I hope this is in the correct forum. I bought some stamping dies and received a disk with nc files for the two pieces I need to produce the parts needed for the dies. I am unsure if the files are for a water jet laser etc as they are in a formatt my machine cant interp. Is there someone here that could take a look at the files and just generate a couple of dxf files of the two parts so I can generate usable gcodes for my machine?

I changed the ext fron .nc to .txt to attach



Thanks for any help

Hi!
Here are converted files in DXF...
I made them with my little utility (Link). You should give it a try!

Hope this helps.

Actually it should easy for you to get what you need from the above .txt files that you posted.

Just open the .txt file & delete the code thats not g-code.

Then open in www.ncplot.com , & edit the code by hand.

Example below:

I'll second that, NCPlot is a great tool.

Yes, NC-plot is a great tool for preview/backplot! But free version is really a basic release and lacks a lot of features: DXF export, in particular, which is needed for the job discussed here. Beyond that, even with last V2.02 I tried, DXF export didn't look really good (entities missing), that's why I developped simple software (but not that basic...) I told about a few posts above. I offer it free and it definately deserves a try...

...As resequence software I post a few months ago, does: It's much more complete than all softwares I found until now. I think it should be really useful for people who are mainly programming with hand and/or tweaking programs after CAM post-processing (Tiger/Fanuc/Num controllers).
