If You are thinking of conversational, you might look at Fanuc Macro B for ideas. Its a tool they had for conversational programming. Pretty old school appearance but the idea of a macro dialog interpreter inside the control was very leading edge in the 80's/ I wrote dialogs for fanuc 8 9 11 in those days. Its like Ray & Matt's CP1 for LinuxCNC, sorta. Of course there is the Heidenhain Conversational model, but thats the primary programming method, not an add-on. tomp
