    Default Can I Force an X, y instead of CG command

    I am designing a plate for the church using a side view. I plan to then convert those coordinates from NC X,Y -> X,Z and use the CC command to cut the circular plate so that I do not need a spindle to cut a plate.

    The only problem is that the Shopbot code produces CG commands ... Is there a way to force it to produce m3, x,y,z instead of CG commands?

    Bob,

    If I read this right, you can select the Post Processor for "ShopBot-Inch" instead of "ShopBot-Arc-Inch" and it will force M3 commands.

    Let us know if that helps or not.
