I see all that, but if I select gcolde to feed my milling machine running
the master version of LinuxCNC, it brings up a list of post-proc's, one
of which is Linuxcnc.  And if sent as a print job to my huge brother
mfc-j6920-dw, it spits out a blank sheet of glossy photo paper.  So I'm
locked out of saving in a file format thats readable by human eyes.

Hi Gene,

I misunderstood 🙂

I don't know what steps you have taken so far to get the g code from Freecad.  
Most CAD systems do not directly produce g code, a CAM system is required to do 
that, in Freecad this is called the path workbench.  Is this where you are 
getting the gcode from?

With the objective of massaging it to work better for you?  Or are you trying 
to produce a dimensioned drawing to aid you in writing gcode from scratch?

Sorry if I'm still not getting it.

Martin
