Custom INI files are used to taylor Gcode to your particular machine tool. Several working examples are provided. Gcode is a low cost opportunity for small independent machine shops to convert their drawings into useful programs for their CNC and DNC equipment without the hassle of figuring out the geometry manually. Simply draw the outline of the part on a dedicated layer. Then DXF out the file to a directory that Gcode is watching. Gcode will capture the file, process, and plot it. A full function editor is provided up to one million line capacity to fine tune the file adding tool offsets etc. Numerous other options such as flipping the part, and scaling are provided.
