Never having any CAD experience at all, and owning an underutilized Shopbot in our shop, I have set out to learn the Bot, starting with designing something on PartWorks. Well, I have it designed, but I am really challenged in figuring out the tool paths and how to cut some parts inside, some outside, and whatnot. My project is a variant of the locking joints found on Parts Wizard, and I would prefer that they fit when cut out
When I try to do the tool path, I end up with several cuts that have no tool path outlined. Would anybody be so kind as to let me e-mail them what I have, and help me through this. I ma guessing there are some simple answers, but after hours of working on it, I seem to be going in circles.
I will be attending a Jamboree at the end of the month and I would like to finish the design and do some cutting so that I have a bit of experience before attending.
Thanks a bunch!
