    Altium 9 to Cambam to Mach3 to drill holes

    Hello to all,

    I have exported my NC file from Altium. I opened it in Cambam and it list the nc file in the left pane. From this point I have no idea as to what's next. I need nc to gcode for Mach3.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi Iv been using cambam for the last year and its done what i want and more.
    If you have'nt used it before then i strongley recomend that you go on there website cambam.com and look at there videos tutorials on how to use it. I found it very easy and quick to use. If you have a cn file loaded then you need to learn how to use profiles pockets and drilling commands to make your gcode.

    It's all a learning curve game I guess. LOL

    Thanks again.
