Hand editing of G-Code

Hallo,

I saw a latest video, where a hand editing of G-Code is shown. I want to ask you, how I have to do it?

I can edit it only in NotePad, but it is .txt format. XWinder works with .x2d format.

Thanks

  • Milos Marec,

    I got home and I checked the files. The file that is saved with a .X2G extension is the gcode file and the .X2D is the design file. The .X2G is the file you can edit in NotePad and should save as .X2G format.

  • Hi Milos Marec,

    Is the .x2d file type in the XW_GCODE folder? If it is not there then that is the designer file. There should be two files that are saved by the designer. One is a designer file and the other is the g-code file that can be edited in NotePad. Hopefully this helps.

    • Hi Alexander,

      Im new to X-Winder. I have been trying to edit my G-code through a notepad app. However im running into a problem of it not saving. What im doing is pressing the build option in the software then opening the g-code through that window. After making my changes I would just press control S and save then resume the build. Im assuming this is the incorrect method since this does not alter the G-code in anyway. Opening the G-code on the main window with all of the inital setting also gives me an unaltered G-code, im assuming that button generates a default G-code file based on the designer files. Im pretty confused on how I should approach this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
