VCarve and Boxford CNC

[Clive S]

I can't attach the Boxford post processor file they sent me, the file type is not recognised.

I think if you just rename the extension to .txt the forum should see it . The he can name it back again.

Hi all,
Well heres the steps that I used to get it to work (thanks to Bob for the file and all the help in figuring it out.)

• First you need to oped v-carve, selct file/Open application data folder and add in the post processor file attached into the MY_PostP folder Boxford_V10_mm.txt. (This file was changed to .txt to be able to upload -Thanks Clive. Change the extension at the end to .pp when you download it or message me your email for the file if this doesnt work. )
• Then you can save your file in v-carve in the .box format
• Next open up your boxford software and go to File/Import/Import G&M file. Select the .box file
• Pick your tool from your library and then your material.(To add a tool to the library if you don't have the necessary one you change the settings for the current used to administrator, this is found under settings/current user/)
• You should now be able to save it as a gmm file.

Hopefully this helps some one else as Boxfords software is not the most user friendly.
