I am an engineer for a furniture manufacturing company. We are installing a cnc next week. I am hoping to get a quick start by using this forum. Any help is greatly appreciated.
We draw our products in AutoCAD 2000 and wish to import .dxf files into Part Wizard; however, before I go there, I wish to complete a very simple part.
I would like to draw a 15" x 6" x .75" drawer face and machine two grooves (1/2" wide x .25" deep) along both ends of the drawer face (parallel to the 6" side - inset 1").
Can anyone help me get a quick first lesson with this software? I currently only have the demo program, but I hope I can learn to do the above with it.
I have machined a groove; however, I couldn't tell if it was correct or not, because it did not display a finished piece with the groove in it. Simply a rectangle at the depth of the cut, which is parallel to the work-piece surface.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
