Alpha Cam

[ACSMan]

I'm wanting to Make DXF's and export them into AlphaCam in order for our router to read them but i do not have a DXF Out icon can someone tell me how to create this command? We are using a Multicam 5000 router.

Just type dxfout at the commandline and a dialog box opens for you to send it to the folder you want. At least it does in the full version.

Or 'save as' .dxf

Is there no way of puting a DXF icon on my tool bar? I used to have this feature with 2008, but can't seem to get it to work on LT.

in the cui you can create a command and make a custom button to add to your toolbar.

Doesn't Alphacam accept .DWG files?

Try this link - it has a button for a forum. You might be able to get more information there about how alphacam works. Good luck, don't panic, sometimes getting thrown under the bus can work to your advantage.
