Re: [mfg-smartcam] tape to shape

[Michael E. Senack]

Is this Tape to Shape an tts.exe that you can download from http://www.microsystemsgeorgia.com/smartcamguys.htm website?   If it is, then it is not a macro. It is the Tape to Shape that our company purchased with SmartCAM V4.5 back in 1989 and it interprets ascii code into a .sh2 shape file which can read into any version of SmartCAM. It works great as long as your code is part shape. If it is center path of the cutter then you'll have to offset the geometry by the cutter radius. We use it at work to convert coded files for our AGIE wire machines that were created using Compact. In fact the opportunity arose today to convert a coded file from our Mazak milling center into SmartCAM to verify what was being profiled matched the die plate geometry that we wire cut.   Anyways, if it is let me know and I can give some help with it .

I am assuming it's a macro. I am currently using free form machining, version 11.5.   Thanks for your replies.
