Introduction to GPP

GPP is essentially a programming environment that allows the development of post-processors for Cimatron NC.

The GPP process consists of the following:

  1. Customizing the GPP environment by defining a specific post processor. This takes place in a number of stages.

  2. Running the post processor to create the G-Code file required by a specific CNC machine.

To access the GPP Post Processor, run the Cimatron Control Panel and select the NC tab:

  1. Select Cimatron Control Panel from Start > Programs > Cimatron.

  2. Select the NC tab.

The buttons indicated below relate to the GPP post processor.
