Okay it is possible to pre-process the g-code manually like this:
1) Launch an instance of Monokrom (sim)
2) Navigate to the Monokrom Simulation Config Directory. Open terminal there and set environment variables
3) Call preprocessor in terminal with the input.ngc processed by the SheetCam PlasmaC Post
The output is the processed.ngc. The first few lines are below:
This is why I get the error in input.ngc line 1: Unknown word where unary operation could be. The first line contains "Filter name: from-ini func: <function from_ini at 0x7ff0a03176a0>".
