    I Did It :)

    This is true I actually managed to get a toolpath to cut the foam and it did what I wanted it to .. not very complicated but its a start.. i am very happy and owe a great deal to you guys ... i am still kinda in shock yippeeeeeeeee!!!

    and only a few months ago i didnt even have a clue

    Considering everyone is so helpful and kind about helping I thought i would ask more questions to keep everyone happy they aren't very diffficult its just some things i have noted down in order to advance so here goes..

    1> How do I chane the measurment units to for example to british (inches) after I selected the default metric when installed.. i am just going to have to change it everytime in settings/configuration.

    2> Is there a way of estimating how long a tool path will take on the machine to run.. i know these can be innacurate but a estimate would be good.


    thanks alot for any information you may have

    I'm not sure in vx how to set the default to inches instead of mm but I know in v9 you can backplot and the cycle time is pretty close.
