Hi there

I converted a CNC-machine 2000 x 1500 x 1000 for printing purpose. It has a HDI controler.
The problems are: The code from Cura or Slic3r are without line numbers ...N10 N11 N12.... ,The feedrate must be given in full numbers F7500.000 not good F7500 OK, brackets instead of semicolons are required for text in the code.
any ideas?

On linux it is fairly easy..

cat some.gcode | perl -ne 'print "N".++$a." $_" if /^[GM]/' | perl -pi -e "s/(Fd+).d+ /1 /"

I don't know if any native Windows tools will do the job, but if you are on Windows it is possible to install Perl.

It also depends on your host program. Pronterface pre-pends the line number (N0001..) To the front of every g code line that comes from a loaded file. It does not modify the commands you enter interactively.

A small c program could do that ! I could certainly write it if you really need it winking smiley

N 10 n11 n12... What s that ? Line number ?
What kind of brackets do you need? '(' or ')' ?
and my version of cura: cura 14.01 give full numbers for feedrate. F2100 for example.
