bobcad v24 users help please

I have just purchased a probotix meteor and am using bobcad v24.

I am having issues with posting, saving file and using it in the EMC2 software that comes with the probitix.

any tips?

Well first of all

1. which post processor do I need, I have been using the EMC2 Rev1
2. what is the file extension that needs to be used, I notice in the Bobcad FAQ it uses .ncg for EMC, and when opening the files in EMC2 it asks for .ngc, I have had better luck saving them as .NC (in caps) but the files are hit and miss as far as gettin them to open. most of the time EMC2 errors on "M" codes that are unrecognizable.

everything works fine as far as the robotix machine, and the EMC 2 i have ran the sample file with the marker and the router and it works fine.

I need your jedi skills man!

Just 2d stuff, so you are saying to use the Fanuc post that comes with the Bobcad V24?

do you have the link to Sheetcam,. is it free?

Will sheet cam allow you to draw, or do you import the dxf from a CAD program and post from sheet cam?,..

Hi
I did Use V24 and now V25 i have an EMC2 Metric Postprocessor which the Bobcad guys did for me.
I think for a windows program it works ok. But also must say that the guys have been verry helpful with all the issues i had.
And living in and different timezone (GMT+1 ) helps with the sales guys.
so if you did buy it the help you with the postprocessor. I will for instance open an call today because when i try on the lathe an "negative ball" shape
the code looks ok but Linuxcnc doesnt like it - so their bussiness to fix it.
