Hi Packer.
Can you tell me more about the machine the control is for? I used to run AB8600 (a really old one). Also will you be using E parameters?
The more data you supply the better

That is for Starrag NX155, it's a 5-axis blade milling machine. I think it is also an old machine. :-)

Re: How to creat a control file (ctl) for vericut
you should start with a control that is similar to your control. VERICUT comes with several controls in the Library folder.
I would recommend to start with an Allan-Bradley control:
Setup > Control > Open
Shortcut= CGTECH_LIBRARY (top right corner)
select : ab_8200.ctl
This control should cover most of the main G and M codes in your program.
