Hey Guys, I have been reading the list for a few months and I was hoping that someone else would ask these questions or something close but no one did. Durn! First I'm new to EMC and CAM in general so forgive me if this is a simple question. I know that a post processor is needed to convert CAD files into G-code. I have been using VariCAD for years to produce plans for my little projects and am very happy with it. And I have run Linux for a few years as well and extremely happy with it and do not want to use any M$ products at all if possible. I'm using vista now because this laptop is still under warranty. I'm sure you understand. And as soon as this warranty period is over I'm loading up Ubuntu or Fedora. What I want to know is: Is there a post processor to convert VariCAD files into something that EMC2 can use and understand? Can STEP files be used "as is"? Or is there a Linux program out there that will do the conversions reliably? Thanks for all your help in advance! LennyWayne
