Outside of Webcontrol I have successfully utilized GCODE Optimizer (xyzbots.com)
To make it show up in webcontrol the optimized gcode needs one extra step.
- open optimized gcode in notepad++ and replace all the lowercase commands to Uppercase.
- g to G, f to F, x to X, y to Y, z to Z.
- resave.
This new resaved .nc file will graphically show up in WebControl.
I have successfully cut multiple designs with separate roughing and detail nc files using this method. No issues thus far. Just make sure that you don’t mess up the command replacement… in other words do not mistakenly replace x with Y. Unable to really give details on how much time it saves since Easel wont let me re-import the new files (lame). But the travel paths look way more efficient. + when the cut is done it just stops at its last point and will not return home. For what I do… that is never necessary.
