thankyou for thatOn our website under the Support link, we have downloads for instructions, as well as driver software and cad software.
This is a test cut I tried to run. Star in a square. Makes dry run great. It starts out good just go to hell after a bit
I have downloaded the assembly manual, can I get some direction and password if needed for the software download? I think I was told that I would not be able to save anything. that's ok just want to get some hands on. or send it to me xfrito@prodigy.net lmk thanks joe
The differences between Version 8 and 9 are minimal, V9 adds Custom Parts (self explanatory), Hole Centers Tool Path and Ginsu Knife (there is a video showing how to use this), matter of fact the videos in the Torchmate University will get you on your way faster than any manual we can provide.
...Also not having the file go through a conversion between DXF and G-Code. My 3 cents of course...
This brings up another question I have been meaning to ask, is there a reason when I import a DXF from AutoCad into TM-CAD the drawing is never exact? I know this is plasma cutting here and tolerances are looser but I have been experimenting with this and I have to make a lot of corrections to the drawing once in TM CAD. AutoCad is like a third arm for me (been using it since Rel 11 - yikes!) so I like to draw mechanical stuff there and import. Thanks!
Chad,
Been playing around with this for a bit and it seems to be an issue confined to older drawings I did with Acad R-14 years ago. Also it is confined to circles and ellipses. Straight lines seem to be fine. Also these are 3-D drawings - don't know if importing 3d is allowed(?) Anything 2D freshly drawn in either R-14 or Acad 2007 imports fine within .003 which is plently accurate enough.
If you want I can still send you an old drawing with these errors in DXF and CDL but as long as I know I can import new stuff I'm good. Thanks!
