you should either get the trainning cd (maybe go to one of they classes but I don't know of any in Egypt). If you can not do a simple drill program you need more help than a post can answer. The cd are worth the money. But post your file and I do this one for you

no i don't want to waste your time to do it for me , i can use BOBcad almost well , so just can tell me go the menu and select so and so , by this way i'll do it myself and i'll not waste your time , as for the training cd am going to buy it it's realy worth

open bobcad-main menu- point-select coordinate-enter data(point location should be on screen)-open cam side-select your post-cam main menu-machine(with point selected on cad side should be red) - select drill and cycle -select cycle type- fill in data

when I first got bobcad I bought the cd set ($200US) it was most helpful and I was able to learn at my pace also your not wasting my time
