File transfer from TorchMate Cad/Cam V9

Post by AMDG »

Hey all,

Every time I transfer a file from the Cad/Cam program to Visual Machine Designer it defaults to tool #2. Is there a way in the Cad/Cam program to make it see tool one before I export the file?

If I make a square and export it to VMD it shows the path and will trace the cut with tool #2. If I export a word inside of a box. (I convert the text to graphics, then make path, create tool path, delete the shape, export only the tool path. When I import it into VMD it shows tool paths that look like it's set-up for a cnc router to cut. Shows the tool radius and everything.

Any info on how to get this thing working correctly would be great!!!

Thank you
