AXIS can automatically execute a filter program when loading a machinable file. You can also use the NML messages for issuing "MDI" commands to feed your program in line-by-line. (I just verified that, at least in the development version of emc 2, this doesn't kill blending altogether, though it's likely that blending degrades more quickly when fed by MDI than by file)
Personally, I lean towards using filters because then I benefit from the preview plot. Using tcl as a gcode preprocessor: http://axis.unpy.net/01167315565 To make ".gcl" files openable in axis, put this in your inifile: PROGRAM_EXTENSION .gcl TCL-preprocessed gcode gcl = /path/to/gcode.tcl and make gcode.tcl executable Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
