The programming is graphical.
You basically point out the area to work, the cutter to use and how deep to go. Yeah there is a "little" more to it than that but not much more. That is how CAM works.
Programming straight up g-code with a calculator, and typing in the code. You would not see this action until December 2017. I would not even try.
I do g-code some stuff, but mostly just adding something in or modifying and existing program. There is really no need to create from scratch because the CAM is just doggone easy.
It's like using a pencil and paper to figure something out when you are sitting in front of a computer with Excel. WHY - just use Excel, it's soo much easier.
