I have the latest Visual Studio along with Visual Studio 6. I have kept my Visual Studio 6 going because I could never see any real benefit to moving from VB6 to VB.NET as so much functionality was lost, along with using VBA in AutoCAD to develop my own CNC tools. I have recently used this to create a couple CNC programs that we are using at my work to waterjet and then mill a group of coupons for pull testing. Change 5 parameters and run APT and get my 2 programs out. A slightly friendlier user...
Hello Peter, Do you have a compiler / linker setup (ex. Visual Studio xxxx) that can build an executable for your Windows 10? If so, which one?

I have been looking at this for a couple years, and am currently getting a post processor working. I would like to try compiling and updating to work with Windows 10. Any pointers on compiling APT? I would also like to look at the code put out for an arc, some versions suggest that the output data should change the circle normal based on whether the arc is clockwise or counterclockwise. As is I am have to use a brute force approach in the post.
I am available to ask questions. I have not added to the code base for a while, but welcome anyone interested in adding their ideas. Please let me know.
Is there anyone involved with this project?
The problem is not APT, the problem is that you need a postprocessor to do this for you. And you are demanding a lot. APT is for true multiaxis, where the spindle has the ability to be offset off parallel with Z and to then be rotated. That is why the calculations are done the way they are. If you want a better POST then perhaps you should do as I am an work on a POST that meets your needs.
