I currently have Esprit 2016. I am in college working towards a manufacturing degree and am in CAM classes.
I also am taking manual programming for mill and lathes. I have the software on student license and cannot contact anyone that can help me from Esprit. I don't need to have G and M code generated, I just need a backplotter to show simulated toolpath, etc. and basically watch my programs run.
.
Attached is what Esprit help shows. I've done a few google searches and came up empty.
Is there a backplotter on this software? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? I'm assuming it's an add on or something stupid.
I only have used "Backplot" when I have only the NC code. To backplot the NC code you go to "File">"Backplot" then choose the NC code. Then it generates the profile from the NC code. If you made a toolpath and used machining or contouring and want to watch the tool cut then you use "Simulation". You also would need to define stock in simulation parameters.
