Title: RhinoCAM post processor
Post by: kdoney on October 08, 2006, 08:00:25 AM

The RhinoCAM post processor always gives me a G43 in the setup code but the control doesn't understand it (Mach3 1.84.001). Is the post wrong?

Can you post a sample code, then it could be tested by others. G43 works fine for me.

It is a Mach2 post processor but I thought it still should work.

I am a total beginner at G code but I think there should be an H before the offset value, eg line should read G43 H0
Take this with a pinch of salt as I said I am a novice when it comes to code.

Hood is correct in his reply,  the G43 should be followed by a H value,  do you always get a zero, try telling rhino you are using tool 1 or above and see if that changes the output.

Hi kdoney,

when i changed from Mach2 to Mach3 i had the same error.

If you edit the g-code with Mach it will work fine again. Only delete the 0 behind G43, that`s all.

I think you can change the Postprocessor settings inside Rhinocam so it will never write the 0 again.
