    drill and tap / thread

    I see where MadCam has the capability to drill, but what about tapping / threading (G84)? Does MadCam support this?

    Thanks!

    Not yet, but it's coming. The plan is to have the madCAM post support drill/tap cycles. If you look at the drill page, and select the operations tab you will see that there is a tap option grayed out.(You need the latest service release to see this) Eventually it will be functional. Joakim was concentrating on the drilling but was pulled off to focus on other issues.
