GPP Output

The following options are available to output Transformations in GPP, selectable in the Post Processing Dialog.

Fully exploded, to maintain backward compatibility with legacy GPP post-processors.
As Transformations, for newly modified post-processors and for GPP2.

Fully Exploded Mode

When selecting this option, all transformed motions are exploded and posted as a standard toolpath output. There are no traces of any transformations (as if the procedures were actually copied and re-executed in all transformed positions).

This option is important to support GPP1 post-processors.

Non-Exploded Transformations

In this mode, GPP outputs the transformation procedures in a way that is very similar to the way they are represented inside Cimatron. That data and structure are used by GPP2 to present the transformed procedures.

GPP users are able to use that information in a manual way in the EXF file.

Each transformation procedure is output as a series of blocks:

BEGINNING OF PROC:	Used for several name parameters, such as transformation procedure name, comment and unique name.
ORIGIN CHANGE:	Defines the transformation procedure UCS.
PROC TRANS:	The header block defining the transformation type, etc.
END OF PROC:	For completeness.
