Interactive editor

Interactive editor of the NC program.

The given editor is intended for building a part contour by which a NC program will be generated in order to produce this part. The editor has the following capabilities:

• contour building (graphic mode);
• text mode (after the program is generated).

Also, before the program is generated - it is possible to edit the part cutting technology, namely, to anchor to every primitive the corresponding technological process, providing for each part of the blank part what instrument it should be processed with. After all these manipulations it is possible to check whether the program works correctly by loading it to run in the 3D visualizer; without leaving the program (editor). In case something in the process is not suitable or does not concur with the expected result, it is possible to edit the technological cycles or contour parameters in the editor tools which are provided just for this case, then to start the 3D visualizer again to check the results.

In order to edit the technological cycles, which are anchored to the corresponding place on the blank part, a technological editor is provided.

After the program is generated it can be edited and saved to the CNC.

These buttons become accessible after sets the contour starting point. For convenience the scaling ability is provided. If the "line" primitive is selected - the direction of the line end point is displayed on the buttons, which is set by 2 axes (X, Z). The line can also be constructed by length.

The following tools are provided for the graphic mode:

• construction of the "line" primitive;
• construction of the "curve" primitive;
