I was wondering if there is a way to get NC PLot to display the cut paths, and cords for the cuts that make up a g71,g72 canned cycle for a Haas lathe?

Thanks

If you want to see all the roughing motion for the canned cycle, then the answer is no. This has been on my list of things to do for a long time and I don't know when it might get done. All I can say is that it will probably be done as an update to V2 rather than as a part of V3.

Thanks,
Scott

thanks for the quick reply, i guess that's what single block stop and haas graphics are for.

Gonna be ordering 1 or 2 licenses soon..

I vote for the FANUC lathe double line G75 command set. It would be great to see this work as well as it does for the G90 and G94 commands.

Even without the G7X commands there is nothing out there that does this as well as NCPLOT! If you are setting on the fence about this application, go ahead and pull the trigger, you will be amazed at how much faster and accurately you can write g-code for you lathe.

With NCPLOT you can write code that is much faster and more to-the-point than code from any CAM tool out there.

Well NCplot will not backplot G7x for you but if you willing to spend money then EditNC Ver 9 or later will.... It even backplot drill G8x milling cycle for you too.

Aren't there several applications by that name?

There are many brand name you can choose from, and these software do offer 30days trial version, Predator nc, Cimco Editor. Check it out.

I have used Cimco and Predator, I trialed both of them before I found NCPlot. For what I do it is way better.

I thought you were talking about EditNC. It returns lots of hits from the search engine. None of which that I could find that refer to lathe work.

Do you have a link for the software you are referring to in post #5?

Another thing that would be absolutely stellar in NCPlot would be a graphic that shows the G42 command's actual position and recomputed position based on tool radius.

This would help the programmer determine if he got the G42 in the right place in the code and it is using the right quadrant.

My EditNC come with surfcam package, you can try there.

SP,
Can't agree with you more. I think Scott did an outstanding job on this, I use it all the time to verify my programs.
