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

I think the "Size" in MB or K may be misleading. I was just looking around
at some files and noticed that the same exact part programmed with the same
tooling and moves from one program has a different "Size" than another. When
I opened them even the "Lines" were within just a few so how the file is
saved may have something to do with it. I did not have time to study it.

My "Lines" typically run between 20K and 40K per job. Most of it engraving
work and I generally do not use Arc Commands in my files as the FlashCut
control actually runs a little more predictable in Contouring mode without
them.
