How do I practice Sheetcam at home

Post by MikeK »

Hi all

I am new to Sheetcam as well as to this forum.
We have Sheetcam at work, where I have just started using it at the beginning of the year.
I am an autocad 2d/3d and inventor draughtsman of about 35 years drawing office and manufacturing experience.
I am starting to have a few questions which I need to ask, but only have sheetcam loaded at work, not here at home.
Is there such a thing as a 30 day trial version or a students version that I can load at home, to practice on?

SheetCam does offer a downloadable free demo that would be good to practice with. All it does is limit the number of lines of code that it will generate.

Thanks

I have downloaded it.
I see it is a different version from the one I have at work.
The one I have at work is SheeetCam Version 6.2.0 (Copyright 2004 - 2007 Stable Design)
The one I have just downloaded is SheetCam TNG 7.0.10 (Copyright 2007 - 2016 Stable Design)
The interface appears to be the same, but there are far more command icons at the top.
I presume I can load into Sheetcam 7.0.10 examples I have done from Sheetcam 6.2.0?
I will give it a try.
If it works I can post my questions from home.
If it doesn't, I can make up smaller test files from scratch in 7.0.10 anyway.

You have a very old version at work. It was discontinued in 2007. Jobs saved in the newer version should still load but I can't guarantee it. I haven't tested that for a while.
