Studebaker Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Is a “G-Code” Subroutine collection (G-code definition file) built? In the Turbo we used the following files: MILL.G MILL.M MILL.T Do equivalent files exist for the PPMAC or do we have to translate this code from the Turbo script to the PPMAC script? Surely someone else has already had to do this.

If you want to translate Turbo based NC to PowerPMAC I will suggest rewriting to take advantage of new commands introduced in PowerPMAC. Atul

(By translating the Turbo based NC to PPMAC) So I'll have to do work in order to use the PPMAC that I didn't have to do in order to use the Turbo.

You made it sound fairly simple for me to translate the Turbo stuff, so it shouldn't take you guys very long at all. Of course I'll have to customize them for my machine specific things. We had to do that for the Turbo, so that's no big deal.
