G-code window in ABViewer
Generated G-code
With ABViewer, you can generate G-code for a milling, cutting, laser or lathe machine and save it as a NC, NGC, GCODE, NCP file.
In the Properties window, you can specify additional parameters for contour generation, including radius compensation, lead in and lead out.
G-code settings
In the G-code settings window, you can select the machine type, its feed rate, specify tools and other parameters to customize G-code to your particular manufacturing process.
Processing Queue
In the Processing Queue window, you can set the sequence in which the contours will be processed.

How to generate G-code from DWG/DXF files?

2.Open your file. If you need to edit it, use the tools on the Editor tab.
3.On the Output tab select the CAD to G-code command.
4.In the opened G-code window, configure all the necessary settings. You can find more information about it here.
5.Click the Convert button. Please note that by default ABViewer generates G-code for a milling machine. You can change the machine type in the G-code settings window on the General tab.
6.To save the generated G-code click the Save G-code button. The file will be saved with an NC extension.
