Hello
I'm trying to get Rhinocam to post to an Hurco VMC running Ultimax3 controller.
I'm having problems where no matter what I try the posted Gcode is using millimeters rather than inches. I've navigated into the postprocessor tabs and selected G70 and also set my units in rhino to inches.
The posted Gcode has:
%
N1G90 Why isn't the G70 appearing here?
N2T3M06
N3Z6.S8000M03
N4G00X180.Y49.
N5M08
N6G01Z-0.3F2032
N7Y25.815F4064
*snip for brevity*
N8013X222.62Y0.Z-9.
N8014X220.
N8015G00Z6.
N8016G0M25
N8017M2
E
I'm at a bit of a loss...any insight is really apprieciated!

Re: Problem with Hurco post processor
The stock post for HurcoVMC30 that is included in RhinoCAM's post library is set to millimeter units. You can edit the post processor from the set post options dialog and change the units to Inches.
To output units code in the posted output file, add [OUTPUT_UNITS_CODE] macro in the post processor under the program start up code in the start/end tab of the post processor.
[SEQ_PRECHAR][SEQNUM][OUTPUT_MODE_CODE][OUTPUT_UNITS_CODE]
Here is a revised copy of the hurco post that output units code and units set to inches. You can download this to the posts folder in RhinoCAM.
If you are running RhinoCAM 2012 on a Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, before editing the post processor make sure the post folder has permissions to edit.
1. Browse to installation folder, select the post folder, right mouse button click and go to Properties.
2. Click on Security tab and select Users under group or user name. Make sure Users have Full control.
3. Click edit and select Users under group or user names and click the check box to allow full control.
4. Click Apply & OK.
By default the Posts folder can be located at
