+# Informations :
+
+This folder contains the **.CTL** file to load a Marlin compatible (hence Snapmaker compatible as it is based on Marlin flavored GCode) postprocessor on Solidworks CAM.
+
+This ressource was originally found here :

+
+# Usage :
+
+To install, in solidworks CAM :
+
+1. Launch solidworks and go to **SolidworksCAM tab** 
+
+   In case you don't see it, try to see if it is available by right-clicking the tab region under the main top-ribbon, and check if SolidworksCAM is present and not checked. If so, check it. ( It however still may not be available depending on your licence options )![activate_solidworks_CAM_tab](images_docs/activate_solidworks_CAM_tab.PNG)
+
+2. Select the CNC solidworks gestion tab in the left-pannel :![Setting_location](images_docs/Setting_location.PNG)
+
+3. Right click on **Machine**, and select **"Edit definition" :**![edit_machineconfig_solidworksCAM](images_docs/edit_machineconfig_solidworksCAM.PNG)
+
+4. In the **pop-up window**, select the **post-processing tab**, and select **Browse** to choose the **.ctl** file you downloaded :![post_processing_edition](images_docs/post_processing_edition.PNG)
+
+5. Choose the Marlin.ctl file you downloaded. Click open, and then click "select" in the Machine configuration previous  Window.![ctl_file_select](images_docs/ctl_file_select.PNG)
+
+It is now done for the installation.
+
+
+When you export your .cnc programs off of SolidworksCAM, you just need to open them with any text based editor (like Notepad++). There is only two steps here : 
+
+remove the top parts in grey on the images below : (Gcode  unreadable by Snapmaker in CNC mode based on their docs) :
+
+![remove_GCODE-top1](images_docs/remove_GCODE-top1.PNG)
+
+![remove_GCODE-top2](images_docs/remove_GCODE-top2.PNG)
+
+and change M3 line with S12000 parameter to M3 line with P100 parameter ([Explanation of M3 command usage by snapmaker firmware](https://github.com/Snapmaker/snapmaker_cnc_post_process/blob/master/gcode_reference.md#m3))
+
+![change_GCODE-M3](images_docs/change_GCODE-M3.PNG)
+
+
+The .cnc files will then be loadable in Snapmaker Luban or SnapmakerJS and executeable by the Snapmaker controller.
+
+(sucessfully tested on a snapmaker 2.0 A250 with firmware V1.10.1)
+
+No issues on "run boundary" function noticed.
