diptrace g code

I made a simple circuit in diptrace and the diptrace exported the following g-code file for drilling holes

How to convert to linuxcnc acceptable code ?
Can anyone to modify this code to working code ? After that i will understand the changes and i will write a script that makes diptrace nc drill files compatible with linuxcnc.

Hi,

There is not much there
M48 is to do with feed override in LCNC so irrelevant

Have to guess that next line sets units and the scale
METRIC,0000.00

G21 G17 is all you need here plus
G90 G40 G54 G8

Again guessing, that next line sets the diameter of tool 1
T01C1.1

Don't need that, it should be in your tool table and you are no applying compensation anyway

Don't need the percent sign %

T01 presumably equates to
M6T1
G43

Then you need to work out what these values actually are, ie where the decimal place is.

I am guessing that the scale given earlier means that
X+001635
means
X16.35

If the values make sense to you converted to that scale, just needs the rest of the program :laugh:

Quite honestly the output is so little you might as well just use the values as hole locations and write the rest, not much point trying to convert it.


Something like

If you just need to drill holes and know their location you can use my G code generator to get valid G code.

Being a work in slow progress not all the functions work but all the hole Ops functions including tapping work.

diptrace has option to output mach3 g code and the output of this function (same pcb) is

The locations are 10mm out from the last ones and all the commas should be decimal points,
but otherwise should run.

Try it in a simulator

All the machinists in the world know G code and they probably out number the programmers...
