Menu Functions
4. Menu Functions
NcEditor includes such menus as file menu, edit menu, view menu, draw menu, object menu, mach
menu and help menu, which will be introduced separately as follows.
4.1. File Menu
File menu comprises various operation commands related to machining files, such as [New], [Open],
[Import File], etc, as follows:
[New (Ctrl + N)]
Used for creating a new NcEditor file (.nce).
[Open (Ctrl + O)]
The menu item is used for opening a NCE file generated by our system and loading it into the program
interpolation buffer zone of the system. Then the parsing engine will parse buffered data into
instructions, and transfer these instructions to CNC card.
[Import File (Ctrl + I)]
This menu item is used to open files of all other formats supported by the system,
like .G, .NC, .DXF, .ENG, .PLT. This function will overwrite all previously loaded files and perform auto
combination and deleting points for the currently loaded file. After this menu item is selected, an [Open]
dialog will pop up, as shown in Fig. 4-1. Select a machining file, and then check [Preview] to preview
the file in this dialog. Pressing
―Open‖ will load the file automatically; the file name will appear on the
title bar, which is clear at a glance.
If files of unsupported format are opened, warning box
―File error‖ will pop up.
