Hi John, Dave, I finally found the URL for TCi. There are some additional EMP's there, if you are interested. I emailed Bruno about the Gerber header, and...

Hi Alan, I'm definitely interested in what your program can output. As you know I'm working on the same algorithm, so any development in that area is beyond...

Hi Dave, Which file did you try to get? I just tried the CNC, worked OK. Files are under files/TCI. Sometimes the link on the notice gets cutoff, and you...
Hi Alan, I am hoping my next PCs are less complicated. I spent days getting my DXF file just right. I tried every program there is. The TCI program is very...
Hi John, No, I hadn't seen target. Similar to Eagle? 100 pins limit, might be a little tight. I'm thinking that I will probably upgrade on Eagle, IF I can...
Hi Alan, After I made a test board. I then saved it to a directory. Then I found when I clicked on Gerber a set of Gerber files appeared in that directory. I...
Hi John, KCam! OK, now I remember you saying you used it. Can KCam then export in DXF? Sounds like a plan. Let me know how it turns out. I'd like to see...
Hi Alan, I turned a trace into a ruler at the bottom of the drawing. This way I could figure out what scaling to use. I found the KCam left out some traces. So...

Hi Dave (and list), I just uploaded a Gerber file (from Eagle demo), and the DXF and CNC files I created from it! No sorting done, so probably wanders all...
Hi John, I haven't played with KCam enough, I guess. I gave it a Gerber file, but I didn't see anything (graphics), just a few random lines. I looked at the...
Hello Alan and group, It appears that I didn't copy the current version of my software ToolPathPro V1.0 from my computer on the last project I was on(good ...
Hi Alan, TCI makes three Gerber files. One of them has the pads and traces. When I plot the Gerber I get lots of BLUE lines. Red is cut and blue is travel....
I'm thinking of getting TurboCAD. I see that there are some on eBay, from V6 to 7. Is anyone here running earlier versions of TurboCAD, or better have run...
Hi John, Well, I wouldn't say it's a "very simple program to write", right Dave? I've seen the three Gerber files from TCi. Silk, component, and solder. Both...
Steve, I bought mine in the store for $30. If you want the scan of the box let me know because there are several versions out there. Mine came with a video...
The freeware version works great for drawing pcb tool paths. You can make your own component library and drag and drop the components just like a pcb package....
Not easy by any stretch of the imagination. If anyone doesn't believe me, take a look at http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/studentwork/CESCG99/SKrivograd/ This page...
Hi Dave, I ment the guys who make Eagle or Target. Make a drawing program that saves the pad outlines as Gcode or PLT. Running a post processor is after the...
Yes, please scan it. I'd like to know what version you are using, there is the regular, Pro, and there's a sort of low end one that pushes itself as "Learn...
John, I now know how you feel. I spent hours and hours drawing a board in TurboCAD only to find out that when I milled the board, I had inverted one of the...
Right on Dave! Glad to hear you're again working at it! Yeah, that's an interesting page. Wish I'd seen it BEFORE I started on my code. Did you see the ...
