ExcelCut 4 Axis Wing Cutter with Source Code

[vtcnc]

Sorry, no rony. I also wrote to arman who wrote the software but never received a reply back. Surely someone must have a copy!

I've included a copy of Excelcut.

Thanks, I actually posted that one in your reference myself -- it is an early version which I had subsequently found cached on the I"nternet Wayback Machine".

I wonder if we can get a newer version from someone.

I also wonder if anyone has the skills to get it running on the (free) Open Office Calc rather than Microsoft Excel. That would open it up to everyone.

I've got problems getting good G-code from Profili Pro 2.30a.
It just has too many bugs, and some simple things just can't be done.
I'm writing a new Excel sheet which exports G-code.

Pro-per, good for you! I've had similar problems with Foamworks and a few others in both G-code and .DAT output files from DXF

I was also hoping that Excelcut might furnish a means of customizing the translation by understanding the Excel source code.

I run Linux however, and while I have a couple old computers with Win 98 and XP on them, my newest Excel version is 2000. Excelcut was developed on Excel 2003.

I really wish this program could be adapted to Open Office Calc -- which would open it up to most operating systems, including both Win and Linux, instead of being tied to specific versions of Excel, etc.

Anyway, good luck!

Thanks for posting the file, prop-er.
Much appreciated.

I know this is a bit off, has anyone attempted
this?

I tried to look at the code which is Visual Basic.
Unfortunately, the code is password protected
so first I need the password to compare with
calc scripting paradigms.

The only way to port it is to first have access
to the code, which would then need to be ported
to calc.

So, if you can get me the password, I'll be happy
to see what porting it will entail.

Is there a way to test/check a file without having the controllers attached to the pc? I'd like to do that to make sure all is well before taking the file out to the "shop." Maybe some trick to fool the software into not looking for the controller? Jim

This is a repeat of a prior post, but does anyone have access to the password for the VB in ExcelCAM? The program seems to do most of what I need but I would like to look at the VB to see what's going on and add features at some time.
