Tutorials - From a drawing to a cutting example

[blackburn mark]

There are some very good video tutorials for SolidCam that I found to be an excellent complement to the written materials (and can be found here if anyone is interested: http://www.solidcam.com/solidcam-professor.html). Each to their own, one supposes.

i did a bit of solidcam professer and the tutorials and the help files, it still boggled the s**t out of me for a good while
im not sure good cam software is intuative, soidworks is pretty easy to get into but solidcam is a bit of a **** .... you cant play it by ear at all but it starts getting petty slick once you press the right buttons and twiddle the right knobs :tup: it takes a bit of heart ache and pain first though

(i never could get it to make any sense of my 4th axis)

when i say "good" cam sofware i mean exotic... for doing acrobatic tool paths and all sorts of posh graphics for simulations.... probably a bit over kill for most and very very over priced for us mear mortals :)
