I'd like to know if there is a way to capture Predator Virtual CNC simulation in frames or AVI, or Mpeg, Gif etc.

I'd also be interested in other CNC simulation software that could do it.
Thanks

I have used hypercam http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/index.asp
to capture simulations in the past, works pretty well and is real easy to use. I bleoeve that Lotus has a screen cam product as well.
Here is a sample I captured with the demo hypercam: http://www.grifftek.com/dolphincadcam/avi/clip0017.avi

Maybe we shoudl contact predator, maybe they would add this feature to their software.

Bill,
Thanks for letting me in on this option. Your avi was loaded nicely. I'm suprised it was only .36 MegByte large (being an AVI). I can't believe predator doesn't have this option. It seems it would be an easy thing for thier software folks to integrate into thier packages. Oh well...
Thanks
Tony

Xeno VCNC will let you take screen shots of the file as it goes thru the stages of cutting this is a setting to tell it how often you want to take a snap shot.

I will post later of were to set it. when I change my predator dongle to this computer and stat were it is.

I forgot this is part of the setup sheet.
