    Advertisement? Hardly anything new, NCPlot (and others) will do these kind of "cleanup" conversions, and it's a great back plotter also. Yes I watched the video. I have a number of similar tools, including scaling tools. I my opinion messing with g-code is way more cumbersome and risky than re-posting clean from cam. If you have proven posts then re-posting to different machines is a non issue. One issue I see with g-code manipulation is that they rarely take into account tool library variations between machines. At present I maintain 8 post processor for my environment, all started with generic posts but none were 100% to my liking. This DX32 post was by far the most work because rigid tapping, LH tapping, and WCS were all missing from the generic post. Now that it's clean... I can post with confidence.
