So is it a compiler? ... No I think its best described as a specialized interpreter.
I simply wondered if CAD systems typically generated readable and editable G code.
Ready for it?
No. Cad generates pretty pictures. CAM generates g-code (or other code
possibly).
------------------
The electronic design CAD systems I'm familiar with could export the line vectors and properties or circuit connections behind the pretty pictures in an ASCII text file that the CAM program from another company with different expertise could accept, sometimes after tweaking. The text file format was different from G or Gerber code but the two could be related, element by element.
Have you tried Notepad++?
Sorry if I don't know all the proper CAD or CAM terms. I sketch parts on paper as I learned in Jr High when my antique machines were new and don't have even a DRO on them.
I've played with Notepad++ a few times. I like it for searching out code phrases/blocks in php scripts for "repairs" and mods.
