To elaborate on what Bob said, your post processor is really already in
Vector. When you insert a NC object you are really specifying the post to
use. You can also go in and modify the output of any of the NC objects and
rename it for your customized post. Fred has available preconfigured NC
files (posts) for EMC and CNC Pro that I know of in addition to a myriad of
more commercial orient version.
