Vectric — Supercharge your CNC

Post P Dialog

A post-processor converts your toolpaths into the exact G-code (or other format) that your particular machine understands. This dialog manages the available post-processors and lets you choose the one to use.


Choosing a Post-Processor

The list shows the available post-processors, with your custom posts first followed by the built-in posts. Click a post to select it; when choosing a post for a machine, double-click it or click Select to confirm.


Adding Post-Processors

  • Import — import a post-processor from a .pp file.
  • Download — download a post-processor from Vectric's cloud library.

Per-Post Actions

Right-click a post-processor for actions specific to it:

  • View — show the contents of the post file.
  • Changelog — show the post-processor's change log.
  • Customize — make an editable custom copy of a built-in post.
  • Open File Location — reveal a custom post's .pp file on disk.
  • Delete — remove a custom post, after confirmation.

Tip

View, Changelog and Customize apply to the built-in posts, while Open File Location and Delete apply to your own custom posts.
