anti-clockwise? Over here it is counterclockwise. :) -----Original Message----- From: Andy Beardmore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 2:55 AM To: 'smartcam user group' Subject: FW: [mfg-smartcam] Pocketing
<<POCKET1.mcl>> Here's a pocketing macro that i created for adding roughing paths. RULES:- 1.It only works with closed profiles. 2.draw the profile at the finished level of the pocket. 3.use profile top to specify where to rough from. 4.group the pocket profile you wish to rough out. 5.ensure the direction of this profile is anti-clockwise. 6.ensure the tool you use is in the job planner. 7.it only does one pocket at a time. This was just a quick fix for an application but it works fine. here's another version using a PCB panel to input data. > <<POCKET-R.mcl>> <<Pocket-R.pcb>> > Go on you know it makes sense.
