Guys,
i'm looking for some software i can use on a PC that will read variables and give me visual feedback so i can check/verify the programs before i load it into the machine. i currently use G & M programming and use XDNCeditor to read the code and can backplot each line of code while verifying each one. we are going to variables to make it easier for the technicians on the floor to edit the programs without forgetting the little things like radii and angles when they need to move a length or diameter. our shop is full of Okuma lathes so thats all i need at this point. i would rather check the programs at my desk and make the adjustments opposed to loading each program in the machine and machine locking it to check every little detail on the floor. any help will be appreciated. here is a little example of a very "rough draft" program to show you what i'm currently looking at. i'm not going to list the entire program.
