CNC Syntax Editor is a software for writing, editing, and studying CNC programs with G codes. After installing CNC Syntax Editor, start it from the "Start->Programs" group. Select the "File->Open" menu item if you want to edit existing CNC software or select select "File->New" if you want to create new NC program. Now you can simpy type you G code in the editor window.

CNC Syntax Editor operates as a multiple windows NC programming environment allowing for edit, change, upload and download programs to numerically controlled

device. The software is capable of all types of ASCII CNC files and G codes, ensuring optimum performance even on those larger files.

CNC Syntax Editor can highlight a software syntax: commands, coordinates etc, visually splits commads and coordinates into groups, that help you to develop NC programs. Due to highly configurable options it is possible to set CNC Syntax Editor up the way which suits best for your editor needs.

Another outstanding feature of CNC Syntax Editor is the set of built-in tools. Thanks to set it is possible to mirror you coordinates, shift or scale axes value, switch axes etc.

CNC Syntax Editor is a software for writing and editingof Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programs. It has a comfortable and intuitive interface both for beginners and advanced programmers. CNC Syntax Editor is deceptively simple, but it is really a very strong tool. The size and number of documents open at any one time is limited only by the amount of available Windows memory.

While most of the menu commands are common to many text editors, the "Tools" menu is useful for a CNC programmer to simplify tasks such as scaling, mirroring and renumbering blocks of code. Syntax colouring of text helps make the code easier to read, as does the capability to quickly insert spaces before words. The spaces can also be quickly removed so as to shrink the size of large files.

The capability to open multiple documents at one time enables the user to copy text from one file to another, merge files into one, or just look up an older software to help get the code format for a particular application.

In this manual the terms "document", "file", and "text file" refer to the text files that contain the CNC program.

CNC Syntax Editor Features:
1. CNC intelligent editing with Undo and Redo. Dozens of CNC intelligent editing commands make changes to your CNC software quickly and easily. Edit confidently with the capability to undo and redo the last 1024 changes. Predator Editor includes Microsoft Word compatible menus, toolbar, and shortcut keys making it easy to learn;
2. Unlimited file size. The CNC Syntax Editor supports up to 2 GB of code per CNC program. In addition, editing multiple CNC programs at the same time is supported, with the capability to cut, copy, and paste between them;
3. File compare. CNC Syntax Editor includes a side by side file compare which identifies each line difference. CNC Editor uses the WinDiff software that is provided by Microsoft;
4. The code repository. CNC Syntax Editor add intelligence by remembering all the CNC control details. CNC contains the code repository, that can store unlimited number of your parts of most usable code and code templates;
5. Upload files to a machine. Send file to one machine at a time, via DNC Precision software to any compatible CNC machine. Works in the background even while other program applications are running;
6. On-line help. Press the F1 key at anytime and on-line help will appear providing concise and up to date documentation;
7. Lines numbering and renumbering. CNC Syntax Editor can add or remove the line numbers. Standard CNC line numbers with the format of Nnnnn are used;
8. Shift/Scale/Mirror. CNC Syntax Editor can add, subtract, scale or mirror selected axis (address) value in a part of a file or whole file;
9. Add and remove spaces. CNC Syntax Editor can either insert spaces into your file to make it easier to read, or it can remove spaces from your file to reduce the file size;
10. Exchange axes. This function allows the user to exchange the values of one coordinate address to another.
11. Backplot. View source code while backplot is drawing. Slow motion view of your code. Graphical verification of your code, before you put it on your machines;

Limitations:
* The user can edit only first 4 KB of a text and print only first 4 pages
