    bobcam v12.5.2

    I am curious how you get the cad model part of the software to visually show g code manually writein by hand in the other section of the software?

    We have a cnc mill table that we write alot of g code to run a cutout of a trach can lid, but i cannot get it to show me the line cuts or cut paths int he cad model side of the software. I did not make a 3d model of any of this again it is all writen in manuall hand code.
    Thanks Alot

    Assuming you mean v21.
    On the Cam side, highlight the code you want to backplot (CTRL+A if you want it all)
    While it's still highlighted, select Edit > Geometry from NC.

    Should produce toolpath on Cad screen.

    Good luck,
