I run a CNC machine shop full time.
We always want the step files. Or SOLIDWORKS files etc.
And we make it own gcode from that.
It would be a nightmare to run someone else's gcode lol.
I'll have to agree Andrew. Most of the stuff on thingiverse for 3d
printers is in .stl formats, cura can usually make something useful out
of them. but its maddening to see an .stl that needs fixed, and I've not
found anything that can convert an .stl back into something that can be
edited in openscad. So I wind up about 95% of the time, using the image
as a guide to compose something that looks like it well enough to work.
Your last sentence is being far more PC that my feelings about it. But
at my age, I don't feel like wasting my time trying to fix OP idiocy, so
for linuxcnc, at least 75% of the contents of my nc_files directory is
code I wrote, and I'm overly fond of while loops, which can be only 1%
of the size of a cad programs 100% unrolled code. I have one example,
used to sharpen a 10" table saw blade, 90 lines, takes 3 days to run but
the resultant carbide tipped blade is 10x sharper and 10x longer lasting
than any blade you can buy new. Write it right once, use till the
storage dies. Whats not to love?

Hi Nicklas
Maybe you look for old style grid work planning
Maybe you look for templates for each d/m/d/t code to work in text editor
I remember older APT books showing the grid worksheets
You may find them in the APTOS archives of the wayback machine
https://sourceforge.net/projects/aptos/
( the autors moved thru many incarnation, now many work on FreeCad)
and maybe in

but I dount modern shop wants your gcode
they want a model
and will generate thier owm gcode

Starting to get a little bit harder to remember everything manually,
never worked in or submitted work to a workshop. Anyone with experience
have some good example how a CNC machining setup card should look like?
