hpgl conversion problems
Hello, I have tried to generate a cutfile for my CNC mill (hpgl) with CAM expert. It looks ok, apart from two things: 1. I have specified to order lines from inside out, but this is not done when the outside line is a circle. 2. One part is looking ok in CAM expert, but the hpgl code is erroneous. I...

I didn't understand everything of your last post, but I can answer a few ones: - The full version is a new download, not a key. After purchasing, you get a download link where you'll find your pro versions. - Finding the middle of something works with "snap to middle point" or "snap to center" depen...

As I said, I have never used the serial cable. The guy I got the plotter from was an architect who was gearing up. He showed me the plots and they were fine. As a matter of fact, so are mine when prepared with windows software like Autosketch, AXCAD or AutoCAD (these I get ready to print - just "cat...

No windows here, I am using Linux (ubuntu x64). I have assumed HPGL is a subset of HPGL/2 so that my printer would understand it. BTW, my CNC software (PCNC 3.0) is supposed to understand HPGL, but it chokes on the files generated by CAM Expert, too. :( Using Camexpert with Linux is why I hooked up...

parallel polylines on different layers in a block
Here is the scenario: I am editing a block and want to make a parallel polyline on a different layer. I select the layer, draw the polyline and everything looks ok. When I leave the block editor, however, the whole block (not only the new polyline) is suddenly on the layer I have drawn the parallel ...

OK, here is some new data along with things I don't understand. All data gathered with my HP 430. 1. Setting the paper and using the print preview doesn't seem to affect the CAM export in any way. 2. Selecting something and then do CAM export *does* affect the output in a weird manner: You do not ex...

Thanks for the replies My problem is as I said that the drawing gets clipped and is out of position. I haven't used the print preview because I thought it won't give me the same things as the CAM export file, but I will do that right away. I'd be a bit loth to invest money into a parallel-to-serial ...

HPGL and feed
The CNC mill I am getting understands HPGL. However, for different materials and drill sizes, I'll have to have different feed rates to be efficient w.o. breaking my drills too often. I can see feed rates for g-code but not for hpgl. Another thing I cannot find but where I am pretty sure it must be ...
