Does anyone know of Lightwave modeler? I have been using it for years to build catalog models but have never learned to use any other cad program. What would be most useful would be if I can use Lightwave to generate code for a mill. LW will export DXF but as it is 3D, I’ve never figured out if it can be used to generate a program. George    |

| Yes, I use it. Depending on what format you're CAM program supports, you can export .dxf, .obj, or .3ds models. I use an .stl export plugin from Sean Moyer's Chrome Cow site to export models and bring them into MeshCAM.
