Are these videos the same as he handed out at the seminars? I guess this could be a question for the other forum.

[tjones]

Yes and No.

Some news ones will be posted. Especially if there has been some time since you were in one of his seminars. He updates some and he adds new ones. He also does specials.

We are going to post all the past one and then all the new free ones.


He also will frequent the forum so he can answer questions.

We all want it this way. That is why Sorin and Tjones have started our own Forum. The Bashing (I've done my share of this senceless act) takes the thread away from the topic. Hence the individual who posted the question gets the short end of the stick. Tjones and Sorin want to change this for the better.

Excellent. I attended a seminar in Pittsburgh in '05 on version 20 so I can't wait to see some more vids.

I have read all of your 6 posts on the BCC forum and most of them seem to be in a thread made by someone else.

When you need a specific question answered it is always best to start a New Thread in the proper section. This may be why no one answered your thread.

I appoligize for your question not being answered, but there are so many questions that it is difficult to answer all of them. Also many users volunteer information on their free time. It is possible that many users weren't going to the forums at that time. Maybe no one had an answer to your specific question.

Sorry you had a bad experience with the BCC forum

Good eveming Gentlemen
How do I get WINCNC software to recognise my BCC saved cam file? I am saving as *.cnc in BCC cam, however Wincnc only opens *.TAP.
BTW to everyone whom struggled with the propellers. I save in iges in Rhino. Open in BCC and check only SOLIDS. Then select all, generate g-code no more problems,
Best regards,
Piet Propeller

[lakeside]

on cam side go to file-setup-save file extention to .txt

[Piet propeller]

Thanks Mike, Will Wincnc read .txt? Stupid to ask (but I just had to step into that so I can remember the smell)

when someone is learning there are no stupid question just sometimes stupid ansrews anytime. Peit we have a new site why not stop by register http://cadcamtrainer.com/forums/foru...daysprune=&f=1

Piet if you ever run DNC from bobcad most controller will require you to change file extension to .DNC

[ger21]

on cam side go to file-setup-save file extention to .txt

Piet, set the extension to .tap, not .txt

That should do it for you.

[lakeside]

Piet, set the extension to .tap, not .txt

Gerry all controllers will read or should read a .txt file it's an EIA stander. Also if you save files as .txt and switch software or machine you do not have to reprocess tape 10 year down the road. All cad files should be saved as DXF or IGES for the same reason.

[ger21]

But he needs .tap files. He's getting .cnc files that don't work. Changing to .txt won't help him. He'll still need to rename them to .tap because that's what his control wants. Changing to .tap is what he wants to do, and will get him up and running with no problems.

Sure, all controllers *should* read .txt, or .cnc, or any other extension. But I don't know for sure that his does. If he changes to .tap, it doesn't matter.

[lakeside]

You right it does matter. I have never found a machine controller that would not read a .txt and you can edit in MS notepad that what I like about .txt. My shop had to finally up grade to AutoCAD 2006 because customers where send us files and we had R12 and had all sort of issue. That the thing about software there supposed to be standers but I wonder if there really are any. The same software from an old version my not be able to open a newwer file and vise versa. That why I got in the habbbit of saving in dxf,igess and .txt

[HuFlungDung]

Its not just a matter of arbitrarily changing the file extension. Bobcad must specifically output the file in ASCII format, and specifically anything but *.CNC should work, because the *.cnc file is a special Bobcad file, and is not an ASCII text file. I know that Bobcad *.TAP files used to be an ASCII text format which you could rename at will to anything else you wanted, and it would still be a readable text file.
