im tring to work all this out with them..... Since they refused to take it on a return I have no choice but to stay on them until it works properly.

[bcammack]

Didn't someone involved with this vendor metaphorically shake the dust of this forum from the heels of his sandals and depart, vowing never to support Shopbot products again after we, as a group, treated him about like we treat everyone 'round here? Or am I just getting old and my brain is turning to kelp?

[tree]

That must have been before me.... I just want them to make good on their promises. I have ABSOLUTLELY NO intentions of stirring trouble. In thier camp or this one.

Yer never gonna believe dis..... BobCad called ME and inquired as to how the post processor is working! Spoke with Brian Oliver @ BobCad and I explained the issues at hand. He is going to get with the powers to be @ BobCad including their Tech Support and bring resolve. Yes, BobCad does read this forum! Happy Valentines Day!

[bcammack]

That's good news! Glad to hear it.

[tree]

Bill.... Are you you having any luck?

[bill]

Nope! ... no E-Mail, no progress report. Checked their support site saw nothing new there either. Have not had time to "play" in the shop... maybe this weekend. I did use it to convert an old AutoCad .dwg drawing to a .dxf file. Pretty expensive file conversion software!
