Tech Tuesday is a weekly blog that addresses some of the most common questions and concerns that I hear throughout the previous week from users of BobCAD’s CAM software. Both customers and future customers are more than welcome to leave a comment on what they would like to see covered for the following Tech Tuesday.
This week we are going to cover the Standard NcEditor in BobCAD-CAM V31 (replacing Predator Editor). Thanks in large to us working hand-in-hand with ModuleWorks, BobCAD-CAM’s new NcEditor is a step into the future of modern manufacturing. Our new editor, just like Predator Editor in previous versions, comes standard in our CAM software & is available for upgrade (Pro NcEditor).
Standard NcEditor
As our longtime users may be familiar with in previous versions, Predator Editor was basically just Notepad with DNC capabilities. So, what happened when people wanted to use syntax highlighting or adjust feedrates, and spindle speeds without having to search through the code? You needed the Pro Editor from BobCAD. Put that in the past with V31; in the new NcEditor, all of this and more is available in the Standard version!

In the new NcEditor, users are equipted with an intuitive user interface called the Job Setup. The job setup, which is set automatically when launched from BobCAD-CAM allows you to also easily set up older programs by allowing you to create a new job setup to use, save job setups to use later, select a machine, assign a target part & set its color and assign stock geometry & set its color.
