Camplete training or tutorial

[Brian Pallas]

We fairly recently got Camplete with a machine purchase, and I was wondering if there are any good sources for learning to use it and the abilities it has other than just playing around with it?  Either tutorials or videos I can watch at home, or perhaps a training source that the company could buy? 

So far I have been able to find some info on Autodesk's website to change some settings to get the code to change.  Like today I noticed that I am not getting the R value output in my G05.1 line and found on the Autodesk website how to set that up, though I still need to actually make the change.  I think we just bought Camplete from the machine tool company, and I don't know if we have any support options.  Do the Camplete users out there just edit their own parameter's, or do y'all have a source for making the changes for you, similar to the MasterCam post editing?  I like to learn, it's more of a time issue, so I'm curious about what everyone else is doing with that. I wish Camplete had a home learning module like Mastercam does.

I've been getting code posted and am running it, but I know the software can do more than I know how to get it to do at the moment,  and I feel like the workflow I have with it can definitely be improved.  

Thanks

Yeah... shoot me a PM and I'll get you squared away.

I don't know if this is all customers but our Camplete help now goes through next-gen solutions. They have some videos on their website for altering output but their ticket response seems faster than Autodesk.

Thanks for the help and all the documentation James, I really appreciate it!

On it's way.

I did a video Mastercam project to CAMplete TruePath G-Code Export start to finish. There's no audio. I just created a document that explains the processes in more detail.

Keep in mind I've created a Mastercam Machine Definition, Control Definition and Post (renamed generic 5-Axis Mastercam post) - which is ONLY used for the text (Canned Cycles, Canned Text, Misc. Ints., Misc Reals, etc...) it does NOT generate good code for anything.

If anyone wants the document, DM me with your e-mail and I'll send it. Enjoy!
