    g-code path visualization ...

    hey there !

    i got a question... i study architecture and now, for my diploma, i'm programming some cnc code directly out of autodesk's «maya».

    here's a work in progress version of the script that can be run directly.
    http://www.jumpgates.com/matthias/ME...illCode_V7.zip
    the code itself should be ok only the starting point right above the first coordinate is not yet programmed. (the code is printed in the ScriptEditor.)

    can someone please post a link to a freeware path visualization application that shows me any possible problems visually ?

    if interested: some (art-)work i did before...

    The display uses whatever units your program is in. It simply scales to fit your programmed dimensions.
