Guys,

I'm trying to get to grips with Wildfire 3 Manufacturing - ie getting gcodes out for use with Mach3 controlling a 3-axis cnc mill. A few questions:

1) When Volume milling, and playing the toolpath, how do I display the 'in process' geometry? For examply, how can I show the removed material in real time when playing the toopath? As I've got it at the moment, the path CL is displayed, but I can't easily visualise what the machined part looks like. BTW I don't have vericut.

2) How do I get the approach angle of the end mill right? I need to specify an angle at which the mill will initially graze the surface - which dialogue box is this input in?

3) Is there a specific post processor to get from Wildfire 3 into Mach 3 without messing about editing?

Cheers in advance,

Garth.
