Nice to have the file conversion integrated in AXIS.
No need to change the axis name then.
A typical line
G1 X53.6223 Y37.9513 E49.6224 F2300
will be changed to
G1 X53.6223 Y37.9513 A49.6224 F2300
replace first "space E digit" with " space A digit" on all lines
This is my filter section in .ini
[FILTER]
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .png,.gif,.jpg Greyscale Depth Image
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .py Python Script
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .gcode Extruder gcode
png = image-to-gcode
gif = image-to-gcode
jpg = image-to-gcode
py = python
gcode = E2A
This is E2A that was run from outside of AXIS before
#!/bin/bash
sed -e 's/\( E\)\([0-9]*\)/ A\2/' $1
Guru comments on this?
Thanks for the help!

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
Nope - It's vRanger. Get your free trial download today.
