Gcode reader displays toolpath

[bevinp]

Can anyone recommend a software program that reads a Gcode program and then displays the tool path in 3D?

There are a few Gcode editors with TP display on the internet but some are dated and others don't to have much toolpath display capability.

It would be great if SprutCAM could do it and match it to the workpiece or part.

Yes I know Mach3 will do it but I find the display provides little useful information.

I've been using NCPlot for the past couple of years. In addition to viewing toolpaths, I find the transformations useful for last minute changes at the mill. For example I can change the zero location, rotate, mirror and scale the gcode.

The tool list feature is nice to make sure Sprutcam hasn't scrambled all the tool numbers in my library. Again.

I am also a big NCPlot fan. !!
It is what I use to write all my code. And how I learned. Can't say enough good things about it

Thanks.
The specs look very impressive. It is a little more expensive ($299) than I was hoping the price would be, but it seems very capabie.
I will give it a try in the next few weeks, and let you know how I find it.
