    Why not? All the modern CNC software I've used just traces the outline of a vector drawing. Why the need for manual coordinates?
    Sometimes it's more convenient  to do it manually .
    On the other hand ,  I don't particularly work with software  ( especially not Edgecam as it's quite an advanced software ) , so I am in the dark a little bit :) .

    Having worked with programming CNC machines for many years making prototypes, I have grave doubts if you could ever manually input the tool path for a F hole. You would most certainly have to use some kind of technical drawing software to work out all the vectors the arcs diameters of the circles it will be a bloody nightmare, just use a CAD Cam system and it does it for you.


    Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

    Obviously , software would make this process  painless , but  honestly this would be easy to program manually if I have all arcs and lines points ( at least on Heidenhain )  . The use of rotation and mirror image cycle would do it even easier .

    Got to love a man who wants to go the hard route LOL. 

    Just out of interest is your speciality coding Heidenhain I did have a quick Google and manual read seems yeah there is some powerful stuff but no less arcane than any superset of proprietary gcode control.

    Yeah that's me :)

    Are you sure you don’t want to reinvent the wheel?
