Predator CNC Editor 2005 for BobCAD 7.0

Predator CNC Editor 2005 for BobCAD is an OEM edition of Predator Software, Inc.’s proven CNC code editor, tailored for BobCAD-CAM users. It streamlines the post-to-shop-floor workflow by making it easy to open, review, clean up, verify, and prepare NC/G‑code programs generated from BobCAD-CAM before sending them to your CNC machines.

Key capabilities include:

• CNC-aware editing: line numbering, re-sequencing/renumbering, search/replace, and syntax highlighting for common ISO/EIA G-code.
• Verification and visualization: 2D/3D backplotting to review toolpaths, check program extents, and spot common mistakes before they reach the machine.
• Program compare: side-by-side file comparison to highlight edits and manage revisions.
• Communications (edition-dependent): machine-specific profiles with RS-232 serial send/receive and drip-feeding to transfer programs to the shop floor.
• BobCAD-focused workflow: optimized to complement BobCAD-CAM output and simplify last‑mile code tweaks.

Who it’s for:

• CNC programmers and machinists who need a reliable, shop-friendly editor to validate and refine BobCAD-CAM posts.
• Job shops and manufacturers looking to reduce setup time, avoid on-machine edits, and minimize costly errors.

Benefits:

• Faster, safer hand edits to G-code with clear visualization.
• Fewer machine stoppages and scrap through early issue detection.
• A consistent workflow from CAM post to machine transfer.

Note: Features can vary by edition and license. Given its 2005 vintage, verify compatibility with your current Windows environment and serial/USB hardware before deployment.
