Backplot editor with tape to shape.

[Verndog]

You used to be able to reverse post an NC program in V8 and prior to get GEO from and old NC program. Mastercam decided this wasn't useful and eliminated it. I cant load V8 into win 7 now and would like an editor that will backplot and save GEO via IGES or some importable type.

 

Any suggestions on something you've seen or used??

Inplot will backplot and save as DXF.

Follow this link, there is a nice utility to download there.

V9 will still reverse post. That is the only reason I still have V9 installed. You need to edit the post text file to include the "&Reverse", line in Menu 1. This is for RPFAN.txt.

 

That will add the Reverse option to the menu when you go into NC Utilities to post...

I had V9 setup to reverse also a while back, but forgot how I got it to run...thanks for the tip Colin. Problem is, V9 wont run properly in win 7 either.

 

I'll try that link.

 

I saw an editor a few years ago that would backplot on screen step by step, then had save GEO option...possibly Preditor or Multi DNC??...not sure.

NC Plot can save the all the code as .dxf geometry or just what you have selected. Check out the website. NC Plot
