You do not need to hand-write G-code to run Mastercam, but you do need to read it well enough to verify and fix what the post processor outputs.
You can hand-edit posted Mastercam code in Code Expert or a text editor, but the durable fix is the post or toolpath. Edit only the value, keep the block, re-verify.
Mastercam posts wrong G-code when the machine definition, control definition, and post do not match your actual machine. The triad, and the fix order.
