    The output format of pycam is GCode. There is probably a wide variety of dialects in use by different programs. LinuxCNC works well with pycam's output.
    If you run into problems with your specific CAM software, I would recommend to take a look at its GCode language specification and compare it with the GCode specification of LinuxCNC. Probably you will just need to add a space or a dot somewhere in the GCode file.
    The specific error message of your CAM program will help you spot the problem qickly.
    Surely the authors of that software will also appreciate your feedback regarding its GCode parser.
