Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Disappointed Lathe CNC

I think what you are seeing in the BobCAD help for lathe are the added
things you need just for lathe. Every thing else is the same as for mill.
The main thing to get right is which quadrant to draw in. Some times it is
easiest to draw the part the way you want it to look and then "mirror" it to
the right quadrant.
If you are doing a lot of editing, you don't have the .cfg file set up for
your lathe.
I,ve been using BobCAD since ver. 12. I.m just getting started using it on a
lathe.
