i just started learning the dxf system my tm1 and found it very difficult to use. Do most people use the dxf or do they just type in g code or use a cam system?

the key to learning is making 1000's of setups and running 1000's of jobs.
after that your home free. the machine brand name does not make any difference.

you will need to mill in steps if posible or rough pocket out first leaving only .005,then finish with several passes in steps.
if i understand your post.

1) is sounds like the variable "%blockno " does not have a value. there is no value to use.

I have turboCad cam 12 pro. I have found it most diffcult to learn. But I am
new to cad/cam. Imsi has offloaded the tech help to a company called cadcourse.com. Even they don't support the cam...

I served part of an apprenticeship, mostly as a "slave". Learned the name of the tools, how to drill a hole, just basic stuff. got layed off, went to another shop,got fired for not knowing anything....

1) I am having trouble picking exact location of hole for drilling cam op. what am doing wrong?

2) Is there any info on turbo cam plug-in, besides the tutorials on the disk?

Is turbocad 10 considered ok for 2d part programing for cnc cam software?
if not why and what cad should I use??

thanks

does anyone have any experence with Advameric's cam software?

I don't know how much machining exper you have? But i found a free g code
simulator online. "AutoEditCnc" can help. A book called "7 easy steps to cnc"
another book by Smid is more advanced.

can anyone offer any advice on rino madcam, is it worth the price.

thanks
