PROCNCDraw is an application that creates CAM files (gcode) from CAD files (DXF, gerber, drill etc.).

All CNC (Computerised Numerical Control) machines work with G code. This is simple text code. From idea to object, processing chain usually follows three steps : design using CAD (Computer Aided Design) software, this is the step where you draw the object. Second step is generation of G code which is done by CAM software (Computer Aided Manufacturing). And at last a CNC driver (Computerised Numerical Control) to drive the machine (mill or lathe) that will produce the final shape.

PRO CNC Draw combine CAD and CAM steps. It is very simple and good software to draw and generate G code for 2,5D objects. This is the most common task to any mill machine. It is so easy to work with the intuitive software so any beginner can work with it. There is no need of any deep mechanical knowledge.

PROCNCDraw is an application that creates CAM files (gcode) from CAD files (DXF, gerber, drill etc.).
Or PROCNCDraw can generate gcode from its own internal editor.
You can draw directly in PROCNCdraw - lines, circles etc.

What can do PRO CNC DRAW:

- Draw text, lines, circles;
- Import dxf files (ASCII format AutoCAD R9);
- Export dxf files (ASCII format AutoCAD R9) (so you can load and edit dxf and export dxf);
- Import gerber files (for milling PCBs);
- Set tool diameter, depth and passes to reach depth;
- Import DRILL (text) file for drilling PCBs;
- Import text G code file; - Export text G code file; - Set toolpath (tool compensation)- center line, outside or inside --> tool diameter correction;
- 2.5D pocketing operations with auto island detection;

Example of gerber import

Drills can be just holes. Or all drills can be milled with a tool with set diameter. On picture 2 gray line is toolpath outside contur. On picture 3 gray line is toolpath inside contur.

Example DXF file import

Generated G code is compatible with any controller. It looks like this:
