bjenk8100 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Anyone know somewhere that talks about the standards of drafting in autocad with the intention to insert it into a cam program for cnc type machines? Tnx Quote
ReMark Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Why not use AutoDesk CAM and save yourself some headaches? If you insist on doing this the hard way I came across this article some time back.... http://cadsetterout.com/autocad-tutorials/cad-to-cam-cleaning-up-dwg-files-for-cnc/ Quote
bjenk8100 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 not everyone uses inventor. this industry is a headache in itself everyday anyway. Quote
bjenk8100 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 yea i have been to that site as well. he says make sure to use cnc layer. isnt that just layer 0? Quote
bjenk8100 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 this is what is confusing. i worked mostly with structural and miscellaneous steel. we had burn table and cnc. we had all layers on 0. the machine operators knew what was going on. some manufacturers demand certain layers so they know what to do for complicated designs is what i think. probably need to talk to mfc for layer requirements. maybe where i was the machine operator was changing the layer 0 to what he knew he wanted in the shop. hmm Quote
