TurboCAD/CAM - Unequal Radei | | I'm using TurboCAD/CAM to produce G-Code for a MHP/Moog Hydra Path 3 control.
If any of you are familiar with this control, you know that it checks G02 and G03 radei, and if they don't match down to three decimal places, it faults.
This is a good thing, this way you are always turning the radius you wanted, but the pinch happens when TurboCAD/CAM generates my G-Code.
I have sat down and checked the radei by hand, and have found variances of as much as .012", more than enough to cause my control to crap on itself.
So my question is this: Has anyone else ever had this problem with TurboCAD/CAM? If so, were you able to fix it, or find a work around? If so, what was it?
I could call IMSI, but I really don't want to give them $10 to tell me that there is nothing I can do.
BTW, just to get this off my chest. [RANT]Does it steam anyone else to give $1000 for a piece of software, and then have to pay $10 a call for tech support? Especially when its about a bug or glitch that they know about, but do not bother to tell you about in the release notes.[/RANT]
Any help would be most appreciated.
