General Mach Discussion / Re: How to create customized drawing of G-code?

Friends, I found a solution: I call the browser using CreateObject in m1s and pass the data to it for drawing.

But I need to get the data about a loaded g-code and custom draw it.

You can make a drawing of a gcode program. This is called backplotting. It basically provides the instructions to
the CAD software on how to draw each coded line. So you get a drawing  of the pathing. You can buy a backplotter program  like NC Plot ($300) or some others.
I use a custom backplotter ( sorry,  can't  share it ).

I looked, NCPlot is a independent program.

I have the my independent program for viewing g-code.

But I need to integrate it into Mach3 (or create new program for Mach3).

Thanks for your reply!

Can you tell me more information about this?

How did you develop your custom backplotter?

I think you are expecting too much from Mach3 which is just a Machine Controller - it does not have a CAD function as such.

Tweakie.

I do not expect Mach3 to do it for me. I want to make the program myself (for example, in Visual Basic or Visual C ++) for customized drawing.

Thank you!

This is need for the machine operator.

Tell me, please, how to create customized drawing of G-code?

How can I do this in Mach3?

I'm going to do this via m1s-script, but I can not find the graphics commands.


Like this:



Or in window:
