Hi ralli.sport Been awhile since ive been here, had to drop the project for a while...
Ok you know i have a pacer cadet800, well you seem to know a bit abbout them
now the thing did work until i went to fire up its 286 pc that ran in dos & nothing happened
so all i want to do is run it Throgh a windows based software that will import my dxf,hpgl, or preferably plt, files' would i not just need a card put into a modern pc: or do i have to change the axis controller boards as well ? it used to run on a dos system called roboSign based on roboCad which has .rdf. file extentions all i want to do is bypass the the huge board inside the old computer or am i been simplictic..
thing is i have a lot of nice designs saved as plt.(gerber plot files) for plotting & would just like to bring them into a simple window based machine control software and assign
2d toolpaths to them.....and cut them out...sorry if i,m long winded in the whole thing.....If you can direct me in the right direction i would appreiciate it
