Python open .NGC was created by Donno
I am using linuxcnc command to do few commands for an external control panel i am building so far it is easy to use

l = linuxcnc.command()
l.program_open("/cnc/linuxcnc/nc_files/examples/3D_Chips.ngc")

For some unknown reason i cannot open file in python. I have checked permission, set different path, am i doing something wrong ?

It seems like the file is opening

l.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MDI)
l.program_open("/home/cnc/Desktop/donno_external_arduino/3D_Chips.ngc")
os.system("axis-remote --reload ")
l.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MANUAL)

I can even run the file but there is no g-code displayed, no g-code drawing



The image shows that is is running g-code program

Any way to display it on screen and lines being executed ?

Can't say as I've ever seen it do that before.

That file opens and shows the code and preview properly for me.

If I press o [Shortcut Key] it opens correctly but if open it through Python program_open() then it does that ! I have even os.system("axis-remote --reload ") but still the same. I edit file and program_open it and run g-code still same but new file executes must be a BUG :)

Oops, I didn't really read your question good enough. And I don't know enough about programming to answer it myself, but it looks like your question might be answered here.

I have read that Forum if you look at my code i do use the os.system("axis-remote --reload ")

I used that to fix a problem i was having when i G10 L20 P1 X0Y0Z0 and the display did not update the File after using :

os.system("axis-remote --reload ")

It was fixed but when program_open() there is no effect.

I think you need to use "axis-remote" to load your file, instead of "program_open".

I can't say exactly how you would use it in python, but from the command line, the command is just "axis-remote filename". For example to open the 3D-Chips.ngc file on my test machine, the command is.
axis-remote ~/linuxcnc/nc_files/examples/3D_Chips.ngc

instead of using
c.program_open("foo.ngc")
use
os.system ("axis-remote foo.ngc")
