Machinist's
Calculator: Quickly calculate speeds & feeds, trig, bolt
circle coordinates and much more. Click for detailed information.
(Available as a separate application.)
Light
version of Machinist's Calculator for your Palm or Pocket PC.
DNC-File Up/Download:
Up/download of CNC files and DNC. (Available as a separate application.)
FileLookup is an application
designed to quickly search through your CNC files using keywords contained
in the files. An excellent help in managing that growing number of
CNC progams!
Block number: Easy to
use dialog boxes allow the user to quickly number or renumber the
whole file, sections of the file, sub programs, etc.
Code Store: Save often
used segments of CNC code in an easy to use library.
Scale and Mirror:
Use this function to convert programs between inch and metric systems,
reduce or increase part dimensions, increase/decrease speeds and feeds.
As with all the CNC tools, process all or sections of a file. Switch
any or all coordinate addresses between positive and negative values,
with the option of switching G02/G03 and G41/G42.
Switch axes: Convert files
from vertical to horizontal machines, change the orientation of cuts
by switching the values of coordinate addresses. eg. X to Z, Z to
X.
Shift coordinates:
Add or subtract a specified amount from any or all coordinate
values. Move machined features, or use in conjunction with copy/paste
to duplicate parts, etc.
Syntax colouring:
Helps improve readability of codes. Also colours common mistakes red
(letter O instead of zero, for example).
Work envelope: Show
the maximum positive and negative amount of movement for X, Y and
Z axes. Covers the whole file, or between designated tool changes.
Switch absolute/incremental:
Process the whole file, or just a portion. Ideal for converting
pieces of code for sub-programs.
File compare: Graphically
show the differences between two files.
Options. Even more ways
to customize EditCNC: choice of fonts is new for version 3.
More features:
Insert/remove spaces:Add spaces for ease of readability
when editing a program, then remove them to shrink the program size.
When multiple files are open, scrolling one file will cause the others
to scroll simultaneously when scroll lock is on.
Open multiple files and cut/copy/paste parts or all
of one file to another.
Edit large files, size limited only by the capacity
of your computer.
Quickly find tool changes, feed words, etc by using the Ctrl+F and
F3 keys.
Print your files with date and title, as well as the syntax
colour. Print selected portions of a file.
