APT FORMAT

APT FORMAT

(OP)
Is there a way to get a file written in apt and use nx9, or nx8 to convert it in G codes.
please help.

RE: APT FORMAT

If the file is traditional language driven APT, with geometry definition (L1=LINE...) and motion commands (GOLFT...), then no, you need an APT system.

If it is a CLS format, (GOTO/x,y,z,i,j,k...) then yes, you can import this as a CLS file in to NX CAM, and postprocess it using NX/Post.
