Gonna be a fireworks show!!!please do tell. Ill start a new one and post the emails between the SLC office and me. Be carefull, they will do you dirty and have some bad ethics. Though as of today i have severed all ties with delcam. It is open to anyone, tough it isn't as lively as some others. Otherwise, feel free to ask away either here or on the FC forum. There is a gsg.pdf, which is the getting started guide, and there is a post.pdf for building or modifying your own post. I have UG_part1.pdf, ug_part2.pdf, these are the manuals.

Make sure each feature is complete and is exactly how you want it on the simulation. Take whatever drawing you have ( solid or 2D ) get your stock set up, set your XYZ coords to the stock and start programming each feature just as you would by hand. The CAM side OTOH is brilliantly comprehensive. Unless you have nothing else, I would try to shy as far as I can from drawing anything in FC, that part suck major league. I've never had any formal training on FC, but what made it easy for me to learn is to take an existing program I had ( pre-FC it's all fingerCAM or ACAD to Bobcad and all manual ) and
