WHAT IS PERSONAL APT?

PERSONAL APT is a complete Numerical Control programming and tape
preparation system.

PERSONAL APT offers 2 1/2 axis NC/CNC part programming capability
and a powerful set of mathematical functions and geometry des-
criptions to aid in the solution of complex problems that are
often encountered in Engineering, Design and Drafting functions.
PERSONAL APT uses a subset of the most powerful and most widely
used NC programming language, APT. Compatibility with APT
provides users of PERSONAL APT an upward growth path as their work
increases in complexity without having to learn a new programming
language. Also, PERSONAL APT is so easy to use that it is ideal
for learning the APT language and programming concepts. Text
editing and graphic display of tool paths are built-in features of
PERSONAL APT.
