    alphacam

    i am trying to wrap 2d toolpaths onto a 3d surface & can't seem to make it work
    i get to the pick reference point & no matter what i put in it won't wrap
    can someone give me help on this?

    the part is 45" long 4" wide & 5/8" deep with radius on the 4" section with a 5/8" rise

    also for the powers to be , could we have an alphacam forum or is that a legal problem or not enough users?

    thx
    mike

    Wrap the geometry onto the surface and then create a tool path on the then changed geometry to polyline.

    Could you attach the file? It would be helpful, if You shoul have some futher advice..

    And Your suggestion towards the Forum - it would be nice - have You suggested this to CNC-ZONE (if there is enough who asks, then it might be??)
