Vector will not produce sbp code

[paul60]

I need the Vector configuration file to generate numeric code for SB Control software version 3.4.25

I design with Vector but using the older config file for SB v.2.38 seems to result in oversize parts on the table.
Strangely, the oversize is precisely the dia. of the 3/8ths router bit we're using!
We've checked offsets,etc, but can come up with no logical explanation other than we are (very likely) using an old fashioned .cfg file to generate NC for a brand new SB-PRT and its v.3.4.25 control software!

Anyone who has the newer .cfg file for 3.4.25 might do us a big favour and email it (attachment?) to both paulmagras@caribsurf.com and to pcdoctor@sunbeach.net
-OR- supply a website URL where we can go get our own!

Thanks for your help

The last Vector config files to generate NC for the older DOS-based SB Control software can still be found at SB webpage url..
http://www.shopbottools.com/drivers.htm


and looks like this.....................

VECTORCAM
* shopbt2d.cfg (22KB) - ShopBot configuration file for Vector 8
* shopbt2f.cfg (7.8KB) - ShopBot configuration file for Vector 9


- whether they're suitable for making N.Code to be fed to SB Control software 3.4.25 would need to be answered by someone more knowledgeable.

David,

I sent you the shopbt2g.cfg file. All will output suitable code for the ShopBot. Some of the older ones may have given problems with causing CG loops instead of arcs, but that has long since been taken care of. Just be sure to set your dialog digits on the NC side to 6 digits.

Many thanks. I'll be trying it.
