G-Code Generator

Configure an operation, preview its toolpath and export machine-specific G-code.

Available controls

Tornos, Citizen and Traub workflows are available. Modules depend on the selected model and installed axes.

1. Add facing before the contour?

Choose this first. Facing is emitted once after all roughing passes and immediately before the finish contour.

2. DXF import → smart automatic turning G-code

Upload a turning DXF built from LINE, ARC, CIRCLE, ELLIPSE, SPLINE, LWPOLYLINE, or POLYLINE entities. The importer detects units, plane, axial/radial axes and radius-versus-diameter, ignores unrelated construction layers, closes small CAD gaps, and orders the production contour from the front/chamfer endpoint.

DXF axis / diameter mode

The importer auto-selects a production layer and contour, but every layer and disconnected contour stays available for manual correction. The T14-style tiny endpoint gap and unrelated Default-layer line are handled automatically. Use Reverse only when the preview starts from the wrong end, then verify the first production part.

Roughing mode

Standard repeats the contour with decreasing allowance. Smart clips roughing to the raw-stock envelope and skips air-cut sections.

Tool radius compensation

For production, G42/G41 with the control tool offset is recommended. In manual mode the program adds 2R to X because X is diameter.

Tool nose radius R (mm)

With G42/G41 this is informational; the real correction comes from the control offset.

Angle output with Q

Tornos: Q replaces one axis; it is not emitted together with both X and Z. Choose Z+Q or X+Q. Moving to a larger diameter outputs Q- (for example Q-45 / Q135 equivalent); moving to a smaller diameter outputs Q+.

Manual Q angle (deg)

For Tornos: Q is emitted only on sloped lines and replaces X or Z depending on your selection. Larger diameter = Q-, smaller diameter = Q+. In manual mode enter the exact Q value, e.g. -45 or 135.
