relocate origin...

Post by Les Newell les.newell@... »

Hi Tim,

The file type warning is a bug but I'm not sure of the best way to fix
it. The problem is that files with the 'tap' extension could be Excellon
or G-code and SheetCam doesn't really know which is correct.

The g-code import filter is not the best. Can't Vectric export in dxf or
SVG? If you have to use g-code, could you send me a sample file so I can
try to figure out what is going on.

Les

relocate origin...

Hi Tim,

I tried loading that tap file and it came in as a complete circle.  If you have problems with dxf and still need to use g-code let me know and I'll dig a bit deeper into this.

By the way when you import a drawing a box appears with a number of options.  On the right hand side of that box are various options for the drawing origin. You can also move your part in SheetCam using the coordinate boxes at the bottom of teh main SheetCam window. You can also move parts uing the nesting function (Mode->Nesting).

Thank you very much for your reply Les,


Attached is that G-Code  (.tap) file... I looked through and couldn't find any dxf or SVG post processors in Aspire.


Thank you again!   -Tim Gray

Surprisingly enough, I just loaded it up, designated the origin as you described and it worked great.
Don't know why it wouldn't work before? But thank you for you your help Les... I really appreciate your input. Tim
