 VisEdit - Visual Editor for ShopBot® Part Files

VisEdit combines a feature rich editor with toolpath simulation software, specifically designed around Shopbot CNC Part Files (.sbp format). Putting these tools together allows the user to create and modify part files while getting immediate feedback from the simulation, promoting quick file creation and development for those creating or modifying Part Files without design software. Problems in toolpaths can also be pin-pointed, tested and fixed immediately. VisEdit allows the user a broad range of customization in many different areas including the code editor, the simulation preview, printing and much more.

VisEdit was developed by a ShopBotter for other ShopBotters. It works just like you would imagine it would - considering the name. It allows you to "visually" edit Part Files for your ShopBot. You simply load or create a part file in the editor window on the left, and then you can visually inspect the graphical representation of what the toolpath will look like on the right. The quick and easy process of manually editing the code and viewing the output, can be repeated and refined, until the desired results are achieved.

Features

  • User defined syntax highlighting with unlimited customization

  • Multiple documents (tabs), automatic line numbering, recent file list, find/replace

  • Bookmarks - set and go-to

  • Code Insert (add, save, delete, quick insert)

  • Block indent/unindent and block comment/uncomment

  • Drag and drop single or multiple documents into the editor 

  • Quick View allows you to quickly view files in a selected directory so you can choose the correct one.

  • Preview the simulated toolpath from the code in the editor

  • Run the entire preview in one click, simulate with speed control, or step one line at a time

  • Create, load, save and delete pre-defined user views that you setup dynamically

  • Wireframe bit will show the exact position in the preview that correlates to the line of code in the editor

  • Set breakpoints to run execution until a desired point is hit

  • Step forward or backwards through lines of code and see the simulated toolpath update as accordingly

  • Setup the preview any way you like, with settings such as colors, table/grid size, and table and bit transparency levels

  • Set the simulated toolpath to "follow" the bit through the cutting simulation for easy viewing capabilities

  • Print preview with dynamic header/footer setup, syntax highlighting and simulation preview printing

  • Built with an open architecture to support user plug-ins or enhancements easily

  • Many, many, more...

VisEdit was built with customization in mind.  Everything from the syntax coloring, to the exact layout of the view can be modified by the user and saved for future use.  Not everyone uses an editor or a simulation preview in the same way, so we made sure VisEdit lets you customize these tools the way you want.  There is also a plug-in section that you can use to help generate code.  This was built with an open architecture to support user plug-ins or enhancements.  You can also attach user-defined plug-in routines to the code-insert functionality to quickly extend the power and functionality of the editor.
