Hi group,
I posted a message a couple of weeks ago about some new software I
found - Kentech Kipware T with Kipware XC. ( works with DXFs )
This is to let you know what it's like.
I found it had a lot of features and wasn't too hard to use as you can
download slideshows to demonstrate how to use it.
The only problem I found was that Mach 3 doesn't recognise the G71
canned cycles. I wrote to Art and he said the Profiling Cycle was a
high priority and hopefully wouldn't be too long off.
I found Kipware XC ( which converts G Codes such as R to I,J,K curves
and other functions ) quite a useful program.
Kentech software is sometimes available on ebay as well as from his site.
Regards,
Glen.
