Re: [mfg-smartcam] Freeform/Advance Milling

Dear friends, how best can a model created in Catia V5 be imported into a latest version of smartcam freeform machining software ? thanks in advance best regards Raghav Jon wrote: Free form does not do solids, however it will do multiple surfaces.  Advanced will only do one surface at a time.  In freeform, you can group a whole mess of surfaces and tell it to surface machine them at one time.  That seems to be the big difference.
