I have made CAM in Feature Script.

I wanted to thank you for sharing your FS ncout functionality. In high school I found it very useful.

If at any time you consider it opportune to improve it, I would suggest a couple of changes.

The option that you can suppress the header of the G code with a simple Boolean

----^O100.nc

%

(O100)
G90 G00 X0 Y0 Z100,000

The option that you can suppress the end of the G code with a simple Boolean

M05

M30

@fer_fer, Thank you for using a lot.

Generally, CAM uses a post-processor to output the NC code you want for your the cutting machine.
Tab 'standardNc.fs' acts as a post-processor in the current version of 'ncout'.

You can output your favorite code by the following:

1. Copy document 'ncout' and name it 'My ncout'.

2. Copy(duplicate) Tab 'standardNc.fs' and name it 'MyNc.fs' in 'My ncout'.

3. Edit 'MyNc.fs.' For Example:

 Change  (line36):  nc += ["%\n",oName,"G90 G00 X0 Y0",{z:definition.retractZ}];
  To                nc += ["%\n",{z:definition.retractZ}];

4. Click 'Commit' in 'MyNc.fs'

5. Edit 'ncout.fs'

  Delete (line4):  import(path : "standardNc.fs", version : "...");
  click 'Import' (left button of 'Commit').
  click 'Feature Studio' in Import dialog.
  click 'MyNc.fs'. Then insert a line 'Import(path : "MyNc.fs", ....)'
  close Import Dialog by clicking 'x'

6. Click 'Commit' in 'ncout.fs'

7. Change tab 'sampleA'.

  You can see a line 'G90 G00 X0 Y0' is omitted in FeatureScript notices.

I know it is better that 'ncout' will support PostProcessor functions such as 'MyNc.fs' for many machines and switch them easily.
But I will not release an improved version because only a few people around me  use it and Onshape will release CAM this year as all know.
