Artcam 2008

[Vegabond]

Hello, i try to import different DXF files, but this is how they became in artcam.

Picture 1: AutoCAD drawing
Picture 2: The same drawing imported in Artcam

Any tip?

Try saving the .dxf file as version 12 or 13 .dxf

[Vegabond]

I just have 12 and 14.

I try both, but just the same..


Thanx.


Edit: Here is a picture of my alternative.

Robert.

How about just making a toolpath to clear it? Just use a big cutter with 99% stepover and it will not add to the simulation time too much. I don't know of a better way to do it.

How do you import Rhino 3d model to Artcam?

[Vegabond]

I actually don`t know, what file is it?

it's a 3d dxf model that I downloaded from cnc4free.org I tried to open it in Artcam but it's either I don't know how to do properly or it's just won't accept those 3d dxf model. It would get error. Btw I could open and alter fine in Rhino fine those 3d dxf model.

Hello. I see i can import an model. If you click on the "reliefs" on the top of the screen, you can import 3d model.

But i can`t see how to make a toolpath?

Thanks Vegabond, you can create toolpath if you select the toolpath tab on the bottom left hand corner there.
