Anyone know of a GCode viewer that can show the object dimensions?  

RE: Anyone know of a GCode viewer that can show the object dimensions?

I often have the need to look at a GCODE file which I have already sliced.... And my goto app is the "Simplify3D" viewer... And it does what I want except for one thing.. The dimensions of the object..

It seems bonkers to me that this is not shown, but I have looked everywhere and can't find it.. The only way I have been able to do it is to make a note of the co-ordinates at the bottom.. Simulate the tool movement to the extremes and work out the size that way.. But its fiddly and over complicated.

Is there a GCODE viewer that will show the dimensions? Better still, does anyone know of a feature I am overlooking in Simplify3D?

Thanks in advance for any tips..

Maybe this could help: https://ncviewer.com/ (before simulating remove thumbnails)

This is a simple 2D-viewer, but it shows you the partsize and other parameters: http://gcode.ws/

Or maybe here: http://jherrm.com/gcode-viewer/

I have been using http://www.pleasantsoftware.com/developer/pleasant3d/ on my Mac. I am pretty certain I came across it from this article which might also be of interest to you https://all3dp.com/2/g-code-simulator-viewer-best-tools-to-simulate-3d-printing/

I stand corrected - it was from this page from that I came across Pleasant 3d https://wiki.shapeoko.com/index.php/Previewing_G-Code

Cheers.. NCViewer was no good.. But the Gcode Analyser shows the dimensions which is what i wanted..

But I still hope to find something non-web based as I want to be able to double click a GCODE file and have it open an app which shows what I want.

I still can't believe that Simplify3Ds GCODE view doesn't show dimensions.. Thats just bonkers.

Here you can download the Gcode-Analyzer project: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35248

Were you able to find something that worked? I'm looking for one too... double-click the .gcode and see an image.
