Hi Armando.
That's looking really good! You've made much better progress than I did in the first week or two of getting ViaCAD - I'm impressed. Is it an escapement for a clock you're making, or just a practise piece?

I ungrouped the parts and saved them as an .stl file and a .dxf file and loaded them in to CamBam with no problems at all - that's why I like the combination of ViaCAD and CamBam - it just seems to work without any messing about.

Nice work, keep it up :D


All the best.
Martin.

Notts? Ckikey! I'm just down the road from you (well down the M42!) :cool:

Martin, I thought you were in the States! :o

I'm surprised you couldn't tell from my accent. :)

You might be just down the road from me Tom, but I bet the journey time to my house is similar to where you thought I lived, what with all the road works and diversions we've got over here. I'm glad I've got sat-nav to help me through, 'cos I don't know what I'd do without my TomTom, Tom.:D :confused:

Martin.

Well Martin, just thank your lucky stars that you aren't a member of the "tom-tom club"! :D:D ;)

Fortunately those major roadworks are only affecting the M1, not the M42. But on my bi-monthly venture up to my wife's folk in Selby the other day, we were blessed with those lovely roadworks. It took 4 hours rather than the usual 2.5. :mad:

Hi Martin.
Thanks, I knowledge in CAD for many years.
Yes, it is an escape for a watch that I'm doing.
The file tic_tac2.vc3, I saved it as file .DXF and loaded in CamBam.
The combination of ViaCAD and CamBam is excellent and very good.

Cool! two people meet, TTRW and you the time machine! :D

Regards,
Armando

Yes, many people don't realise this, but Martin is otherwise known as "The Doctor" ;):D
