Mazatrol
Off-Line Editor
MazaCAM also includes the Mazatrol Off-Line Editor.
The Editor lets users write new, or edit existing Mazatrol programs. Because
the Mazatrol Off-Line Editor is a Windows based application, it takes
full advantage of the Windows features such as copy/paste and pop-up menus.
Some features the Editor gives the user are additional to those on the
Mazatrol control. Here is a brief overview of the Mazatrol Off-Line Editor:
- Cut and paste between programs
- individual lines
- a Mazatrol process-unit
- a shape
- the entire program
- Insert lines
- like the Mazak
- before the current line
- after the current line
- Plot the part shape, similar to 'shape check' on
the Mazatrol control, except the Editor automatically highlights the
geometry of the part you have placed your cursor at.
- Pop-up menus prompt you through the programming process
- Scroll bars help you navigate swiftly through your
program
- Mazatrol prompting helps you write your Mazatrol
program by defining what data is needed for the field you are entering
the value for
- Backplot Mazatrol programs to a Geopath CAD file,
at this point the program is converted as geometry in a CAD file with
tooling information, then the CAD file can be output as G-code for other
machine (a full MazaCAm package is required to do this)
Although these are only some of the features,
the benefits are vitually endless. The purpose of the Mazatrol Off-line
Editor is to significantly accelerate the programming process, so you
spend less time programming parts and more time cutting them. For a complete
