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?
