Re: EMC to be used with MasterCam or ProE [asimtec]

Hi group
So should i assume that there is no help available on using EMC with
MasterCam or ProE? I specifically want to know how to generate correct
g-codes from these two programs? what post processor to sellect? to
generate EMC compatilble g-codes? Maybe there might be some very close
postprocessor in MasterCam or ProE that can generate code which can
be run in EMC with less trouble.
Please suggest. I am in need of your help
regards
Asim
