Where can I get names of dealers for Artisan in Ontario Canada? If I show up with a set of prints for jobs that we do at our place, will they sit down and show me how to program them ?
Or better yet, will someone(s) show up at our place and see our requirements and then go over the prints? -----Original Message----- From: Mark McCoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: SmartCAM User Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, May 18, 2000 1:50 PM Subject: Re: [mfg-smartcam] I-DEAS 8 Information from SDRC >Of the 20 Generative Machining enhancements I listed there are only 3 that apply >exclusively to contour applications.
