Welcome to the forum!

CIMPRO is the GUI for GPost from AustinNC, containing an Option File Generator and Debugger.

A version of GPost (without the debugger I believe) can be installed when installing Creo Parametric. It is licensed with the Pro/MANUFACTURING licenses of Creo.

The Option File Generator is used to set up the generalized Postprocessor for your needs. It contains a lot of default options to generate the output as desired. In addition, one of the advanced functions it offers is customizing the output by a programming language named FIL (Factury Interface Language).

The programming is mainly intercepting CL commands and doing non-default actions for them, e.g. modify the output line as desired. It requires some time to learn how to properly use it.

Regards,

Gunter

    Good day Subramania - Gunter is correct: it is best to purchase a license and please do not ask for cracked licenses within this Community.

    Best,

      Information on student versions (including prices and features) can be found in the PTC Web Store, here:

      http://store.ptc.com/store/ptc/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryID.10011800

      A feature list tells me, it contains CAM Light and an internal short description about CAM Light says it supports 21/2 axis milling and contains a Generic GPOST (Fanuc).

      Hence, I have my doubts that the Option File Generator (including FIL) will be available (after all PTC has to pay royalties for GPOST).

      Can anyone with a student version confirm/disconfirm or make a quick test by creating a manufacturing and changing to Application > NC Post Processor?

      If the Option File Generator comes up, then this is what Shanmuga Narayanan will need and the Academic license (as it is called) should be an option.

      If you only need the postprocessor, then AustinNC may offer student licenses as well (just a guess, you will have to ask them)
