If you don't click on the 'scroll screen with the mouse' icon, SheetCAM won't let you do anything else. Then click the 'scroll screen with the mouse' icon when you have moved it to the proper location. Click on the 'reposition drawing' icon and position the drawing to your satisfaction. Since my clamps are positioned to hold down my sheet of plywood at the very bottom left, if I don't move the drawing, the router bit will cut into my clamp. My SheetCAM is setup so that the drawing always appears at the very bottom left of my material. The drawing will appear on your material. Under the 'file' selection on the menu, select 'open a drawing.' Find your file and select it. OPEN THE DRAWING AND SPECIFY THE SETTINGS 635' I'm going to discuss this number later in this thread when I get around to zeroing my Z axis. You can reach this drop down menu by selecting 'Options -> Materials' in the menu along the top of the main screen. In this case, it is a 23' X 49' piece of 5/8 inch thick mdf. This screen shows where I am setting the dimensions of my sheet of plywood. No big deal because from what I remember, there is only one main screen in SheetCAM and all the settings are done on drop down menus.

I wanted to show a full screen shot like I have for TurboCAD and MACH3 but for some reason, the full screenshots for SheetCAM were almost illegible so I blew up small sections of the screen where there is information that was important to highlight. Next, we want to open SheetCAM and create some G Code. Save your work as a DXF file so that SheetCAM can use it. You must ensure that the rectangle and the circle are in different layers. Drag the cursor and release the left button when the circle is the desired diameter. Next, we want to draw the circle that will be cut in the middle of the rectangle.Д¬lick on the 'circle' icon shown in the red circle.Д¬lick on the screen at the location that you want the center of the circle to be. We begin in TurboCAD by selecting the 'rectangle' icon.Д¬lick the first corner where you want your rectangle to be located and drag and release the left button of your mouse when you have reached the opposite diagonal corner.

It is a 6 inch by 8 inch rectangle with a small circle cut out of the middle. Set the zero for your workpiece (in MACH3) Zero the machine coordinates for your Mechmate (in MACH3).Д§.

Run the post processor and save your G Code in a tap file (done in your CAM program).Д¦. Open the drawing and specify the correct settings (feed speed, tab locations, etc.)(done in your CAM program).Д¤. Add the specifications for the raw material from which you will be cutting the object (done in your CAM program).ДЈ.

Draw your object and set the correct layers (done in your CAD program).Дў. Also, if I have put out incorrect information, please don't hesitate to correct me. If anyone wants to add something, please feel free.

It is not intended to be a tutorial and I don't believe Gerald will want his forum tied up with indepth discussions about either of these software packages. The CAM program I use is SheetCAM and it is around $150 give or take a few $$ depending on the current exchange rate. TurboCAD Deluxe is the CAD program I use and it retails for around $100. This thread is designed to give the forum members, with no experience in CNC, an idea of what is required to cut out a simple design using relatively inexpensive 2 1/2D(imension) CAD and CAM software.
