Need Help!- Fadal G-Dode converter

[Xenomorph]

I have a few hundred Fadal CNC88 programs I would like to convert to Fanuc. Does anyone know of a good software translator to do this?

They should already be in fanuc. Fadal doesnt need all the g90 codes and others when changing tools or in feed mode.

That is mostly true. My programs do not have any G43's and most of them have sub-programs at the start of the program and end with and M30. I also use L9xxx fixed subs in my programs. Also my programs have multiple M codes on a single line. This is not allowed in Fanuc.

Also my Fadal programs use E1 instead of G54.

Just do a search for that input and a change the input. Most cad programs will do this

That would be fine for a few programs, but I have more than 400. It will take forever to manually edit all of them.

Technically you can use the find/replace to edit one automatically with only 2 clicks. You would have to go through them all like this but windows does have an auto feature and you could batch them and do them up pretty fast...like 5mn fast.
