Hi Robert, Firstly, wow! This is a hell of an achievement already, and your pace of development and customer responsiveness is very impressive. What is you...
Thanks for the kind words. The first goal is to add enough functionality that nobody has to think, "Should I buy DeskProto, StlWork, MillWizard, or MeshCAM?"...
Hi Robert, As a surface machining tool, five axis support will be necessary sooner or later. Interesting the work Rab is doing with CNC Toolkit. A fresh...
Hi Just tried Meshcam and think its real cool. I loaded an stl of my boat hull and noticed theres not alot of light wene rotating the light shines only on one...
Robert, I noticed in the Generate Toolpath dialog box, when you click one of the finish types (x, y, or both. are they called radio buttons?)it unchecks the...
Good catch on the radio buttons. I'll fix that. I'll look at addding the climb and conventional settings. It'll be easy for the finish, but might be tougher...
robgrz I loaded the Rhino 3dm file I mentioned about not being able to load. I tried it with both of Rhino's stl options. I am new to both programs so it is...
Gerry I have v3.0 You think that could be the problem? I deleted the stl files but I can go back and do them over. It will be later this afternoon before I can...

I uploaded a file to the files section. It is a zipped STL from Catia V5. this is the error it creates T slot milling table.stl Too Many Facets Specified in...
I was able to open the file in Solidworks, also tried Pro/e but it ignored it for some reason. Anyways I tried saving the part as a Solidworks part and then...
Just wondering--Mecsoft says on the Freemill site: "We will be constantly updating the FreeMill product. So visit us often to download the latest version of...
Hi Gerry, Thanks for providing a path to get these files into Meshcam (I dont need that file, it was just an example to point out an incompatiblity). The CATIA...
I figured out the problem, at least with Catia ascii .stl's. In the first line, change CATIA STL to OBJECT. It should read: solid OBJECT In the last line, do...
Robert, thanks for the shortcut keys. But, to fit to window, do I have to use alt-V and then alt-F, or is ther a single combination to get me there. If I have...
Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I didn't see the message until just now. MeshCAM only lights the outside faces of objects. This is done on purpose since a back...
Good catch Gerry. I'll add that to the STL reader. The next version will have DXF support as well, I just finished it last night. Robert ... Meshcam ... dont...
On that same subject, I've seen a few models load in with the normals flipped. Itdoesn't affect the Z map at all, but if it's not too much trouble, a flip...
I was going to write that command tonight. Since DXF files don't specify normals like STL files there is a bigger chance of a problem with them. ... normals ...
Hi Rob I uploaded to the files folder under Hull I can load the file no problem and have to rotate y90 to get the profile I want to carve with the beam...
Hi Rob is there an undo and redo makes it easier when having to rotate the model for orientation to the z axis. Can I resize the stock and lock it then center...
Frank, I would think it should be much easier to properly orient the model in the application it's created in, so you don't have to rotate it in MeshCAM. Also...
1) There's no rotation undo. I might look at adding it in the future. 2) Beta 10 will have a new Stock command where you can define the stock and position at...
I'm working on an algorithm now that would enable the cleanup pass. Probably won't be ready until after Beta 10 is released. Robert ... can ... up ... done ......
Actually, I noticed that you don't even have to replace CATIA STL, you can just delete it. The first line just needs to say solid, the last line just endsolid....
