NC Import for SolidWorks

NC Import for SolidWorks is a dedicated third-party add-in module designed to read and convert raw CNC machine code into usable 3D geometric entities directly inside the CAD platform. While SOLIDWORKS is traditionally used to design models and export G-code, this plugin performs the exact opposite by treating CNC code as a reverse-engineering dataset. Core Functionality

File Interoperability: It parses numerical control machine code files including .nc, .ncc, .cnc, and .tap formats.

Data Transformation: The add-in reads sequential instruction blocks (G-codes and coordinate parameters) to reconstruct the physical toolpath.

Entity Generation: It automatically transforms those tool movements into native CAD elements, converting path lines into sketches, lines, spline curves, and surfaces. Primary Use Cases Solidworks to Advanced Steel to create NC file
