    Question putting in decimal places.

    putting in decimal places is a very time consuming and brain draining job.
    I have a large number of posts like this e.g.

    N114 G56 H2 Z50000
    N116 Z10000
    N118 G1 Z-10000 F600.
    N120 Y47850
    N122 G3 X0 Y15950 I31900
    N124 G1 X50000
    N126 G2 X65950 Y0 J-15950
    N128 G1 Y-25000
    N130 G2 X50000 Y-40950 I-15950
    some of my controls won't read them and I need to change them to this e.g
    N114 G56 H2 Z50.
    N116 Z10.
    N118 G1 Z-10. F600.
    N120 Y47.85
    N122 G3 X0. Y15.95 I31.9
    N124 G1 X50.
    N126 G2 X65.95 Y0. J-15.95
    N128 G1 Y-25.
    N130 G2 X50. Y-40.95 I-15.95
    does anyone know of software that can do this for me?

    If these are exiting text files that you don't want to repost I can write a short program in Visual basic that will read your existing text file and convert the whole numbers to decimal numbers. I would take me a few days to get it right. I can e-mail the .exe file to you. PM me an example file.

    If you have Excel, etc, you can import your files into the spreadsheet and have the desired cells divided by 10 / 100 /1000 or what ever you need.

    Then just export your corrected data as text files.
