Introduction

This guide provides the basis for understanding how the Legacy Post-Process Generator (PPG) operates and how you can use it to customize your posted g-code files.  It uses a simple part file example with three toolpath operations. Each toolpath is illustrated, examined and the resulting G-Code is color coded to the portion of the PPG that controls it.  Each section of the PPG is then explained and examined for the part file example and its resulting G-Code.

hint-iconNOTE: This guide includes sample CAM files, toolpath operations, a customized Haas post definition file and the sample G-Code file.  These source files are included in your CAMJam download archive.
