Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RE: autoeditNC 3.0=> Gcode flavors

Ballendo,

I'd even be happy if I could *RECOGNIZE* the different G&M codes! Must
have something to do with the "post processors" I hear about. I'm
feelin' lucky if my *OWN* programs will read the g-code I have! Like
the G02 & G03 parameters I, J & K (I haven't figured out what to do with
K, But then again, I haven't figured out when I would cut an arc in
other then XY, Yeah, I know, probably later...). Right now, I'm using
VectorCAD/CAM to draw my little steam engine project in 3D. Enough for
me to learn to draw and rotate the parts in 3D. But I think this all
helps one to be able to visualize and program CNC!
