this works on lathes only? i couldn't get it to work correctly anyway.
it opens, but a shorter version then your pic. great job though

No, it works with any EMC config. It just depends on what subroutine you load with it. Also the display changes with different subroutines to match the variables in the subroutine.

well, i got it to load and i entered all the parameters,
i get the error "no application named "axis"".
gone alooking again

I assume you have to have Axis loaded before you run the g code GUI...

Thanks, i tried it both ways(emc started and not), got error on
both. at home now and can't test anything.

I just noticed with ngcgui you can load several different subfiles to create a complete program... Dam that is neat.

Load a subfile, set the parameters then "Create Feature" then load the next subfile and continue until done then "Finalize"

Hello John,

Just wanted to let you know I have started using your lathe subroutines on my lathe, just the ticket when you need to knock out something quickly. Thanks for posting them.

I noticed on Dewey Garrett's site that ngcgui can be embedded in an axis tab. Have you tried that?
