Hello,

We've recently acquired a Satellite XL 2013 with CAMPlus v3.4.8. (this is our first CNC machine).
We machine aluminum profiles, and each order is different — so no machining program has exactly the same features from one job to another.
We’ve noticed that it's quite tedious to open each program, manually edit the machining positions and dimensions, and save a new `.lda` file every time.

Is there a solution that could simplify the process of creating programs? For example, pushing data from an Excel file, or using a software tool that can edit `.ldt` files?

We don’t have DriverCAD, as our CAMPlus version and hardware are too old. Would it be worth upgrading?

Or, is it possible to use other CAM software that would still be compatible with the Satellite?

We use SOLIDWORKS for our CAD models.

Thanks a lot!
