Editor's review
This is an Editor for CNC code.
EditCNC will let you create, edit and upload or download CNC programs quickly and easily. This CNC code tool has quite a few desirable features. These include search & replace, multiple undo/redo, multiple open files, etc. The file size you can handle is limited only by the storage available in your system. While a full-fledged mechanical CAD/CAM system can target all kinds of jobs, smaller ones could be taken care of by this tool. For simple situations, you could just get away with an editor on your PC. Much of the basic CNC programming can be done faster and easier just by writing the G-code. EditCNC will help make this process easier. Code generated through CAD/CAM programs could be cleaned up and optimized manually by working on it through this EditCNC tool. Block numbering, scaling, mirroring and moving coordinates, help with calculating speeds and feeds, file transfer between computer and CNC control; DNC are only a few of the functions included. Editor features page of the publishers’ website lists all the features of the editor.
EditCNC was designed for small to medium sized jobbing machine shops. Even in a regular CAD/CAM shop, the EdiCNC can fit in into the regular workflow quite easily. There will be small jobs that can be taken care of without deploying the full CAD/CAM system. The interface is easy to understand and quite intuitive. Drop down menus are used extensively to make things simple for users. Most people would be able to start using it effectively very quickly. Large part of the display area is given over to listing the code making it easy to edit the files. This is a very good tool.
