TahlCAM development stopped when the 3rd-Party GUI software development hit a snag. The last AutoCAD version that TahlCAM worked with was 2004. The GUI software that TahlCAM used has gone Open Source and is now called Open DCL. It is being actively developed on Source Forge. AutoDESK at one time envisioned AutoCAD going away. This did not happen. Now AutoCAD is being improved and working with Inventor. Autocad and Inventor 2008 open and work with each others files. AuotCAD has greatly improved the 3D modeling abilities.
I have been considering simplifying and releasing a new version of TahlCAM for AutoDESk products. An open source version is also interesting to me. Are there any folks interested in working on cam inside AutoCAD? How about participating in development?
Cheers,
