Can any of you guys out there tell me how to and/or if it is possible to convert ".iso" cnc g-code(w/no decimals) to g-code my Fanuc 0C wire EDM can read(with decimals)?.....or tell me where to put the decimals and I'll do it that way.

Thanks for reading this.
 
It depends a little on the type of machine it was posted for. Mits wire edm posts for espirit will put out 4 decimal places with no decimals becuase that is how the controls are configured. for example, if I wanted to move 1" the code could be G1 x10000 or G1 x1.0. Without a part print to verify the dimensions and scaling, it will be difficult to do. Why don't you just re porgram it for your fanuc? most wire programs are not that complex. The biggest thing you have to watch for is the z planes for tapering. I have no idea of how the fanuc does this. in Mits, it is variables z1-z5.
