Unfortunately, I am pretty sure the OP has gotten this done by now as this was posted originally on April, 2011.

You could try saving it as a template. It should save the settings that way so when you program next time with the same tool and material, you can use the saved template and your custom settings...

LOL, sorry, but that is wishful thinking for them to be checking out this forum. I've been following this forum for about 5 years now and have never seen anyone from Surfware respond. Sometimes a...

I'm not familiar with Leadwell machines but perhaps your machine needs to see a M29 for tapping? Try rewriting your code manually so it looks like this:
T3 M6
S240
G0 G90 G54 X0. Y0.
G43 H3 Z.5 ...

Does your VF5 have a USB port? If so, you can DNC off of that.

I've also looked at Solidcam for the work we do here at the place I work. Our engineers use Solidworks and send us the Solidworks files for us to use for programming. I have played with some of the...

I wonder if a bull nose cutter would give you a better finish?

Congrats on your modification! It sure sounded like a really fun project when you first described it to us on the forums. It would be nice to see a pic but I totally understand the privacy issues.

It would help if your post also included general location.

Could this be done by mounting your bar offset from the main central axis in x so that the center of your cut is your x axis center of rotation? Then it seems that what you want to accomplish could...

We only had that problem with V5.2 and it only happened when importing a parasolid file. It would totally lock up Surfcam. We also run Solidworks on our computers and they are only about 1 year old....

There is a feature here on this forum located here, Machinist Feedback - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net! that was designed to be used to give feedback. But many times, it gets...

Yes,we had that same problem. What worked for us was uninstalling Surfcam and then reinstalling. I think somehow the translator installation went haywire. It has worked for us for 2 months now, knock...

We are not all cavemen style programmers that don't want to change. Most of the programmers her in SoCal are avid computer users and are flexible in using different types of interfaces. So for...

I hate to be sarcastic, but, wooohoooo, they changed the colors of the icons! I hope there is more to the updated UI than that.

Here is the MSDS for that lube:

SURFCAM 6 to Showcase at SolidWorks World 2012


Updated interface??????? Can we hope?

Greetings to our friends in Croatia. All of the Mach3 experts hang out in this section of the Zone, Mach Software (ArtSoft software) - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net! . I'm...

If you had a few of these to do, perhaps a custom ground cutter would be more cost effective?

Not interested in quoting but the reason why he asked about extrusion is because most heat sinks of this nature are made from extrusions. It eliminates having to machine all of those small gaps...

Per Surfcam's website on Demo version:

Please note the following capabilities and limitations:

•No SIM or security code required
•All of the SURFCAM options and modules are supported with the...

.scrpt is what they need to be saved as

Just had a brain flash, make sure to use save as instead of just save. And use a unique name for the file. I think that might be the problem.

Can you post your surfcam file?

Try opening one of the demo files under the samples file and run verify on one of those. When you save the file, are you just clicking on save or are you giving it a unique name? Give the part a...

The verify option is neutered in the demo version. Did you give the part a name and save it before you tried verify? It sometimes doesn't work if you don't save the file first. I know for sure that...

I use this to connect with our Haas, E07-160 . I use Windows XP and it is just pretty much plug and play. Load the driver first, install device, configure settings to match CNC machine, then you are...

To Dynacam:
Thanks for posting some feed back from a reseller's point of view. When we originally bought our seat of Surfcam, we had a local dealer. He knew the product inside and out, was very...
