Re: Turning module

we got CNC lathe last fall, but it's a legit industral machine & has it's own integrated programming interface. Thus it's hard to imagine choosing to using sheetcam to program it. There is a lot more going on in terms of continuously adjusting Spindle speed to match the cutter's SFM. Our turning...

Re: Drag knife not creating initial swivel

Can you just create an additional parameter for the tool, or operation that automatically sets the assumed blade angle to a set direction (like Y+ ) for the first cut in a new job file. It could either be a fixed direction or an angle that the user assigns in the operation or tool dialog. If it coul...

Re: Drag knife not creating initial swivel

Do you know what angle it assumes the blade is at in the start of the part when sheetcam is freshly opened? If I knew that - then I could try to move my first starting point to match. If you could read the angle (in the XY plane) of the first cut, and assume the blade is 110Deg offset it'd probably ...

Drag knife not creating initial swivel

I've been watching this trying to find a clue -but it's still a mystery I have wanted to believe it is related ...

update to development version

What's the best way to do this? It doesn't give me the option when I "check for Updates" from within SheetCam I don't really want to uninstall & reinstall... can I have both version installed and running on the same license at the same time? ps. why: it has started crashing on me every...

call program to view file after post

maybe this already exists, but I can't find it?

I'd love there to be an application option to set a path to an application (in my case Notepad++) such that whenever I post a new code it automatically opens it in the specified program(application path) where I can inspect and/or edit it.
