    multicam 5000 series issue with artcam file transfer

    we have a small issue with router.
    we have been machining file on router using enroute software.
    recently we have a 3d wood carving job , and would like to send the 3d files directly from artcam.
    when we send sizes getiing smaller, for example if i send a circle of 20 cm it cuts only 7.6 cm dia circle.
    can anyone fix our issue, hoping your advice soon.

    What postprocessor are you using? are you programming (modelling) in inches or mm? Is the postprocessor in inches or mm? are the tool definitions correct (diameter and geometry)?

    what version and build are you using ?
    is it the downloaded demo version or have you purchased a license?

    call delcam support

    1-877-335-2261

    we had issue with multicam, and they solved in minutes..

    little weird why youre using plt files? uise gcode and everything will be correct..

    there must be multicam postprocessor.. tough what I know multicam using only inches...
    mightbe im wrong..

    why is enroute involved anyway? its very confusing..

    you can use either way enroute or artcam.. when you sending around between files... it can happen within conversions tolerance issues

    imagine if you were using meter, then 2 digit only shows centmeter precision, while using mm same 2 digit precision shows thoushd of one millimeter...
