tkCNC Editor

tkCNC Editor is a text editor, specially designed for editing of CNC code (G-code) for CNC machines.

It is used by CNC programmers and operators for fast editing and verification of CNC code. tkCNC Editor version 3.0 has implemented these functions:

- MDI (Multiple document interface) – allows editing of multiple CNC documents

- Improved and fast G-code syntax highlighting

- Unlimited Undo/Redo

- Print Preview – Preview CNC documents preview before printing

- All standard text editor functions such as Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Select All...

- Fast CNC Program renumbering

- Find/Replace function with special features for CNC code searching

- Fast points import from AutoCAD

- Generator of circular and rectangular point patterns (coordinates)

- Smart CNC code templates - smart reuse of your CNC code

- Various operations with CNC code registers such as: mirroring, renumbering, translation, 2D and 3D rotation, mathematical operations (+, -, *, /), sorting etc.

- Improved conversion of CNC code from polar to Cartesian system and Cartesian to Polar

- Absolute to incremental and incremental to absolute conversion

- option for reversing toolpath direction

- CNC code registers swapping

- CNC code registers sorting (order in block)

- Stripping of block numbers

- improved 3D toolpath simulation/verification with possibility of toolpath export in DXF file

- Editing of 2D machining contour visually and conversion from DXF to G-code in a few clicks

- new machine wizard for definition of new machines

- Degrees conversion from Degrees/Minutes/Seconds format to decimal format and vice versa

- Automated CNC documents merging

- 'QuickCalc' function implemented in text editor window for quick calculation of simple mathematical expressions directly in code

- File comparison with ExamDiff
