It's important to consider my words only in the context of a NC editor.

#NCPLOT NEWEST VERSION SOFTWARE#

these are some of the problems with the software world.

so it's a dead end: If you don't pay for maintenance, you can't get it, if you do, you don't get what you need. but honestly I feel the maintenance $$$ we put on CIMCO-Edit is not returned as it should in regards functionality. I'm all for maintenance fees as a way to allow the vendor to improve the product and offer me responsive technical support. everytime our programmers have to renumber 50 tools in a program I think about how easy it is for a developer to put a tool to handle that in that menu. that's why sometimes I vent my frustrations with the CAx world: Once they hook you up the honeymoon is gone.ĬIMCO-Edit gets some fixes and small enhancements every now and then, but their NC functions menu don't get a brand new tool for what, 2-3 years? The last thing they put there was a multi-channel synch tool - It's a shame. It's just too sad, because we have a big infrastructure around CIMCO software here with nearly all modules and products: DNC-Max, NC-Base, MDC-Max, CNC-Calc, Cimco-Edit, etc. It's more expensive than most them and delivers less. their editor is no longer equally competitive when compared to other NC editors out there, such as Inplot, NCPlot, G-Wizard G-Code Editor, etc. a very nice UI, but they slowed drastically the pace of the development in the past years and are living from the reputation they built for CIMCO-Edit in the past. So in the end CIMCO-Edit is their only technical weakness currently.ĬIMCO-Edit is also a good product and very well integrated with NC-Base and DNC-Max. maybe Predator and CIMNET are not so far, but definetely they don't offer some great small tools that DNC-Max do. In regards DNC, although there are many tools out there too, I highly doubt they have the same capabilities of DNC-Max. NC-Base efficiency is result of years of experience and customer driven R&D. I think NCPlot would have to put a ton of development to come up with a PDM right now. For turning toolpaths, Inplot from looks better I think.ĭaniel - it maybe worth you dropping Scott an email to ask what he has planned and timeframes etc? If you are looking for a NC program editor only, NCPlot looks very good IMHO. This tool can also be used to view or set variable values.

Convert R specified arcs to or from I / J / K specified arcsīreak arcs at quadrants or into a series of line segments Convert absolute I / J / K arc center coordinates to or from incremental I / J / K Address Swap: Exchange any two program addresses Address Remove: Unnecessary addresses and their values can be removed Address Replace: Good for changing axis names, A to B, etc. MultiStep Translate makes multiple copies of part features while applying translations, eliminating tedious copy and pastingĬonvert coordinates between absolute and incremental commands

If they had the excellent DNC and PDM integration that CIMCO does with DNC-Max / NC-Base I would not hesitate to buy a few seats. Many people including myself have been asking CIMCO for some things there for years to no avail. but are in the confort zone with one of their best products - CIMCO-Edit.Īnd I have told this to them many times, so no problem in ranting I think.Įverytime I visit the list of NCPlot functionalities I'm just jealous. they have the right people and a very solid code. I've been told for several months that they will put more R&D into it but looks like part of our maintenance $$$ for CIMCO-Edit is going somewhere else.

We have 25 seats of Cimco-Edit here, 10 of them are the professional version. we've to deal with problems in this area and the developers already told us they won't fix it. Turning in CIMCO-Edit is the same for nearly a decade. Even a small company like i-logic is offering more for the value. Cimco has the best looking but I think they're behind in technology.
