Alex, Yes, I understood that from Chris' response, if not before. But unless I am missing something, it still requires using Axis to take advantage of that feature. Don't get me wrong, Axis is a great user interface, but for a host of reasons, does not work for what I am doing. I don't run a native Linux interface at all, I rolled my own which runs natively on Windows.
Thus I was looking for a more generic solution which would be applicable to any user interface, including my own. Regards, Eric The feature is called filter in the manual. Basicly you name your initial g-codes with another extention (say ngd instead of ngc). Then define a FILTER program to be called when you try to open ngd files. So when you open a ngd file, AXIS calls the filter program with the file as a parameter (I think.. .but it's described in the manual). The filter does it's processing, and afterwards feeds the result to stdout, where it reaches AXIS. This way we have some filters already working (like image-to-gcode).. You can define filters for any formats you are apt to write interpreters (be it HPGL, DXF, etc..). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
