GWizard: G-Code Editor
G-Wizard Editor is a G-code editor and simulator from CNCCookbook that backplots CNC programs, explains each line and checks for errors.
G-Code Editor
The G-Code Editor from CNCCookbook is a software solution that enables users to create, edit, check and simulate G-Code files. It combines a text editor with a toolpath simulator, so every change in the program can be seen on the backplot. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced CNC programmer, the G-Code Editor helps you understand what your G-Code files do before they run on a machine.
GWizard: G-Code Editor allows users to create, edit, and troubleshoot G-Code quickly and easily.
Features:
• Create and edit G-Code files from scratch or open existing programs.
• Generate simple parts such as bolt circles and holes with conversational wizards.
• Visualize the toolpaths as a backplot in perspective, top, front and right views.
• Check G-Code for syntax errors and problems such as a missing spindle start.
• Plain English hints explain what every line of G-Code does.
• Machine and controller post processors for different G-Code dialects.
• Support for macros, subprograms and variables.
• Soft limit alarms warn about axis overtravel on a selected machine.
• Cycle time estimates adjusted for machine acceleration.
• Information tabs list tools, macros and program statistics.
• Arc center, radius and angle calculations.
The G-Code Editor is a useful tool for checking and learning CNC programs. It was offered with a 30-day free trial, but CNCCookbook no longer sells it and now recommends the CutViewer simulator instead.
