Seems to be a very interesting software. Would it be possible to create a IGES from a G code file or did I not understand this rigth??
That would have been a very nice function for me. I really struggle with some STL files but I mannage to make G code programs over these files but i would be much easier to modify a IGES file.

I have downloaded this so I will check it out.

its only a simulation software , you open gcode in it and watch it run , its good to test a program and see what will be produced before actualy running on the cnc machine

Screenshots look good....I'll be trying it out! :beer:

I did an install and config, but got really funny results. I will try again using the sample gcode supplied, but I didn't understand the setup for simple 2D stuff. Still if I spend more than 10 minutes I may get better results! It was just not immediately real easy to deploy.

I´m also looking for a free editor like cimco edit for example?
