Jamie: Please forward this message to Joyce Williams in Applications Marketting [2617]. It concerns the topics I will address at the AEC show in the ACAD in Manufacturing seminar. Topic: Four applications of AutoCAD/CAM 1) Replacement of existing Minicomputer NC coding system with AutoCAD and NC-Auto-Code. [Result: Faster NC, fewer errors] 2) Verification of PC Drilling using NAC and ACAD. Review holes drilled by CNC system for clearance checking. 3) Redundant but varied programming for punch press. Increased productivity from manual methods so much, able to expand CNC operations with two more machines from one to start with. 4) Using AutoLISP for true parametric CADD/CAM. Design input to NC in just a few moments. Time permitting, NC-Auto-Code/Synthesis/AutoCAD: Super Parametric CADD/CAM! An overview of the concept. Thanx Jamie, will try to make the CO Weds nite. —Bill
