four leaf clover

can you transfer a g code into a drawing? I got a g code sample program from industrial hobbies under their production notes. and i will attach the dxf of the part (that is only a 2d drawing). I am just trying to make a drawing that actually shows the same thing being machined from the code in a rendering.

I don't quite get what your asking Krymris. I opened your file and it is not a Clover (I'm thinking Shamroc). BCC can perform a function called Geometry From NC, which will read G-Code and Draw the Shape on the CAD Side of the Software. I hope this is what you mean.

i got it to work. Thank you for your help. That is exactly what i needed.

I ran the simulation with the mach 3 post and the first movement is not right. it is going to far down and cutting into the material over to the intial circle. I do not understand why that is happening. It is suppose to rapid over to the circle then go down. I have uploded the video to show you the part being cut by aaron and he used mach3. Why can't i get this to work right? i cant get the video to load but you can get it from the industrial hobbies site under production notes or videos

if you want to convert txt file (go1 x123 y123) to DXF file

try this program

the output file is always titled Data.DXF the output file is saved to the same location that it was collected from...

got the file all converted but still can't get that intial cut to go away in the simulation. I am using ver 21 any help

If you plot a point to initially start before each tool and use the Move to Point on the CAM side before Generating your G-Code this will fix the problem.
