A customer designs profiles in AutoCad using a cam plugin. Once finished, they need to generate nc code that Codesys supports, however it seems they can't find a fitting postprocessor that outputs fully compatible code as Codesys supports PARTS of the standard
Maybe you could give some suggestions or product/company names as I'm sure you've come across this before?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
which standard do you mean, this is exactly the problem.
My experiance is that every cnc manufacturer has his own dialect / extensions beside the main commands in g code.
You have two choises.
1. customized preprocessor - Output CODESYS G-CODE
2. FB in IEC which converts the dialect in CODESYS g-code while reading and processing it

The customer is looking for a customized pre/postprocessor.
But I guess we can make one ourselves as long as we get a dialect output close enough.
