RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC fixed - Turbo CNC?

Chris:

Any cad program that generates a DXF file is suitable for ACEConverter so
I'd expect ACAD to work. One of the nicer things about Vector is that, with
the full package, there are built in commands for generating the correct
code for pocket cuts and other goodies. IMService's "teaser" CD - look at
the messages from IMService or Fred Smith for the URL - has some (but not
all) of the goodies enabled. And, the cost for the teaser is low enough that
it doesn't break the budget.

|Hello,
| Thanks for the info - will AutoCAD work as well as VectorCAD

|
|I've used both the combination of VectorCAD 9.0 (the "list" special) and
|ACEConverter and the VectorCAD 9.3 full package with no problems.
|
|The key is to edit the G-Code file that either of these generate and add
|the
|following lines:
|
|{dakcnc3.0} as the very first line of your file
|
|
|{program start} as the line immediately preceding your first G-Code
|statement.
|
|You are free to put any comments regarding the G-Code file (or anything
|else, for that matter, between these two lines and TurboCNC will ignore
|it.
|If you have the source code to TurboCNC, you can edit and recompile it
|to
|eliminate the need for either of these statements.
|
|I'm just starting to play with the full VectorCAD/CAM package, but I
|think
|there's a way to have Vector generate the lines. There's so much in
|there,
|the first order of business was to print the manual. Fortunately, I was
|able
|to use the manual for 9.0 that I printed out and the addendum on the CD.
|
|The other thing that you'll have to do is to configure your G-Code
|converter
|to use only those G-Codes that TurboCNC recognizes. But, this is the
|same
|requirement that any G-Code interpreter (TurboCNC, CNCPro, etc.) has.

||Hi all,
||Turns out the problem with the EMC install was just the CD I burnt it
||on. I guess the burnt image had some problems. It installed fine, but
||my laptop isn't too happy with Linux running on it - oh well.
||So... let's talk about Turbo CNC - what software can I take a CAD
||file (.dxf or equiv) and turn it into G-Code that Turbo CNC will
||recognize?
||Any help is appreciated,
||-Chris Clough
