Is there anything built in to labview to handle g code?

[jimbo2]

I am wondering if labview can handle gcode input from something like autocad. The application would be to use this code to drive a laser and create 2d/3d objects.

Hello jimbo2,

Unfortunately, there is currently no toolkit or functionality for converting code between labVIEW and Autocad. There are, however, some discussion threads on importing Autocad drawings into LabVIEW.

If none of these suggestions help, or if I�m not correctly understanding your issue, please post the software and versions you are using, the applicable portions of your code, a
nd any other information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it.

Have a nice day!

You may want to post this question on the Motion discussion forum. I don't know if there is something available to convert the G code, but it would not be too hard to make your own driver. You would just need to understand the motion controller commands, and also the G code commands.
