    EDM wire cutter g-code?

    Hi all,

    I have been asked at work to learn to program our joemars EDM wire cutter, I have a good Knowledge of Autocad and Solidworks and also understand how cnc machines work, but its been a very long time since i last played around with g-code.
    I have a small file created in note pad, which generates correctly in a piece of software called CNC simulator, but im not sure about the corect modal codes to use and the correct way to apply the file to the wire cutter.
    Any advice on creating these sort of files will be greatly apreciated.
    Oh and if anyone knows of a good code generator for EDM machines please let me know.

    This is also posted in the mentors section, sorry i didnt know how to remove it!
