Ground Control Doesn't Recognize Mastercam Posts as NC Files

Hey all.

Any ideas why a mastercam post would not be recognized as .NC file? Ground Control lets me see the file. But when I attempt to load it, I get an error saying that it can open only open .NC, .txt, etc. I’ve got the machine successful running off posts from makercam. :man_shrugging:

Hi,
What ending does the file have? Would you share the file for testing?

The file ends in .NC

It appears I’m too new a user to upload. I’ll try to link to my google drive.

You have found a bug that .NC will not even show the file to me. Renaming it to .nc solves it. @bar will likely add the capital letters to the allowed list, so in the next version it should work.

If you want to try GitHub :wink: you can create a new issue under GroundControl.
The title would be something like: GroundControl does not load .NC (with capital letters)

Thanks Gero. Worked like a champ. I was hoping for something simple. :sunglasses:

I’ll get it on the issues list.
