Doug Yeager is a craftsman and it shows in the program he wrote. It has the best crafted pulse engine I've seen done in software. I feel badly for Doug when he...
Mariss I didn't remember anyone being nasty to Doug when he told us he wanted to try a Windows version of CNCpro so I just spent the last half hour rereading...
Hello, I am new to CNC programming and Cad drawing, so please respond using simple language. I have a saw being used to cut foam. Think of the saw as a...
Laurence, Thanks for the response. Yes we have continuous contours set "on" in CNCPro. I think our problem is the generation of code coming out of BobCad...
This is only a work around for now but you could go into your setup file and set the maximum X and Y seed rate down to what ever speed your saw will cut at and...
Yeah, OK, but no one was very nice either or gave encouragement. Same difference. I characterized it as I saw it. Starting, or thinking about starting a new...
The biggest thing we are missing is tool dia compensation (G41/42). Implementation of this feature will not be trivial. Here's a thought. Suppose Doug released...
In order to prevent cutting across the parts you may have to draw toolpaths between letters and manually chain your parts. This, of course, defeats the purpose...
Doug, Thanks for the comments. I think the nesting program could give me a suggested layout to use, if I can figure out how to maneuver and duplicate a part...
This may or may not be of any help to you, but if you have not yet built the machine you should consider using waterjet instead of hot wire or abrasive wire....
You are probably right about your assessment. We don't know how easy or not the actual fix is. I suspect Mr. Yeager will in his own time fix the problem. But...
Doug, The machine is already built and will allow us to cut a thickness of foam that water jets won't. Didn't forsee the software issues though. I was...
BobCad has a program called BobWire that may allow you to get around some of the problems you are experiencing. BobWire is for wire EDM which is similar in...
Doug, Thanks for the input. I am working with someone at BobCad. I will look into BobWire and the support forum. Appreciate the help. Don ... From: doug6949...
I am using an old windows 98 computer to run cnc pro in. I notice that if I load a large program and try to skip back in the program it takes forever....
Hi I run CNCpro on 166 & 266 MHZ all the time with no trouble , you might also check on your memory some of the old computers had very little . Ron K ... -- ...
I am going to venture a guess at this. The ability to skip back/forward is limited by the program's interaction with the keyboard repeat rate. As such, it...
Thanks, I will check it out. ... From: Ron Kline To: yeagerautomation@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 10:28 AM Subject: Re: [yeagerautomation] cnc...
Thank you for your response. Wouldn't the interupt apply to both directions. It skips forward fast but not backward. Or are they sepparate. Thank you for the...
It's not the keyboard. It is the rather inefficient method used to scroll forward and back. A faster PC might help. I've had some long programs take 2...
I think you have hit the nail on the head. It could take many minutes to go back in on a helical mill program. Apparently you have done it. The fact is...
Oh , forgot to mention , it is best to format the hard drive and install a new Win 98 to get rid of all the stuff that has built up on the computer over the...
Two points for that one. ... From: Ron Kline To: yeagerautomation@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 1:25 PM Subject: Re: [yeagerautomation] Re: cnc...
i am looking at getting artcam to do 3d stuff. has anybody had any problems with this software with cncpro, also does artcam have a post for cncpro or am i...
