MasterCam

Hi

Has anybody conected MasterCam to EMC ?

Or a proposal what type of default machine I should use ?

P.S.
3-Axis Mill

I'm not really sure what your asking... MasterCam can output g code to a file that EMC can load and run. If your wondering which config to use try the Stepconf Wizard to generate a config for your machine if it is a stepper driven machine.

I know G-Code and stepconfig.
I'm running since longer time a EAGLE to EMC configuration to drill my selfmade electronic boards.

Now I have a big mill and want to run CNC via EMC.

I do my mechanical projekts with SolidEdge 18 .
Now I try to generate a "EMC" G Code via Mastercam. That means a postprocessor has to "compile" for my machine.

Mastercam has F.X. a 3 axis Fanuc P-Processor includet. My understanding is that I have to have something for EMC...

Or am I wrong ?

I saw that but I'm using the newest version X4

And as I understand, between 9 and X4 they changed "machines"

now they use for mill file extentions: WMD; control ; instead of the old .txt

Too bad they didn't invite a site where you can just search for things.
Oh wait, they did.. quite a few actually (google, bing, yahoo, etc)

Here's what a google search brings for me:
