Re: help with gcode files

also is there an easier way to create g code that is compatible with
Kcam and master5 ect.?
BTW, what format s do master5 and Kcam read.because in the free
version of surfcam2d i only have 5 choices for post processors
(mazatrol,dynapath delta 30,Fadal format 1,Haas Vf series and Fanuc
15mb) do either one of these step/dir programs understand these
formats? cause maybe thats the reason why i get large circles to the
left and bottom of the toolpaths in the plot screens after loading
the g code file.
