Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] need software to convert step&diraction in to command

Hi Wayne,

Could be!

On further thinking, I suppose a program could somehow tabulate all
steps, analyze for coordinated moves, and calculate the Gcode from that.
No, I haven't seen any software to do that.

One could just run the program and DRAW out the toolpaths. Import the
toolpaths BACK into a cad program.

Still think we need to hear more about the task. Yeah, I could have it
all backwards!
