It should work with both miller and lathe gcode.
ALTERNATIVES TO NCPLOT CODE
If you created your g code in Fusion 360, it has some very powerful plotting functions and stuff like tool / holder / workholder clash detection.Īctually, now I think about it, you can probably use PlanetCNC TNG machine controller to both program and give a graphical display of the workpiece ( available here) Written by an intern with Autodesk - I think you can be certain he was offered a job afterwards. n cviewer Opens in a browser and you can simply drag and drop your file into the window. I've been using NC Corrector for 4 or 5 years now to good effect.

I just googled it its still available in a newer version, but its no longer free I used to use a program called NC plot, it had a nice editor and allowed for easy back plotting, I have a copy of the program installer but it dates back to 2006, I haven't run on later operating systems, I think its share or freeware, it had a nag screen that disappeared on click, pm me and ill send it to you. I've just had a play and edits to codes like G00 or G01 do show up on the graphical display provided you do a plot refresh. The loaded G-code is in a text editor, and I have editted the code from time to time, mostly associated with tool changes which don't affect the toolpath. I use NCPlot which costs $299, after a short free trial. So I use a backplotting program to display the toolpath direct from the saved G-code as a sanity check. However, experience says that the toolpath the CAM program thinks it is following isn't always the one followed by the G-code it generates. I mostly use CAM to generate my G-code, writing by hand once in a blue moon. You could look at Camotics ? I have used it a bit and it seems to do the job.
ALTERNATIVES TO NCPLOT SOFTWARE
If, you can find a download of this rather old software you will not be disappointed. It's old software which runs well on my Win XP machine. DesKAM 2000 creates G code toolpaths with a backplot from a. I have been using DesKAM 2000 by Carken for the last 18 years and would not change it. Can anyone recommend a fully working application for £200 or less? I have tried Predator but their version with back plotting is over $500. I have evaluated GWizard but I am not willing to pay their asking price since it has some bugs and they seem to be not interested in fixing the bugs. Up to now I am using jViewer but there are a lot of codes it does not know about and I believe its development was abandoned long ago. I type in the code and it displays as a line drawing what the machine will do. I am looking for a plain G-Code editor with back plotting. Here is a links to related project.Not sure if I should tag onto this post but it already has G-Code experts on it. Another method involves calculating Voronoi diagrams or Voronoi nodes. My method for determining the tool paths for v-carving are detailed in the link above. P圜AM (P圜AM can do centering and multiple lines of text.)

ALTERNATIVES TO NCPLOT ZIP
The source for TTF2CXF_STREAM is available in the F-Engrave source code zip file. TTF2CXF (Ribbonsoft) (To compile on Ubuntu I had to add "-lm" in the Makefile and "#include " in the main.cpp file.)į-Engrave uses a modified version of TTF2CXF (called TTF2CXF_STREAM) to import TTF fonts on the fly. Utility that converts True Type font (TTF) files into CXF format: when you are finished with your text select File-Write To Axis and Exit, This option only existed when executed from within Axis) Usable as an LinuxCNC Axis filter program (open the f-engrave.py file from within LinuxCNC Axis File-Open-f-engrave.py. Customizable G-Code preamble and post-amble Display line thickness to be used during engraving allows visualization of end result Origin selection allows user to select the location of g-code zero position Mirroring text (vertical) and flipping text (horizontal) Supports multiple lines of text with justification (Left, Right and Centered) Capable of exporting Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file

Uses TTF font files (with the help of ttf2cxf_stream, not all formats are supported) Imports bitmap images (with Potrace helper program) Straight bit pocketing (in the v-carve window) cut pockets using a straight bit.

B-Carving, v-carving with a ball nose bit instead of a v-bit (see image below) V-Carve inlay support (see video below) V-carve for outline fonts, images and DXF files (DXF files and fonts should be composed of closed section loops when v-carving)
