I'm not sure what was available in v5, Its from 2005.
Have you looked in to the 3D surface options?

I would recoment using some dedicated CAD software and then importing to Alphacam....

the 2005 version doesn't have a very good interface but the process is the same as the current 2021.0 release.
Pick a tool>Feature extract the solid>Apply the toolpath. So not many clicks to get a...

VBA is the same as any aplication. Excell, Word, AutoCAD, Solidworks. So there is is plenty of information, books and forums out there.
There are a few examples to get you started with the Alphacam...

I believe IMOS will output a CSV file that you can use to load parts and control part settings within Automation Manager. Automation Manager will then automate the application of toolpaths,...

With CAM software it is always very debatable what software is best. Polls are pointless because all it tells us is what software has the most users and definitely not which is best for your business...

Hi Carstone,

If you are not far off from where you need to be you might just need to know how to exploit what you have at your disposal better. For example, if you contact support with a CAD model...

Support and training are most definitely two different things. If someone has already paid for training (like CarsonStone has), support engineers will go out of their way to help solve problems and...

The best way to move forwards after you have had basic training in the software is to ask specific questions about specific problems you are trying to overcome and soon all will be clear. There are...

Are we including Moduleworks as part of the software it's added to? ie When we decide if Mastercam is good or bad is that with or without non OEM stuff like MWorks.

Correct, usually these cam software companies tend to offer their own solutions for 3,4,5 axis and use moduleworks when customers want more advanced functionality. Moduleworks also offers 3,4&5 axis...

Alphacam Ultimate with the Advanced 5 Axis add-in will do it no problem. Plenty of collision avoidance tools and advanced 3D toolpath creation.

For 3D toolpath generation Moduleworks is probably the best. You will see their interface and engine rebranded plugged into a lot of major players like Alphacam, MasterCAM, SolidCAM, EdgeCAM,...

This sounds like a machine problem not Alphacam.

Have you tried the Alphacam web site?

Have you got a solid model open?
Have you selected a tool?

In addition to what Dan911 said. There is also Onion Skin option in nesting. Are you nesting?

You have soome options for paper size in the Property Grid>Page Settings on the bottom righ. There is a load of standard sizes and a Custom option. I would pick an example Layout file that is close...

Have you got the example layouts. They should install in Licomdir/Reports. Failing that you can find them on the DVD 2017R1\ExampleFiles\Report Layouts.

Automation Manager will automate everything for you including the different NC output that is needed for your machines.

Hi Raneon, Press 'Enter' on the keyboard. It is very quick.

What version of Alphacam and windows OS are you running?

Have you tried the Alphacam Utube channel ? - https://www.youtube.com/user/AlphacamVero/videos

An easier way might be to convert the geometry to a polyline or spline and then us Cut Spline Polyline.

Are you using arc only lead in and out? Can you give us you post processor, nc output and .ard file please. It's hard to look at without them. There seems to be some compensation problem. As a work...

Hi Tomax. Your post processor can be configured to work in one of two different ways. It can output to all tool paths on work planes as coordinates from global 0,0,0 or it can output them with local...

Alphacam is one of the most user frently CAM systems out there especially with the new dialogs and tooltips. Check out Utube for tutorials. If you can't find what you want then post questions here....

What do you mean by "multiple tool paths with correct tool info"?

In the same way you create a Style by right clicking and selecting Save As Style you can also select Add To Existing Style. This way you can create one style that has all your toolpaths in. Then you...

There is Slow Down For Corners in Alphacam. But I don't think this is problem. It is more likely down to how your control handles changes in direction and might need the velocity and deceleration...
