Re: Post Processor for Solidworks?

It is strange that Centroid isn't paying Solidworks or any other CAD software companies to make PP. The more 3D software Centroid is compatible with the more boards you sell.....

Post Processor for Solidworks?

Is there any plan to release a post processor for solid works? Specifically lathe in my case? I did not see any Centroid post processors in their post library.

Does U and W work on a G1 move?

Re: Solidworks for $38.50 a year

Oh bummer.....3 axis milling only.......
Uwe, Fusion is just cumbersome. Unnecessary parameters
I actually like using the Acorn conversational. It is quick and efficient for simple cuts. Too bad it can't do complex things.

Solidworks for $38.50 a year

Has anyone looked at the new solidworks hobbiest license? Only $38.50 a year. Does centroid have a PP that works with solidworks? I may give it a try as Fusion has become WAY overpriced and lacking on the lathe side of things. Anyone have any input?

I don't use tool number 1 . It is only for setting the part.

Re: How to set up drills with auto touch off probe. LATHE

Wouldn't you use half the diameter of the drill bit?
