VERICUT Configure an NC Control

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/302209.html

This session demonstrates how to customize an NC Control file to simulate how various
G-Code words and data formats that will be processed by an NC machining center. The
sample "modify_control.mcd" tool path file contains many conditions that are commonly
addressed via control customization, for example:
Differing word formats
Unaccounted for special characters that performs NC control functions
Variances in actions performed by specific G-Code word/values
Addressing unsupported G-Code word/values
The step at the end of the session shows how to save the control configuration in a
Control file. A project file containing a reference to the Control file is also saved enabling
VERICUT to be easily configured to interpret the G-Codes in this and similar tool path
files destined for the machining center. The default system configuration is for a 3-axis
mill, but also contains a variety of possibly unwanted job-related data. To begin control
configuration for use in VERICUT it is recommended to load a generic Project file so
that configuration begins from a known state, and without extraneous job data.
