Having problems running program on CNC

Post by Dror Lev- Har »

Recently purchased an Omnitech Spectra 510 with the Syntec controller and am upgrading from Cabnetware to Cabnetvision.

I was told by my Cabnetvision rep to create and run a simple program (cut a square, circle, drill two holes) that the machine could perform without errors and then send it to Cabnetvision and they will create a post for my machine.

Only problem is I can't get the program (or any program) to run without errors. I tried running the Wing_Rib file but received a compiler error.

I'm not sure if I am using the correct post in Vcarve, I have "Omnitech Inc Arcs (inch)(*.tap)" selected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to learn Vcarve, CabnetVision, and AutoCAD 2018 at the same time :cry:

I'm not familiar with those machines but it's the controller software itself that is the important part when choosing the post processor. If it's running Syntec software then you should try a Syntec Post Processor.
