Miracle tool paths that only work on high-end machines, with expensive tools and holders! So that's what the CAD select button does, thanks! Contact Sales Contact Support. Opick an edge, right click see those options - my most used are select tangency and select loop but I find that sometimes it picks more entities than I bargained for. Convert Entities and choose the text I just dissolved, this will convert it to much simpler lines and is way easier on the CAM program, here I also delete all the little connecting lines.

Tip of the Day - Insert a Machine Stop. I'm just using a 2 centerdrill, that flatbar is 1" tall. That will grab every entity in the sketch.

SolidCAM CAM Software: iMachining Overview
For just a professsor words or maybe for a logo that will get cut a lot, I solidca, definitely see that it would be worth the effort to sketch the centerline of each letter.
The funny thing about this is that it engraves them in random order, like it'll do half of one word then move across the workpiece and start another word, or half letters then finish them later. How to add a machine to iMachining library.
Select 'faces' in the next window and pick the face that has all the text on it, then at the top click unselect and click anything you don't want to engraving. Then you go back into the dummy block and import the DXF, this converts all the text lines into sketch lines! It's all surfaces etc, and a little beyond me really, but I've learned so much by trying to figure it all out.
Thanks for the tip! Tip of the Day - Facebook Users Group. Tip of the Day - Provessor Accuracy. There's no face, just a line.
Tip of the Day Videos. Tip of the Day - Move Operation in Tree. However my first real engraving project was supposed to be a few paragraphs on the back of a 4"x4" AL plate. In the end it was definitely worth it, looks so pro! Besides their unbeatable price, they provide the following advantages: It doesn't seem to want to turn corners, just do straight lines and dashes. When you have a lot of lines in a sketch to turninto geometry use the "CAD Select" or some such - I'm at home right now and don't have SolidCAM loaded on my PC and just pick the sketch from the feature tree that appears in the model window.
By clicking, you agree to load the YouTube video. It does the straight sections just fine, like the 1, part of the "d", etc, but the rest are just dashes. Exit Sketch, start New Sketch.

True Associativity to design model, with seamless toolpath updates when changes are made. And it looks well sexy! Unlike other systems professog leave the user guessing, with a stockpile of broken cutters, iMachining comes complete with a Technology Wizard, that provides a reliable partner in determining speeds and feeds and other machining parameters to get the most performance possible out of the existing equipment.

Now I usually write it with single line fonts, right click and choose "dissolve text", that breaks it up into thousands of little lines.

Tip of the Day - Change Toolpath Color. Our advanced HSM systems also optimizes tool paths, reduces retracts and produce excellent surface finish with reduced cycle times. Also all sopidcam single line fonts have connecting lines "closing" the chain of each letter, which is annoying. Tip of the Day - Auto Chaining Options.
