Take a look at EMC's CP1.
More than just a program for end users, it's a programming tool to make new
conversations (dialogs). It originally put out GCode, but I hacked it to
output Heidenhain code also. Simple rule set to make a new conversation...
example convesation:
width?
depth?
cutter dia?
corner radius?
depth?
step-over?
step-down?
result:
lotsa lotsa lotsa lines of Gcode creating a pocket
How to make a new conversation?
open a text editor & look at an existing one ( each is a file )
read the docs
just change one thingy in the original & test run it
change more till you know how,
then build your own ( as difficult as a web page!)
written in TclTk so will run on Mac Uni* M$ and more
tomp
