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 60 Megabytes, although
this does depend on your computer specification and available
memory.

Simply toggle between the DNC
icons and the Editor icons by clicking on the tab.

|

|
| |
Simply right-mouse click and all
the most important features are there ready to use.

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.

CNC Code Tools
There are many useful tools for editing or mass changing your
nc code.
|
| |
|
| |
|

|

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...

Axis Transformation
You can mass edit your NC code so that all the axes are changed.
You have speeds, feeds and all axes. There are operators +
- / * as well as +% -% INCH>MM MM>INCH and MIRROR

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.

Split Files
If you have saved all your files out of your CNC library into
one gigantic NC file, you no longer have to cut and paste
all these files into individual files. dnc4U will take the
large file and split into individual files using the program
name or the comment on the program number block as the filename.
This feature can literally save days of cutting and pasting.
It works on Fanucs, Haas and most of these similar types.
It works on Heidenhain and Okumas too.

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
Trim Lines - Often code from a Fanuc has useless spaces at
the end of blocks.
Capitalize - How often have you typed in code and realised
it's in lower case ? This forces upper case all the time.
Reverse Capitals - How often have you been in upper case and
thought you were in lower case, reverse capitals with this
feature.
