Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO]G-CODE EDIT

Dave,

The best editor I've seen is called PC-DNC from Suburban Machinery.
sub-soft.com for demo version. The full featured demo was good for 30
(?) days, although the program will continue to edit small files past
that date. Not cheap, so it may be overkill for hobbyist types.
Take a look, it may give you some benchmarks to help pick a lesser
priced one.

I don't recall any editing I've wanted to do that PC-DNC couldn't
do. It even changes from absolute to relative I,J,K and vice-versa.

And, yes, a CNC specific editor is much more useful than a simple
text editing program. I consider a CNC editing program a necessity,
something which should be included as part of any good CAM software
package.
