I am very new to all this. Bought an older used machine and my partner and I are learning as we go. I having a problem moving the part from FreeCAD to PyCAM. One of your user did share a great tip to select the export >Mesh formats add .ast to ending (This stores an .stl in ASCII) Then rename it .stl . PyCAM finaly read in the file but there is still a problem. The block of stock is there but the pocket cut outs are not. I have tried it on XP and Win 7 same result. I am using FreeCAD V 0.14 32 bit and PyCAM V 0.5.1.1
Thanks for any help all Kev
