    Lightbulb Convert to G-code files

    Do anyone know if there is any possibility to convert solidworks 3d drawings to g-code txt files. I`m using cnc-pro from YA, and Im not to familiar with Autocad, so the ACE converter wont do it..(I think) So if anyone have a program that is similar to ACE, but for solidworks files, i`d be happy to know...

    Save your Solidworks files as STL files and use MESHCAM to create the G code.

    There is a free 60 day trial. It takes about one hour to learn this program and works pretty good.

    I've been pleased so far.
