Re: Inventor > G-Code - HOW!!??

We too used to just hand write the g-code for simple parts, but we managed to get our county ROP office to purchase 2 licenses of MasterCAM. MasterCAM imports inventor files directly very easily and some of my students who learned AutoCAD before Inventor find it very easy to just draw up parts in MasterCAM. Anyway, try to scrounge up a used copy of MasterCAM or maybe visit your local community college - they're a good resource as well. Sorry about all the MasterCAM plugs.

PS: check your pm
