I would like to know more about OneCNC for my wire eroder.
Is there a demo i can download?

Klox:eek:

Hi Klox,

I just checked and indeed there is:

Lots of other interesting stuff too, that I've never seen yet like nesting and design and profiler.

Based on my experience with 3 of their other software products, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of these specialized packages, if I had the need for any of them. Yes, they are that good :)

Hu,
It is not that i'm unhappy with BobWire, is sometimes só time consuming to draw toolpaths. Is there keyboard commands like in MasterCam?
This is why i want to explore other software.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I'm getting my OneCNC demo now......


Klox

Klox, do you mean configurable hotkeys for common commands? I would imagine, since this seems to be a common feature in the 3 packages I have used, but you're the one getting the demo :D

Yes.
In Bobwire on the cam side you can configure program stops, starts etc using the custom menu. Maybe i'm stupid but i don't know of any custom cofigurations on the cad side except for background, color and stuff like that.
I've downloaded OneCNC, I haven't fooled around with it yet. (it looks promising!).

Thanks,

Klox

Hu,
One more question about BobWIRE: When generating G-codes using 4axis, the U & V axis is incremental. On my Hitachi i can either use it as described or i can use X,Y,K & L for the program plane and U,V,I & J for the auxilary plane.
Can BobWIRE be configured for this?

Klox

Sorry, I'm not of much help, Klox, because I've never run Bobwire to know much about it. For that matter, I have zero experience with EDM.
