Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CAD2lathe software

Art,
 
Yup there is a video.    Now Bob wants me to mess with dfx file setting in Rhino some of which I don't understand and don't really want to mess with.   I'm mostly afraid of messing up what works for everything else now.   I think if one uses the same cad software that Bob uses the program would be fine.  I'm going to delete the software and wait till I can afford VisualTurn.

Jack,
After reading this post again, I remembered that
Bob did a youtube video on how to use the program.

Hope this helps.
