  1. Mastercam V7 only writes out ACAD 14 files. The company should be reading in the files as ACAD 14. Mastercam V8 will support ACAD 2000. If the file reads in correctly, but does not plot, it would appear to be an AutoCad or plotter issue, would it not? Provided more details on where the actual problem lies if you could. ------------------ eMastercam.com [This message has been edited by Webmaster (edited 03-30-2000).]
  2. There is a web-based translation tool called Babelfish that can be used to translate Forum posts into different languages: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ A 'Translate' button can also be added to Internet Explorer 5 to jump from any page directly to Babelfish: http://doc.altavista.com/help/search/avtools.shtml [Note: This message has been edited by Webmaster]
  3. Karl goes down in history as the first Member to use 'smilies' in a post.

  5. You can tell what Version of AutoCAD a DWG file is from by opening the file in an ASCII text editor (e.g. Wordpad). The first 6 characters are readable, and the rest will look like garbage. This chart is correct to the best of my knowledge: AC1006 - AutoCAD R11 AC1009 - AutoCAD R12 AC1012 - AutoCAD R13 AC1014 - AutoCAD R14 AC1015 - AutoCAD 2000 AutoCAD 2000 DWG will be supported in the Mastercam V8 optional DWG Converter.
  6. In Mastercam V7 Design, Mill Level 1 and higher, Lathe, and Wire, use the Bbox C-Hook to create a bounding box that surrounds your selected geometry. Optionally extend the X, Y, and Z dimensions of the box. Perfect for determining required stock size for a part. To run the C-Hook, use the Alt+C keystroke and select bbox.dll
