Autocad to Mastercam

[Todd Mann from Fastech]

Does anyone have a software program that will compare Autocad to Mastercam and show the differances?

[Steve Zirtzman]

I have never heard of such a program.

[Pete Rimkus from CNC Software Inc.]

We're adding a Change Recognition function to X2. You can graphically compare 2 files of any type that we import.

 

Steve - you're a Beta tester, right? - you can do that now! Open the MCX file, go to File/ChangeRecognition, and select the AutoCAD file.

 

----Edited-----

 

One quick item regarding that which would be important to consider - right now the X2 Beta Change Recognition function ignores text and dimensions. So it might NOT be so helpful when comparing to AutoCAD...

[Steve Zirtzman]

Pete,

I know that I can compare the files as airborneman would like to do. The new Change Recognition and File Tracking functions in X2 are looking awesome! I just never know how much to say.

[Todd Tracey from Fastech]

Yeah, what Steve said as Airborneman is one of my customers

[Pete Rimkus from CNC Software Inc.]

Understood.

Nothing wrong with saying that it's coming, I believe...

[Steve Zirtzman]

airborneman,

Do you have a project that I could use for testing, or were you just asking for future reference?

[Todd Mann from Fastech]

Steve yes we do but I am not aloud to send the drawing they are proprietary.
