I've been able to get up to speed with importing dxf's into partmaster cad, creating an origin, contours and hole patterns then passing to cam to create toolpaths.
i'm trying to figure out a way to update the cam contours without starting an entirely new cam file. i.e. i have imported contours and a hole pattern into cam then 3/4 of the way through creating tool paths i realize i need to edit a contour, or add one, or change/add a hole pattern. is there some way to update the geometry in cam without starting over?
the 2 things i've tried are using the cam geometry editor and cut/pasting operations. the cam geometry editor is the most painful program i have ever used. cutting and pasting operations form the old cam file to the new one is flakey, sometimes it works, sometimes the operation will reset back to defaults like depth of cut, approach, etc.
also, one level up. i create everything in solidworks, then output a dxf. is there a way to import a new version/udpate a dxf into partmaster cad without creating all new contours, hole patterns, etc?
thanks
Mike
