Re: Multiple Axis Systems

Chris,
can you point me in the right direction for the 'modeling' multiple axis functionality?
As for a helping hand, i wish i knew enough python and C++ to help but my skills are limited and i'm buried in other work tasks.
thanks

getting started tutorial for workbench development?

Re: Help with milling all the way to edge of part

I really hate to ask this, but how do i install this 'adaptive' tool? I looked at the GIT and it seems as though it needs to be compiled. and the commands to do so look like linux commands. I'm on win 7?
thanks

Re: Non-Looped Contour/Edge Cutting?

Josh and Gene, thanks for the replies. Gene, as for what i was looking for is something that i do with ease in a VERY old copy of BobCad. It's pretty simple with that software.
