Surfcam will bring in a solid and convert it to wireframe and surfaces. If you open a Solidworks part file for example, that's how they come in.

If you want to open a solid file that you don't have a translator for, like UG NX4 in my case, you have the UG guy export his file as a parasolid, (UG-file.X_T) and Surfcam will open that file the same way, wireframe on one layer, and surfaces on another. Hope this helps.

Thanks it did help. Now are you familiar with 4th axis milling. I kinda need help with that to. LoL

Glad Iwas able to help.

As for the 4th axis stuff, sorry I can't be any help, but there are some folks on here who can be.

Hi,
What do you want to know about 4th axis, I'll try and help but it may be tomorrow before I get back to you
