In the diagram above, the red cross represents the toolpath reference point when Lathe Tool Radius Offset is set True. For left hand cuts, a positive tool radius Z offset is used. The direction of the Z tool radius offset is determined by the cut direction.įor right hand cuts the toolpath Z will be offset by a negative tool radius. The toolpath will be offset by a negative tool radius in the lathe X axis.
If True, an appropriate tool radius offset is applied. If False, the toolpath at the center of the tool radius is output. Each section can contain a mixture of literal text, which is output to the destination gcode file directly, and text macros of the format Lathe - Lathe Tool Radius Offset The post processor definition contains a number of sections. cbpp file extension, stored in the \post sub folder of the system folder. Using the Tools - Reload Post Processors menu option. If post processor files are modified or new ones created outside of CamBam or in another CamBam instance, the post processor list should be refreshed This is a good way of creating variations New post processors can be created via the context menu visible when right clicking the post processor folder.Īlternatively, existing definitions can be copied, pasted then modified. Here, post processor definitions can be created, modified, copied, renamed and deleted. The list of available post processors is accessed from the Post Processor folder of the system tab. This is a multi-line text field containing multiple macro definitions in the format $macro=value. This option is used to pass user defined macros from the drawing to the post processor. Leave this blank to use the default post processor. This option is a drop down list that contains all the custom post processors defined in the system folder. The default definition will be marked with a green arrow.
To set the default post processor, right click the definition in the Post Processors section of the System tab, If no post processor is specified, the default post processor will be used. Look in the Post Processor group of the machining properties. Select the machining folder in the drawing tree and The post processor used for a specific drawing is set under the machining options. These definitions can be created,Ĭopied and modified within the Post Processors section of the System tab. The format of generated gcode files can be controlled using post processor definitions. Documentation for the latest CamBam release is available here.
