Hi all
We have had the above machines for quite some time but have had little luck with them. Ideally we would like to run them through techsoft design tools V2. Could someone please point me in the right direction for setting this up?
Many thanks

The DFX inport facility was added to VRMilling version 5.10. If it is before this then you can update via the Denford website to the latest version.
In VRMilling their is a tutorial that guides you through the procces.
You will need to open the "help" tab.
Then select "Tutorials".
Then open "Import Cam tutorial". (or similar)
The tutorial should open up & explain in detail how to export from Techsoft & create a toolpath program.

Thanks, but we know of this method. I have heard there is a driver available that allows you to output straight from 2d design the way you would with a roland modela or simular.
Thanks

Direct support for Denford machines was removed by Techsoft after version 1.
Unless they have added it back in I don't know of any other way to get a design from Techsoft to cut on a Denford machine (apart from the .dxf route Martin mentioned)
