Hello All:
It's been a while, but I'm back. Using TurboCAD v7.1 build 63.2: We are using our ShopBot to cut circlular window trim. In the past, I have drawn the geometry (basically 2 arcs connected at the bottom by horizontal lines), created the toolpath in Part Wizard, and cut the trim on the ShopBot.
The boss wants another employee (with zero CAD experience) to be able to do everything. I want this employee to be able to run a macro and input the window width, trim width, inside height, and starting point. The idea is to have the macro create the geometry in the right place on the ShopBot table.
Importing the geometry into Part Wizard, etc. is something else, and I will train him how to do it.
Can anybody help? If so, please email me and I will send you an example TC file. Thanks, Kevin
