Hi-
Just wondered if anyone can help me, I am currently using Autodesk 2009 to program my nail gun cnc building garden sheds.
Here's a brief description of how I’m using it-
I have use Autodesk as a basic cad software (my boss spent a fortune on it, not sure if it was a good sales man or my boss doesn’t have a clue).
So to create a nail path its basically one straight line broken into many lines, each break of the line is where a nail will be fired by my cnc.
So here's my dilemma-
On this nail gun CNC I'm using it takes too long to program. To nail up a simple frame of a garden building
1- I have to select one out of three different nail paths
2- I have to adjust the height
3- I have to draw a cad drawing with the uprights on it
4- I have to copy the nail path on top of these uprights then delete any un used geometry.
I have made many parametric programs using Xilog Plus for SCM machinery. I would use this if I could but it needs to export as a .dxf file.
Surely there is a way in autodesk where I can make my program using a simple table formula.
i.e Nailpath 1= 50mm wide 2= 70mm wide 3= 100mm wide
Height = 2000mm
Position of upright 1= 500mm
postion of upright 2 = 750mm
Any help much appreciated
