Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] G code Examples / Cutviewer

Yes, it appears to actually show the cutter comp. but the tool paths are
incorrect if your using the IJK method of circular interpolation.

Those tool set ups are pretty cool. Once you learn them (see the help
section...part of it is pretty good) you can easily preprogram the tools
into your Gcode.

I ran the same program I tried last night (using Cutviewer) on the Fanuc
machine at school this morning. It worked perfectly there.
