The Leftward (G41) option compensates tool radius on the left of the trajectory. The Off (G40) option discards tool radius compensation. Includes a contour in the G-code precessing list.Ĭhanges tool direction from the start point along the selected contour. These settings are displayed in the preview pane.

The tab includes additional tool settings: tool direction, lead in/lead out method, tool radius compensation. The context menu is called with the right mouse button. The user can select the required contour by clicking on it in the preview pane. The display of elements in the preview pane can be adjusted on the Color legend tab of the G-code settings window. The opened drawing, the workpiece zero point, the start point of the tool movement, tool direction, the tool lead in/lead out method and the tool are displayed in the preview pane. Only contours selected with a check mark in the contour list will be converted. To change the contour position use the context menu. You can indicate the sequence in which the contours will be processed in the Processing queue window. Generates a control program from the drawing in the G-code format. Enables to change the order of contour processing.Ĭonvert to G-code. The option is available only for closed contours. To set a point, select a contour in the preview pane. Sets a new start point on the selected contour. The file will be saved with the NC extension.

In the opened window enter the output file name and click Save. G-code will be generated automatically.Ħ. To generate G-code for a laser machine select the required machine type in the G-code settings window on the General tab.ĥ. By default ABViewer generates a control program for a milling machine. If you do not need to convert any particular contours, open the Processing queue window and uncheck them.Ĥ. By default all drawing contours are converted. On the Output tab in the Conversion group select the CAD to G-code command.ģ. Open a DWG/DXF file and edit it if required.Ģ. To convert a file to G-code use the following instruction:ġ. The following entities can be converted to G-code: lines, polylines, circles, arcs, ellipses, splines, texts, multiline texts and hatch. G-code files are generated directly from DWG/DXF drawings. The program allows creating a control program (CP) in the G-code file format for CNC machines.
