Text editor for CNC code (G-code) with 3D toolpath simulation

tkCNC Editor is a text editor, specially designed for editing of CNC code (G-code) for CNC machines. It is used by CNC programmers and operators for fast editing and verification of NC code. tkCNC Editor supports G-code syntax highlighting, multiple undo/redo, print preview, fast block renumbering, generation of circular and rectangular point patterns, smart templates, mirroring, translation, rotation of coordinates, 3D toolpath simulation…

Other features:

– Fast points import from AutoCAD

– Generator of circular and rectangular point patterns (coordinates)

– Smart CNC code templates – smart reuse of your CNC code

– Various operations with CNC code registers such as: mirroring, renumbering, translation, 2D and 3D rotation, mathematical operations (+,-,*,/), sorting etc.

– Improved conversion of CNC code from polar to Cartesian system and Cartesian to Polar

– Absolute to incremental and incremental to absolute conversion

– option for reversing toolpath direction

– CNC code registers swapping

– CNC code registers sorting (order in block)

– Stripping of block numbers

– improved 3D toolpath simulation/verification with possibility of toolpath export in DXF file

– new machine wizard for definition of new machines

– Degrees conversion from Degrees/Minutes/Seconds format to decimal format and vice versa

– Automated CNC documents merging

– ‘QuickCalc’ function implemented in text editor window for quick calculations

tkCNC Editor version 3.0 has implemented these functions:

– MDI (Multiple document interface) – allows editing of multiple CNC documents
