Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAD2lathe software

Jack, did you edit the schema to ensure polylines are exported as polylines and not just lines? Otherwise the problem may the way cad2lathe does the importing.


Regards, Brian

Brian,
 
Thanks!
 
I got the polylines to save by choosing a different file type.   Still get error in cad2lathe.

Hi Jack, instead of saving your polyline as a dxf, use the "export" command. Then check the schema that it is exporting in, R11, R12 or whatever, and use "edit schemes" to see that polylines are exported as polylines, and not the default "lines". Hope this helps, shout if you need more help.

Regards, Brian

I have cad2lathe which looked pretty crude but for what I do I thought
it would work. I design in Rhino and can save a dxf file for
cad2lathe. Sadly cad2lathe seems to see my polylines as line segments.
Any ideas of what is going wrong and how to solve the problem? I
really don't want to invest big bucks for lathe cam and cad2lathe would
suit my use if I can get it to work.

Any insight and/or solutions appreciated!

Jack
