Motivation I have been using a computer for about 20 years now and have been programming since I was in high-school. For those of you who are not familiar with what a post processor is, it is a module that can be loaded into the program that interfaces with the outside world. This post processor will allow you to learn more about my project here at Texas A&M University through an Autodesk Mastercam xt Application system. The History of Mastercam xt In July, 1983, the first version of CAD/CAM software called System GRC was introduced by Siemens. It was written in Pascal and, as the company began to grow, they moved exclusively to C and C++. This move led to a number of proprietary tools and languages. It was, however, not until 1993 that Mastercam first broke away from the proprietary world with the introduction of Mastercam 4.0 as a Windows-based product using CodeWarrior as its development platform. In 1996 Mastercam switched from CodeWarrior to VisualC++ as its development platform and added CAM functionality throughout the product line with Mastercam 5.0 for Windows 95/NT and UnixWare SPARC/Solaris systems. Mastercam xt is the latest version of Mastercam, an enhancement to the Mastercam 5.0 code base, and has been added to the C++ language family. The aim of this project is to do what I can for 3ds Max users who want to learn CAD/CAM systems like Mastercam. It will also provide an easy way for me to teach myself about CAD programming. Mastercam xt has many enhancements over previous versions; some of which are:Mastercam xt is not compatible with previous versions of Autodesk 3ds Max (or any other program for that matter). The engine that drives Mastercam is called ADINA (Autodesk Inc. Intrinsic Data-Enhanced Numerical Library) which was developed jointly by Autodesk and Siemens. ADINA is an object oriented programming environment that can also read/write in the traditional ASCII GIA (G-Code Interpreter). The Program The goal of this program is to create a post processor for Mastercam xt. The post processor will work by adding commands to the Mastercam interface through prompts. These commands are collected from the Autodesk 3ds Max user interface, collected from other forms in 3ds Max, or collected from a text document. There are a few ways the post processor can be used. They are:The second option is the preferred method as the third option is prone to user error. The second option allows for a maximum amount of flexibility and power without burdening the user with anything they don’t need to know about. However, if there is enough interest from Autodesk 3ds Max users who want additional features, I will consider adding a command line version of Mastercam xt Post Processor Edition. This way it can be used as a stand-alone program or integrated into Windows Explorer where it will work like any other program would inside Windows Explorer. cfa1e77820
