    Optoform 50 Doing my head in.

    Would someone be kind enough to tell me of any software that would mae my Optofrm 50 lathe behave like a conventional CNC machine (with G and M codes etc) instead of the useless heap of **** that it does at the moment trying to second guess every move you make?

    I'm making optical aspheric components in plastic, aluminium and germanium etc. The machine is controled using Multi Curve Generation Software (although that's not what I call it- I got a few more choice names for it).

    The problem is it thinks it's making contact lenses so assumes that one face if convex and the other concave amongst other assumptions.

    Many thanks in advance.
