I am looking for help advice in the above tital.
I have access to solidworks 2012 and solidcam2012 I have an agrement with a freind to use his and do things for him.
Thats great buT i have now managed to afford to get a machine of my own nothing to flash well more like a dim light really but it runs on mach3 although this is very popular software most of the main software people dont have much knowlage of it. Solidcam uk did not take me seriusly when I asked if there was a post available for it and even laughed at me over the phone.
This did upset me and put me to thinking is there anyone out there that can help me set solidcam up to use mach3 correctly??
Please if there is I'm sure we can worksomthing out that suits us both

I've tryed several Fanuc post, bute my machine makes strange circles ( bad lines in the Gcode) during work.

As far as I know, this forum (like most others in fact) has a time limit on editing posts. I would guess that your posts from a week ago have gone past that time limit. It doesn't seem to say in the FAQ exactly how long you have.

...Or maybe not, I can edit posts going back at least two weeks, I didn't check any older.

Below each post there should be a line with "Reply" , "Reply with Quote" and multiple-quote buttons on the right side. Your own posts should also have an "Edit Post" button here. I have no idea why it might not be there, unless there are some odd settings in place.

Sorry I think we got crossed wires I was meaning how do you edit the post processor not my post on here sorry.
I would like yo know where to find out how to do this or what to read to be able to understand this , does anyone know where to start?

Ahh. Err. Yeah, that never occured to me despite the whole point of the thread being posts! Now I feel stupid...

You might want to start by reading this: Solidcam Gpptool (http://www.scribd.com/doc/35502869/Solidcam-Gpptool) - though I think you should also have a copy in your support docs.
