Not to beat a dead horse but hopefully to add a little more info:

I removed the sequence numbers in the code that works except for the G words forced on every line. Same result.

OK, thanks for testing. Narrows down the problem a bit. Hopefully, I will find the real problem tomorrow. Stay tuned :)

Just a quick update on these issues...

It took a bit longer than I thought but it should work as expected now, i.e. accepts any number and variation of leading and trailing dots in values and doesnt require the "follow-on" (Modal) GCode to be stated on every line, such as G02, G01 etc. Here is the original and unmodified model2.txt file loaded in the updated AE:

One thing to note is that there is no units specified in the file so AE has assumed wrongly that you are using millimetres and so all the probe setting default to millimetres too. To fix this just add a G20 at the end of line 2 like this:

Code: Select all

N0010 G40 G17 G90 G70 G20
Probe settings will now be more appropriate for inch mode:

Appologies if this is hard to read.

I have a couple more changes to make but you should get this update in version 9.3 ASAP.

P.S. thank you for your testing and uploaded files. Really helped me find the problems

Thank you!

I just downloaded v9.3u1 and tried it. Works well for the few files I threw at it. I had created a new post processor in NX, but it's much nicer to use the default one.

Sorry to take so long to post back. I didn't realize how notifications worked by default on the forum and life got in the way.

Great job. Wonderful response time!
