My boss knows nothing about machining, design, or NC programming. Somehow he has decided that drawing is indeed the same as NC programming. We import from customers in various formats like autocad, pro-e, solidworks, etc. He believes this is therefore programmed and ready to dump to the machine. All you have to do is run a translater and you have it. He has spent thousands on CAD software and thinks you just take Mastercam to translate it apparently to generate the code. He won't listen to us that drawing is the easy part and then you have to program it to generate the NC. To make a short story longer...any text specific article you know of to explain the difference to him in layman's terms? Sure need it bad!! d.t
