    I guess it's a vb.net thing.

    Wayne,
    I have to thank you for the original program!
    today, I attempted to open a dxf to make some changes and the darn thing was corrupted. fortunately, I had posted it to a g-code file and was able recover my original stuff!

    Thanks!

    Switcher: Yes it is VB.NET thing. That's why we need bigger hardrives...

    I stopped using PowerBASIC and moved to Delphi. More toys to play with and lots more source files to compile an EXE.

    Bubba: Thank you. Glad to hear I did something right.

    Hi all

    I am fairly new to this forum. I have made some changes and additions to your source code Switcher. I started to add functions to use this program for Mill or Lathe.
    How do you upload the files to this thread?

    1) First, Zip all the source code up.

    2) You need to use the "Go Advanced" option (instead of the quick reply).

    3) Scroll down & click the "Manage Attachments" button (a pop-up window appears).

    4) Click the "Browse" button (in the pop-up window), select your zipped file.

    5) Then click the "Upload" button, make sure you wait until the "Current Attachments" appears & shows your zipped file name (in the pop-up window).

    6) Close the pop-up window & click the "Submit Reply" button, when your ready to post your message/file.

    Remember back in the day, when a 10gig hard drive was huge.

    I found a 1.5 terabyte hard drive at CompUSA, the other day, you can never have enough room for all that clutter...

    I added a small (cheapo) plotter, & another form to be able to swap axis for the RTB on the left (g-code only).

    Not much error handling. (chair)

    Thanks Switcher

    I have made some changes to the source as well as added in some functions. There is a small problem with converting some mill files. It will crash if the arcs are real small. I will look into this. I am going to rewrite this so that it is use's more of the .net functions and make it more faster for lager files. Over all it seems to work on most files. There is still alot more to add to it. You will see that I added a function to be able to use the AutoCad colour cababilities. I have made it that the lines, arcs are in different colours. I will automate this process later.

    Thanks for the compliment. As I said before it needs to be rewritten so that it is much easier to try and understand whats happening.

    I am a freelance software developer. I have been developing software for the CNC industry for some 25 years. Every thing from Editors, plotting, serial and usb communications, drill applications, code optimzation cam/cad etc for various company that I am not allowed to mention because of non discloser agreements etc. I program in several different languages.

    I am not a machinest, but have learned what it's all about from fellows like yourself who are in the industry over the years

    I also do alot of RFID programming for the CNC industry as well.

    I plan on putting together some other code snippets and uploading them for others to play with who are interested programming

    KWW,

    Nice. The G-Code to DXF program has been revised and improved beyond my expectations. I just slapped together the original source code and set it free. It is really taking shape.

    Hi Guys
    Just to let you know that I did not get lost. I have been on some well deserved vaction time. We also had a death in the family which was a travel out of the country. We hope to have an update on the Gcode2DXF for you all to try out in about a week.

    Cheers

    EXE file needed

    Hi All ,

    I am Anil from INDIA .

    I require the .exe file for the Gcode2DXF software.

    I have some old NC files generated from FANUC wireEDM software.
    I want it all of them to be converted back to DXF or DWG.

    Please anyone who has such a software please help me.

    ( I do not have VB to create the EXE from the Source Code file )

    Please reply back to [email protected]

    Thanks in Advance,
    Anil.S

    You don't need Vb.net to run the program, you will need "Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0" (Download & install this If it's not already on your PC before you run the Gcode2DXF).


    After you download the .Net Framework 2.0, then download the .Zip file here (latest version post #49).

    After you have the 2 downloads on your PC, unzip the "Gcode2DXF .zip file" & follow the path below to the program (assuming you downloaded the "Gcode2DXF .zip file" to the desktop).

    ...\Desktop\Convert DXF SourceCode\Convert DXF SourceCode\Convert_DXF\bin\Release\Convert_DXF

    :cheers:

    your app works very well. i'm exporting .nc files from mastercam. no problems on the conversion. they look sweet in Rhino when i'm looking at them.

    this will be a good tool in my architecture school. thanks!

    Ivan,

    Your file is in a rich text format. Use Wordpad to convert it to a plain text file.
    Then run the GCode2DXF conversion.

    Thank you,

    Wayne
