Anyone played with the Dolphin CAD/CAM Partmaster? They have a free download to try out.

Been playing with it a little bit, and even created and run a few tool paths. They have good tutorials to get you started.

The prices are very negotiable. Been in Email contact with them and they where willing to deal.

Where do I put the Post Processor file for the Dolphin CAD/CAM? Does it go in my Mach 3 folder?
What are the steps to take a CAM written Program, and get it brought up on the Mach 3 ?

Thanks Matt

Left hand option on the Mach3 toolbar has a 'Load g-code file' selection. Once loaded the g-code is visible under the program run tab.

Iv use partmaster i bit but only on a EDM but i soon went back to doing my drawings in cad and then importing was a lot faster that way as i didn't like the way the snap and a few other things work.

Have you tyred looking at CamBam very easy to use and very cheap all so
