Can I make the job-file remember the last post-processor used?
Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2024 1:42 pm
Hello,
been using sheetcam for a month now, big fan.
I originally started using it to make g-code for the plasma-cutter in our fablab,
but are now also starting to use it to make g-code for the router, it is just much faster.
Both machines use a different post-processor.
Sheetcam does everything I want it to do, except one thing:
if I made a job- file for the router, then go back to the plasma and open a job I did the day before for the plasma,
I would expect sheetcam to generate the correct g-code again.
This is not the case, as sheetcam sticks to the last post-processor I selected, even though I used a different post in that job.
I need to remember to change the post-processor manually each time.
I found an option to put the post in the same folder as the job, but this does not fix the issue.
Had a look around on the forum, but 'post-processor' is too generic a term to give meaningful results.
Is there a way to set up sheetcam to store the post-processor and machine I select in the job-file?
Thank you,
Lieven
