Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Convert G-Code inch to millimeters

Peter,

You can always write a simple converter using Microsoft Excel. It has some
very powerful text manipulation programming abilities to dissect your array
into specific columns for line number, G or M code, X position, Y position,
Z position (and more if you have more than 3 axes), and feedrate. You could
then divide all axes values by 25.4 to get inches from millimeters.

After you have converted the numbers you can re-merge all of the columns
into a single text array and eliminate the un-needed spaces. If you would
like some help with this, I can offer some guidance.
