Pathtrace to Icam Post Interface Documentation

Overview

The Pathtrace Interface Kit is used to accommodate differences in syntax between Pathtrace and ICAM's post processing language.

Ptrace.exe Utility

The CL output of Pathtrace version 4.5 and earlier do not conform to the ISO APT standard. Run the ptrace.exe utility (supplied) to convert Pathtrace "cl" files to ISO "asc" ones compatible with CAM-POST. For example, run the following command to convert a CL file named "text.cl" to "test.asc":

• ptrace test.cl

This will create a file called "test.asc" which you can then use with CAM-POST.
