does this program work with metric units, and if so, where to change this

[radioshack7]

@First2ner In the menu bar (BobCAD v24). Go to preferences and then "settings part" or "settings default" and switch the units to metric.

@radioshack7 Cool, thanks

How do you make your PC ''talk'' to your CNC? what electronic components did u use (exp. motor controller... etc.)

i'm learning myself, i have V23 I have no cnc exp either.

so I have a question.

I set all my cuts and generate a code, the problem is it doesnt return to 0

when the parts complete, it stays in the tool path at last cut depth.

I want it to return back home 0 0 0

got any ideas?
