The GPP post processor converts toolpaths and procedures into a G-Code program required by a specific CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine.
The GPP process consists of the following stages:
Customizing the GPP environment by defining a specific post processor. This takes place in a number of stages;
Running the post processor to create the G-Code file required by a specific CNC machine.
Three of the stages are accessed via the Cimatron EXTERNAL UTILITIES. Run the Cimatron E Control Panel and select the NC tab.
Run the GPP Post Processor by selecting Cimatron E Control Panel from Start / Programs / Cimatron E. Select the NC tab.
The buttons indicated below relate to the GPP post processor.
