To be able to run the back plot on the PC that i have the CAM software on to see
how the g-code run, so i don't have to start the CNC pc that i have
i think it are very useful for this, and important that the sim are run on the sam
program that you will run the code in for the cut

is this not needed ?

be a beginner in this CAM, CNC, G-code

I' just trying to make life easy

Thanks to help from Jeff Epler
