Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CADAM Capsturn/Capsmill

Just about every controller out there has its own variations on G Code. The
current closest thing to "Standard" is the FANUC flavor of G Code. What you
need to do with a CAD/CAM program that doesn't have your controller listed
is try one that is listed and see if your controller chokes on it and where.
If it runs the Code great if not then try a different controller or modify
the "Post" to change the Code that didn't work.
Being able to modify the "Post" is an important feature to have in a CAD/CAM
program. Even if it has a Post for your controller, it is nice to be able to
add personal touches.
