EditCNC
|
EditCNC has many powerful features designed just for CNC programmers and editors. Also EditCNC includes the basic features you would expect from any editor of this quality, such as search and replace, multiple undo/redo, multiple open files, file size limited only by the capacity of your computer, etc.
Experienced programmers know that different types of jobs require different methods for the most efficient programs. Sometimes its your full blown CAD/CAM, sometimes MDI, and sometimes its an editor on your PC - or a combination. Most basic CNC programming can be done faster and easier just by writing the g-code. EditCNC makes that even easier.
EditCNC Features:
1. Block numbering and renumbering in all or part of the file
2. Mirror any or all axes in all or part of the file
3. Scale any or all axes in all or part of the file
4. Add or subtract values to any or all axes in all or part of the file
5. Remove spaces to minimize file size, or insert spaces for easy reading
6. Custom syntax coloring for easy reading of the code
7. Switch axes, X to Y, Y to Z, etc
8. Switch between Absolute and Incremental coordinates in all or part of the file
9. Work envelope: show maximum axis travel
10. Save often used segments of CNC code in an easy to use library
11. Quickly search through your CNC files using keywords contained in the files
12. File up/download and DNC
13. Calculator for speeds and feeds, trigonometry
While most of the menu commands are common to many text editors, the Tools menu is available to the CNC programmer to simplify tasks such as scaling, mirroring and renumbering blocks of code. Syntax colouring of text helps make the code easier to read, as does the ability to quickly insert spaces before words. The spaces can also be quickly removed so as to shrink the size of large files.
The ability to open multiple documents at one time enables the user to copy text from one file to another, merge files into one, or just look up an older program to help get the code format for a particular application.
This help file is written assuming that the user has a basic working knowledge of Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000 , NT, XP, Vista or Windows 7.
It is necessary to be familiar with such actions as launching applications, selecting text for cutting or copying, etc. The user must also be familiar with the drive and folder (directory) system of filing documents.
In this manual the terms "document", "file", and "text file" refer to the text files that contain the CNC program.
