CSMITH1010637 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I am new to the IronCad community and have recently purchased a Tormach 1100. While I attempt to create some products I may need some help with IronCad. Please bear with me while I am learning if my question are basic in nature. Right now I am having issues with creating raised letters on a 3"x 2" belt buckle design and the placement of the 3 letters on the buckle.

CSMITH1010637 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 You rock. I have been struggling with this for a while now. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSMITH1010637 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Can I modify the text after its been extruded or Do I need to start the process over with a new 2d sketch text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 You can edit the Cross Section of the Extrude then edit the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSMITH1010637 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Is there a tutorial that explains the different options within the export window that pops up. My WTF buckle is not displaying the text when importing it into Sprutcam. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 What export format are you using, I would suggest Parasolid or ACIS. If SprutCAM cannot handle them, try STEP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSMITH1010637 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 ACIS is checked by default. I have enclosed a pic of the window I have questions about as well. It seem the IM messages are generating a SQL error and are not being sent to your Inbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Those are the IGES export options, they should work as is. The reason you might not be getting your text is it possible you created it as a separate part rather than a feature of the buckle. If so, you can start over and make it a feature or you can assemble the 2 parts and export the assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSMITH1010637 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Thanks. Assembly worked. Now playing with Sprutcam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
