    alphacam 2016 R1

    The company I work for just purchased Alphacam 2016 R1 and it's been dropped in my lap. I'm pulling my hair out just trying to make simple solid objects in it and set dimensions for it. Example trying to make a solid sphere a certain size and make part of it cut out so I can make a radius model on our 5 axis machine. Any ideas of where to look for helpful tutorials that aren't super expensive???? Thanks!

    You don't happen to work in Georgetown (Seattle), do you?

    Hi. AlphaCAM is only a CAM system.You can't create solid objects with it. You need Vero's Part Modeler for that.
