G-Code Software
Our line of software programs for the creation and conversion of G-Code files is suitable for X-Y axis CNC machines such as Laser Cutters etc. Our utilities are easy to install and easy to operate. With a few mouse clicks the operator can generate a G-code file from an AutoCAD drawing or convert a G-code file into a DXF file to be imported into AutoCAD for editing.


    Generic G-code Generator 2.0 "GGG2"

  • Generates G-code files directly from within
    your AutoCAD drawings.
  • Programmed in AutoLISP language.
  • Two versions available, one for Release 12, 13 or 14 and one for AutoCAD 2000+up.
  • Works with any number of geometrical shapes consisting of lines, arcs and circles.
  • Processes closed loops and open shapes.
  • Automatic cutter diameter compensation.
  • Optional break-out tabs.
  • User decides the order of machining steps and direction of machining paths.
  • The program features selectable straight or curved approaches into the machining path along with either fixed or variable length start distances.
    G-codes generated by GGG2:
  • G00 - Rapid Traverse: to position the tool to the start of a new machining path
  • G01 - Linear Interpolation: for machining in straight lines
  • G02 - Circular Interpolation, CW: for machining of clockwise oriented arcs or circles
  • G03 - Circular Interpolation, CCW: for machining of counter clockwise arcs or circles
  • G41 - Tool diameter compensation, left: offset the tool to the left of the machining path
  • G42 - Tool diameter compensation, right: offset the tool to the right of the machining path
  • G40 - Cancel tool compensation: to cancel previously applied cutter compensation code

G-Code Viewer+

This program reads G-Code files and draws the shapes on the screen. It works best with G-Code files made for machines where the path of the tool is identical with the shape of the part to be produced, e.g. laser cutters.
The program calculates the length of the machining path and the time it will take to process the part. The image and all calculated values can be printed out, to serve as a work sheet for the machine operator.

This utility can also be used to convert the shapes into DXF format and save them to disk. This way it is possible to import the part into AutoCAD (and many other CAD applications), regardless of which program was used to generate the G-Code file.
