    Preview for DX-32

    I am using Discriminator to write part programs for our Explorer DX-32.

    The plotting feature of discriminator does a great job of showing what is going on step by step - except it does not plot the Bridgeport canned cycles.

    Is there any way to do this?

    I can use the Preview feature on the machine, but it is buggy and it would be a convenience to do it at the computer.

    In the glory days of Bridgeport was any such thing available? Any way to get it now?

    Thanks, John

    DX32 had a enhanced performance option that included Windows 3.1 and NCVIEW which was a solid modeling program. Funny though that it converted the Bridgeport code to FANUC and then did the solid modeling for you at the machine. This was a option.

    George,

    Thank you for your reply and also your help in getting our machine up and running over the past 18 months.

    Is there any way to get a copy of NC-View?

    No idea. Never looked. Try Google/bing.
