I just finished messing around using a DesignCAD > SheetCAM > Mach2 process.
Now THAT is a cheap trio.
DXF's exported from DesignCAD don't come out right in SheetCAM. The only other option is HPGL .plt files. I tried that, and it seems okay two-dimensionally, but not the height.. I got some premade models to export with some height to them, although other areas of the model weren't accurately converted. I'll blame it on my lack of experience.
I'm also considering buying 3D Canvas. Pro version is only $80, I think, and it has a lot of features.
Anyone know the proper method of exporting DXF files?
ger21: Yeah, it has 3d-faces as an export option, but I can't get MeshCAM to open them up. It always says "0 faces" in the Status window.
Thanks for the help. |
