Can I Force an X, y instead of CG command

[bcondon]

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.

Thanks Scott!

That was exactly what I was looking for... now onto excel to produce the tool paths
