Post by califcarver »

I have saved my toolpath and then modified it in notepad. now is there a way to move the toolpath back into aspire to run a simulation to view my changes.

I have not seen any option to load a g code file into Aspire.

Suggest you do a google search for things like cnc code plotter, backplotter, etc.

Your profile says that you have a Shopbot? The shopbot control software has a preview mode (written by Vectric) that will load g-code as well as the native shopbot code.

Why are you amending the code? It might be that it's something you can change/do differently in Aspire.
