Just an update. The software has evolved somewhat in the last 2 weeks.
Cnc Code Maker now got a User-defined cycle, which can be adjusted (through the post-processor) to work with built-in cycles in the controls. (for example G71, G72 etc in Fanuc Lathes). There's an experimental post-processor supplied.
There's also a (currently only Milling) contour cycle operation, with automatic entry/exit.
Here's a link to a few YouTube videos: Videos
This is the fix-list(s) from the last two weeks:
Code:* Entry/Exit revamped * Added a Parameter box for the Entry/Exit * Fixed the mouse pointer jump on Mouse-wheel zoom in. * Fixed messages for dimension * Added some missing icons to the menu * Added the modified menu (not done) * Fixed a misspelled XML entry. * Fixed a bug where it would soft-crash if the file were missing on open. * Major rewrite of tool-path generation/handling. * Added "NC operations" * Added "New operation" button, for manual Operations * Added "Contour operation" with depth-cuts, automatic entry/exit and automatic Machine cutter compensation. * Fixed a bug in Manual Entry * Added stuff in the post-processor. * Added depth output on tool-path drawing * Added Layers * Added confirmation on tool-path clear * Added Eob in the Post-processor engine ([MACHINE] - EOB ) * Now the NC text box scrolls to the bottom when new tool-paths are added. * Redesigned Layers (Hold Control and click to make active) * Fixed missing associations when hovering center-point and mid-point * Fixed the circular bug in NC Auto-route * Added Offset contour (yet limited, no arc support). See the example here: http://www.cncsimple.com/forum/index.php?topic=5.msg68#msg68 * Fixed the icon and text for the function move between layers * Fixed a bug where the Save menu, icon always asked for a filename. * Fixed a bug where the Free block didn't immediately appear in code window * Remade Auto-route tool-path to use the new chain select function. It's not 100% working as intended yet (the chain select). * Fixed some various stuff in the post-processor engine. * Changed some incorrect text in the Contour operation, and offset contour. * Fix a bug where the hovered lines/arc didn't highlight when chain-selecting. * Added Custom cycle operation. * Added a bunch new variables in the postprocessor * Added [USERCYCLE] + more in the postprocessor * Added User defined messages for the Custom Cycle operation in the postprocessor * Remade the Condition check in the post-processor (Was "? VALUE>1, n, Do Stuff", is "IF VALUE > 1 THEN n, Do stuff") * Added the user cycle to the file format (Load/save) * Added an experimental Fanuc 0T Lathe post (New post-stuff in it, check it out if interested) * Added experimental incremental coordinates (iX, iY, iZ) * Added a bunch of missing variables comparing in the post-processor engine * Added a bunch of missing variables updates in the post-processor engine * Fixed a selection bug * Added a tolerance in the chain-select function * Fixed some DXF Layer errors (still need to overhaul the DXF layers) * Fixed Trim 2 Lines to work as intended (line -arc, arc-arc still bugged) * Fixed the issue that made Auto-route to spit out doubles. * Fixed the issue that made Contour Operation to spit out doubles. * Fixed the issue that made Custom cycle to spit out doubles. * Fixed some missing stuff and typos in the Iso mill posts processors. * Added file associations in the setup program. * Remove the automatic new operation when you make a Custom cycle (allows you to do entry/exits w/o issues) * Fixed a bug that the I, J, K & R values weren't assigned their correct value in the custom cycle (in post-processor engine) * Fixed a forgotten coordinate in the end block of the custom cycle. It shouldn't really matter, but it looked bad graphics-wise. Save files could still display it the wrong way. + more
The first release is getting closer.
