NC 2D Import for AutoCAD

NC 2D Import for AutoCAD is a Numeric Control (NC) program (.nc) file import plug-in for AutoCAD. This plug-in gives AutoCAD the ability to import toolpath data from NC program files.

CNC machines worldwide use Numeric Control (.nc, .ncc or .cnc) files to convert programmed instructions to tool movement. NC programs consist of a sequence of codes with parameter data to arrive at a precise description of the toolpath. NC 2D Import for AutoCAD reads NC program files and recreates the toolpath. The tool movements programmed in NC files are converted in into corresponding line, arc or circle objects and added to the active drawing in AutoCAD.

NC 2D Import for AutoCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the AutoCAD environment. There are simple instructions for this in the ReadMe file. Once loaded it adds new commands to AutoCAD's existing commands and a new submenu called "NCImport" to the AutoCAD menu containing these newly added commands.
