dnc4U has an extremely simple
to use and clutter free interface, designed especially with
non-computer literate CNC operators in mind. There are just
a few large icons, with all of these operations duplicated
by function keys.
The dnc4U editor can be setup with any color and any font,
and in addition you can setup all the alphabetic letters to
be color coded so that the different parts of your code can
be highlighted and so make reading the code even easier.
You can open multiple files into the editor, but rather than
have windows floating about all over the place, they are neatly
shown at full size with their own tab button below. This makes
navigating between open files so much easier. There is no
limit to the number of files that can be opened, and the maximum
sized file that can be edited is approx 100 Megabytes, although
this does depend on your computer specification and available
memory.

Because dnc4U is Windows based,
there is no limit to the filesize like in the old DOS systems.
All standard editing features such as cut, copy, paste, find
and replace are obviously there, along with many more specific
NC code functions.

Resequence
The resequence option is extremely flexible allowing you to
not only resequence your code to any increment but also to
exclude the "N", as for example, Heidenhain code.
You can choose to ignore blocks that start with specific characters,
and if you use sub-programs, you can restart the sequence
numbers again. You can store these formats for each CNC so
you don't have to keep altering them each time you use a different
CNC...

Reformat Code
You can mass edit your NC code so that all the XYZABCF blocks
are reformatted to a different number of decimal places. This
is useful if you need to transfer code from one CNC to another.

Other Tools
These tools are designed to reduce the filesize for those
CNC that have very limited amounts of memory
Desequence Code - Remove all "N" from your code
- saves memory space on your CNC
Remove Spaces From Code - again saves memory - but difficult
to read
Insert Spaces Into Code - inserts all the spaces back to make
the code more readable
Remove Blank Lines - tidies the code up and removes all blank
lines - saves space on the CNC memory
