If you see on the picture below, you see trough the material where the tool has milled. On my artcam it doesn`t show the white color there the tool milled, but the same color as the material.. Why?, i have same, or more cut depth than the tickness of the material...


Robert.

Most likely because your material is thicker than the total depth of cut. Check your Material setup and the total depth on your profile toolpath.

The best way is to deal with the Artcam reseller in your locality.. Also watch the Videos and post the same in artcam forum..I hope you will get speed up your learning curve..

Hello, i see the videos, and learn things to!

Ok, what version is your ArtCAM, maybe they are showing a newer version in the videos. I use what I see in the videos to do somethings in Cut2D.

[Vegabond]

I use Artcam 2008

Can i see how much time i have to run the g-code?

Robert.

[knowell2]

Once you have created your toolpaths, click: Toolpath Operations > Toolpath Summary. It will show the estimated time needed to finish the toolpaths. Hope this helps.

[Vegabond]

Yeah it helps! Thank you.

First, correct sentence formation will help others understand what you are asking:

Does someone out there....

On to your question, an STL file is NOT a vector, so you will not see it as one, you will not see it in the 2D view at all. You will see it in the 3D view however. When you import the STL, you can rotate it and translate it wherever you want, then when you click "paste" (I think thats what its called) it will actually paste the model into your workspace. Then you can only machine it using 3D toolpaths (machine relief, etc.) I have found artcam to be somewhat limited in its ability to work with 3D models, depending on what you are trying to do, it may or may not be adequate.

Good Luck

Let me see if i understend...hmmmm....you cand use the "colour shade"... i will explain how it's work. you need to put colour in 2d mod on vector's you want and and in 3d mod activate the "colour shade". i'm attaching a photo the button in the read circle

[Vegabond]

Hello, thanx for answer.

I mean that i get it dark "shadowed" or painted like the example under.

Hi. I am fairly new to artcam 2008 and i have a recessed feature problem.
I followed the steps in the tutorial but i am having a hard time in the recessed feature tutorial b/c i can't find the 'Create' button w/c should be nearby.
Hoping for your kind consideration in detailing my mistake/s.
Thank You.

[Jay C]

What does w/c mean?

[hug333bear]

What does w/c mean?

w/c is short for which sir. and b/c is short for because.
Might you know where i made a mistake?
Btw, i'm using artcam 2008.
