I am searching for an easy cad/cam software that can generate ISO G code with 4 axes it could be similar to easycad software or if there a possibility to generate the G-code with the easycad

Hi,
given that Fusion 360 is free to hobbyists/startups it has proven to be popular.

hy, please share a few images, so to have a clue about desired part complexity / kindly :)
Take a look at DeskProto. it has several strategies for producing 4-axis G-code from mesh models. It's just a CAM program, though - you can probably make the CAD model in EasyCAD and export it to DeskProto as an STL. https://computersculpture.com/deskproto/
hiii
thanks for replying. All I have is an Italian machine for glass with the grinding tool (the 4th axis is in degree) i used to make drawing on mirror glass with a lot of small curves where in some places i need a compensation for the tool.
if the fusion 360 provide this it will be a great pleasure
all i have a dxf drawing (the 4 axis is in degree) i need to make a compensation for the tool I never heard about deskproto
What kind of compensation are you talking about?
The free version of Fusion 360 doesn't include 4-axis machining anymore as far as I understand.Quote:

the compensation of the beginning of the line or arc & the end of it. the grinding tool is like a saw disc just for marking on the glass i have drawing with small arc
this is an example of what i work on it the whole issue is that i will need compensation for the start & the end of the geometry for not having a cross line
hy tony :) if you can provide a working code, i can help you with a custom app / kindly :)
i am using sheetcam but i i have to fix some issue on it i can send u a working code & the post but the issue is a little bit difficult about the threshold of the cutter
For example if i need to make a square i need on the corner the cutter is to be lifted & compensate the offset of the tool (tool is in the center of geometry) this it can be solved by the value of the threshold but when u have several arcs & in some places should continuous & in other places should be compensate
this a picture trying to explain my problem the blue marks are the one that it should be connected & the green are the one that should be sompensated
okey :) if you wish to discuss specific details, please enable your private messaging, so to avoid flooding the forum
there should be no problem handling conection between geometries, just like you wish :)
