POSTPROCESSOR BUILDING in NX CAM - Get the code you want by customizing your posts with Post Builder

Learn how to edit postprocessors in NX CAM using the graphical Post Builder user interface:

+Modify the order of code output
+Add a custom command to address special situations
+Use User-Defined Events (UDEs) to allow NC programmers control over posted output
+Add additional file information to posted output that CLS-bound postprocessors cannot access

Thanks for your comment, Siva. Take a look at some of the other Post Processing Tech Tips in the NX CAM Tech Tip playlist – you’ll find some good details for using Post Builder there.

The Machine Builder function in NX is where you construct or modify the machine models, including their kinematics and motion limits. We’ll consider creating a Tech Tip on the Machine Builder function for a future video.

Plz make a video on how to add D value in G41 cutter compensation

[ImmortalDavicc]

Hi,
I need some help with building a postprocessor for Mitsubishi. It is very similar to Fanuc, but when you turn off cutcom with a simple G40 sentence w/o any X, Y movements, it makes the tool move back to the "original" coordinates (that would be w/o cutcom). It causes crashes, gauges.
How can I make the postprocessor post G40-s with a movement?
Thank you in advance!

I m currently using ug nx 10 to make g code
When i m converting the g code to nc format the scaling of 10:1 takes place
Means if i hade to made a pgm to cut a square of 100x 100 machin will only cut sqaure of 10x10

Please support what is to be done

thanks for the video, i want to make a post for a 3 axis machine TNC 430
Do you hava post TNC 430

[anhtuan-zmsx]

thanks you so much. I have a question, how to post code type G41 G42 . thanks you

Which version of NX it is?, Or it works equal  than NX- 8

[PisTTasha]

thanks for the video, what i want to ask is, if i want to make  post that will work with other cam software like hsmworks and mastercam, foe exomple i want to make a post for a 3 axis machine with Sinumerik 828d . can i do it with NX postpro- builder ? 

[guymalpass]

Hi, I cannot get the postprocessor to output feed rates higher than 10000. I can't find anything in the postbuilder to be limiting this, could you please tell me where I should be looking?

Hi i can´t find the tool information file, where it is ?
