Hey guys
just a few thoughts here.
I have a high speed cnc machining center (cnc mill)
it has 16mm pitch ballscrews and weighs 6ton
linuxcnc is awesome and does a great job controlling it. I make plastic
injection molds and lots of 3d machining all the time. plus all the little
jobs that a
Can you select, copy, and paste the code you see on screen to a text file?
I don't know, I didn't try.

How about HeeksCAD/CAM? https://sites.google.com/site/heekscad/
https://sites.google.com/site/heekscad/news/linuxversion
The only difference between the free and paid version is the free version puts
a note at the start of the G-Code it outputs, which can easily be removed with
a text editor.
Can you select, copy, and paste the code you see on screen to a text file?

I'm not a professional draftsman. I was initially intimidated by
FreeCAD, as many people naturally are. I knew when I was glomming parts
together using geometric primitives that I wasn't doing *real* CAD, but
that inelegant method allowed me to produce simple usable parts. Some
complex parts
In the meantime I've found that freecad treated my diameters as radii, so
the posted image is too big by 2x for xy. Its a 50mm diameter pipe,
35mm long, with a 28mm diameter bore. Makes sense, but big dummy at
work. :-)
That's a lathe job surely? Why are you trying to mill it?
Hope you

freecad has an export menu that claims to do gcode, but it does not
create the code, nor does it report any error I understand when going
thru the motions. freecad screenshot attached. A simple torus shape,
50mm in diameter, 35mm tall, with a 28mm center hole.
Good morning Gene,
I've looked

I would suggest

Have you tried simply asking it to reset your password? It will send it
to the email address you are trying to use.

And that part works fine. BUT I NEED A SOLID METAL PART! >

How many times do I have to say it? Freecad has an export to linuxcnc
menu. It does not work.
