Re: NP++ with 3D backplot
Yep, I've used that as well. Just thought it handy to have the code right there at the same time, because when the situation arises that I need to restart a large 3D file, I'll delete all previous code and just rerun the file as normal instead of searching and restarting.
On the updated feature side if things, I never use "Run time graphics". While it's mainly an eye candy kind of thing to look at, it's due to the implementation of it that I don't enable it. If it was something like what UCCNC uses, along with scrolling code, then I'd enable it. This screen can be panned, rotated, and zoomed while the job is running. The yellow cone is not tied to tool size and it follows the code, as well as path color changing per line of code. I'm sure it must use a few more processor cycles, but if a Mach3 clone like UCCNC can make it work....

Re: NP++ with 3D backplot
Can we add the estimated run time as a count down or similar? Like time left. Maybe in conjunction with an elapsed time (Running time, not time since last cycle start).
Thx

Re: NP++ with 3D backplot
yeah! i have that on the list.
fyi estimated run time is already in the CNC12 g code backplot graphics it is accurate and takes into account the accel decell settings of your machine!
compare a drilling file time estimation from cad/cam for the same file on cnc12 you will see a big difference.

Re: NP++ with 3D backplot
Thx Keith, yes, I know it's there if you want to look at it before the Op, but think it should be on the run time screen. Glad it's on the list.
There is a HUGE difference between my CAMs estimation and typical time taken on drilling Ops. I have to use peck and retract drilling due to lack of rigidity and I don't think the CAM estimation takes any of that into account. So, its way off.
