This is an open source post processor for ATP files outputed by CAM programs
It features - translating ATP commands into G-code, also it has select presets for output files, so you dont need to worry if your controler will open the file. But also it allows to make a costum file header, name and extension
- a very cool background in both localhosting and website use
Just open up this link below, there are some DEMO files there for those who dont have APT files ready

Most of information about APT and Gcode that I used is directly from school

DOCUMENTATIONS -> Demo outputs -> All of those files
CATIA APT1.0 has 0 documentation, all that I could find were like 2 or 3 notifications about how they changed output for some commands and that is it. Costs of Catia License, for the future I would like to test the newer Catia and other programs as well but they cost a lot

v1.0 Helix tool path support
v1.5 Complete Catia suport
v1.+ G-code output in ISO 6983, WinNC Sinumerik, WinNC Fanuc
