In looking at the wiki APT page: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AptProgrammingForEMC
there is a link: http://www.nfrpartners.com/nfraptlang.htm What comes to mind is that APT may not be easier for simple g-code tasks, but if one had a part where features are connected, such as the example with connected arcs, if one feature is changed, APT automatically changes related features(?). Plus it seems to handle 3D features, which to me doesn't seem reasonable to do with hand g-coding. It looks like APT360 is usable, it might be worth while to formulate ways to make it more convenient to use, and go from there. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
