You've asked a question that can't be answered in a brief reply. There are tutorials available with Edgecam (Help menu > Tutorials) that walk a new user through the basics of opening a solid, getting it ready for machining, and building toolpath. In addition to the knowledge of how to use Edgecam, you also need to have posts that create edit-free CNC code and suitable data in the ToolStore in order for Strategy Manager to be a productive tool for you.

There are some videos on YouTube that show how to use Strategy Manager. These are intended as an overview (versus training), and you may find them helpful. Here's a link to the one on turning. YouTube- Edgecam Strategy Manager for Turning

You really should contact whoever you bought Edgecam from. They will be able to assist you with the implementation and training so that you can quickly put the Edgecam technology to work for your company.

I hope that heads you in the right direction!

Hi Gui11E,

Were are you located? We are a reseller in Canada and are the ones who created the youtube video you watched.

Maybe there is something we can help you with?

There is now Strategies available with Edgecam 2010 R2 that you can run and will produce good toolpaths.

Oh! That’s great, you will be very useful in a future, for now I made that works but there is so much to learn first.
Thanks for your post!
