RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Conversational CNC Programming

Peter,

For visualizing what I refer to as conversational programming take a look
at:

http:/home/inter.net/mthomas and follow the link to GenGCode. There are
plenty of screen shots which should give you an idea of what I am referring
to.

Hope this helps

Mark
