How to mill this part?

Post by ShadowVoice »

Hi All!

I'm a newbe doing my first steps with VisualMill.
Still can't find a way how to process a part attached.

Can anyone give me a hint or vcp file? Can it be done with VM at all?

I tried to open your file with visualmill ,and .vcp files are not supported,
You will have to convert it in your vcp program first . Unless I am missing something

As much as I know VCP are - VisualCamPart files... there shoudn't be problems to open it in VisualMill.

Original file was IGS, but regret I can't attach IGS here... Than I imported that IGS into VisualMill 6.0 and saved. That's it.

OK, here comes another puzzle - pls see file attached.

Due to total shortage on intelegence I can't mill this part as well. I know its quite easy to produce, but - pls point it out how!

OK, this issue is solved, but previous case is still open.

I would suggest getting some on-line training from our support department. Questions such as "how do I mill this part" are best addressed in a training session, if some other uses are not able to help you.
