The 3d stuff is out of bounds for me but the lathe and 2d mill seemed pretty straight forward. There are tutorials and an excellent help file with good explanations. The nomenclature is a bit different but I don't know what to compare it to....other than LCam and SheetCam.
Not quite 300.....maybe 30 pages. But like I said...no 3d stuff for me.....yet anyway.

Cant find Fig.4...will wait for your post.
RC

This it ?

The second is an option to use 2 tools. The second one gets what the first one misses.

Well that looks good. Seems some programs can't figure out what to do with it.
Maybe i'll try it out. i remember when it  was first put out and there was no documentation for it
and really buggy. so just discounted it totaly.

Oh by the way, sometimes a file dosn't look correctly in Mach turn, not to often,  even though the code is correct. Noticed this with the three balls one. Just go out and come back in mach turn and all is fine. BUT, if you just brought a file in and didn't realize it was ok, that 's another story. I can't seem to consistantly duplicate it.

Hi Guys

I am using ver 3.00.2 but have never seen a screen like that with the tool and the red arrow lines.
Am i living on the wrong planet or what? ???

When you hit the reply button to type in a reply, take notice to the link down to the left that says "Additional Options".

Click on the browse button and you can upload the dxf from your computer and then hit the post button-
