Alan,
That is really cool! Are you selling these clocks? The NIXIE Clock Multimeter is my favorite.
Thank you for the update!

Hi All,
I am working on a new commercial version of my Gcode2DXF. that features the ability to plot lines at or below the Z plane. It has new GUI interface that is easier to use.
Stay tuned for future updates.

After converting to a DXF. I use my CAD program to edit out the rapid moves. Then save as Autocad R11/12 with the changes.

Sounds really great Wayne. I will need a copy of the new program, as I lost all my backup AND cad files when my hard disk crashed. I learned one thing. Never have your back-up files on the same hard disk as your work files. I lost everything but the g-code which was on a different computer.
Hello
Hello Amyot,
Welcome to the CNC Zone. Do you have a question about the GcodetoDXF software?

Hello Wayne and others
I am looking for some way to convert the following to DXF. I have tried the version you have and another one based on your work but without success. I see that K is not supported in your version however I cannot get it to work on any of the following.
What the 3 examples below are, are an output shape of some rollers from a design package of roll forming. When I try even the simple one without G03 I do not get any result.
Can you or anyone assist me on how to convert this to a dxf file?
I am also happy to buy a commercial package if I can see it works on the following.
Thanks
Brian

Brian,
These look like lathe programs, is that right?
Scott

Yes they are lathe programmes
Brian,
My program does not convert lathe programs at this time. I will add it to the wish list.

Brian,
See if these will work for you.
Scott
Scott,
Sweet! Did you exchange the K-J and Z-Y? Lathe is a little more tricky. Some machines are radius X. Some are front lathes that have the circular G02-G03 inverted. Some I values are double. I started manual programming on a front lathe (Hardinge CHNC 1980 vintage). It was not until the company purchased a slant bed back lathe that I noticed the difference in programming of lathes and type.

Wayne,
I first plotted these with NCPlot then saved as DXF. When NCPlot saves a lathe program as a DXF it swaps the axes around so that the plot ends up on the XY plane.

Hi!
I recently downloaded your g-code to dxf program thinking it was the answer to my problems but then I realized that it wasnt for tap files. Does anyone know of a program that converts tap files to dxf files?
Thanks!
Megan
Megan,
Rename the file extension from tap to txt or whatever and it will work. A g code file is a plain text file.

Thanks so much!!! It worked great! Now we can get back a lot of files we lost!
I got my brother to write a programme that does it. He is still doing it but it works in testing. My needs are also to rotate part so I can put it into the CAM software so it faces the chuck the correct way. Also there are 400 parts in my file and it sorts them and outputs individual dxf files as well. Will post a copy when it is done if anyone is interested.
