Is anyone using Solidworks with LinuxCNC (previsously known as EMC)? I use LinuxCNC to drive my DIY CNC router, and am looking for a post processor that will generate gcode that is compatible with LinuxCNC.
I have been using Fusion 360, which has a post built in for LinuxCNC. I've finally started learning Solidworks and have generated the toolpaths, but got hung up when it was time to choose the post processor.
Thanks,
Jeremy
Jeremy,
I have not used it yet but this is what I followed. Would be interested to hear if it works for you.

Jeremy,
I just tried this post processor on my machine (Chinese 3040 cnc) and I was able to get it to work. It initially failed to run the Gcode, but after removing the three instances of tools in the Gcode it ran.
