Our software is loaded with features designed to make life a little easier for machinists and CNC programmers!
Click on the links below for a full description of each one.


All of the features shown on this page are included in EditCNC.

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.
