They do not support that version anymore. I am hoping to get some help from forum members that know how to edit this post processor. I think Mach3 users will have a better idea of what changes will be required to allow the Boss6I to make a correct G code for Mach3.

I had some success with the arc problem by going into Mach3 and changing from INC to ABS. That seemed to fix the wandering arcs problem. I have 2 post processor files, Boss6I.cnc and Boss6I.cnx. How do I edit the post processor file to make changes? I can view the .cnx file in Word Pad and it is all normal text. The .cnc file has some text, but mostly different symbols that I can't read. Which file do I need to make the changes to?

Hi,
I have an old version of EzCam 6.1 Cad program that I use to draw geometry, plot cutter paths and post the program with Boss6I post processor to get a G code file. When I load it in Mach3, the program has problems with radius generation and makes G3 CCW moves when it should be a G2 CW move. Does anyone know how to fix the differences so Boss6I will generate a usable G code to run with Mach3? I am not able to load Mach3 post processor into Ezcam, as it is in the wrong format for Ezcam. Is there any version of Mach3 post that would load into Ezcam 6.1?
