Wow! Great find. I do think that is a rich enough vocabulary. A nice demonstration of where apt was headed. Maybe we will get some of that power. :-) I hope everyone has the time to at least take a quick look. Not certain if there was anything new in the 'geometrie' pdf but I grabbed it also.On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 1:01 AM, dave <dengvall@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:BP post-processor auxfun clearp cycle end fedrat fini leader lprint machin mode origin partno pprint rapid retrct rotabl seqno spindl stop tmark tool toolno trans Nothing too wild. I assume some of you have looked at the -1999 ansi cl-neutral part of the std which is far more rich in vocabulary. Is there anything wrong with moving toward that as required rather than trying to conform to the iso spec? Here I'm assuming post- processor vocabulary gets added on the front end ( phase I) and simply get passed thru to phase IV which has the rules to deal with it. Of course there is a real difference between the binary output of phase III and the ascii output that the standard is moving toward. Not sure I care as long as I don't have to troubleshoot it. ;-) Clearly in troubleshooting/diagnositics the ascii output will be easier. Brent and other may have strong feelings. Of course, we really won't know much until we get the NASA code and can determine how rich or un-rich vis a vis APT IV it is. Lots to speculate about but not much concrete knowledge. DaveWhile fixing the vocabulary page I researched MAXDPM and found https://cours.etsmtl.ca/sys856/Documents/Notes%20de%20cours/H11/ see post180.pdf a manual for CAM-POST a post-processor generator theres another project an open source version Dave Caroline
