rationalising code

[inflateable]

Anyone know if there's a way in edgecam to rationalise code? What I mean by that is to eliminate unecessary movement commands. I have a lathe with very limited memory and I don't want to have to re-edit line after line with the risk of deleting an important one!

For example, edgecam throws out this for a single groove plunge:
G00 Z-22.65
G01 X172.4 F0.06
G01 X164.4
G01 X85.97
G01 X81.97
G00 X135.0

I've got four G01 Xmoves in there that could be one line. How can I get edgecam to throw out:
G00 Z-22.65
G01 X81.97 F0.06
G00 X135.0
instead? Or can't I?

seems like this would be driven by the code generator.
looks like the G1 is forced on everyline in the first example.

not sure what would make it kick out the multiple x locations but it might be some type of standoff for the cuts so you could tweak feeds on leadin or cut starts.

run the code wizard with the code generator trace on and maybe see where the info is kicking out from then maybe you can narrow it down and tweak it out to what you want.

i'm a little crazy about how i want to see my code and i have been able to get all my machines to give me what i want with 99% out of box options.

play around with it, tweak and recode, follow the trace and tweak those constructors and the cycle info till you like it.

save a back up before you start and you don't have to worry about messing anything up.
