Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Largest (in MB) and longest (in lines) G code file?

Hi Ballendo:
Biggest file: around 15 Meg
Number of blocks: I haven't the faintest idea; the program ran for 8 hours
at 30 " per minute though.
Typical 3D file : a floppy's worth, so about 1 Meg and change.
Line count: about 60,000 blocks
Typical 2D file: about 110K
Line count: about 5000 blocks.
Hope this is useful to you (though I can't for the life of me, imagine why
you'd need to know this????)

Cheers

Marcus
