I am new to FeatureCam, but have previous programming experience. So the first thing I started looking for in FeatureCAM was a macro recorder or someway to almost completetly automate graphics and tool path for families of parts. I have seen some of the options within FeatureCAM for families of parts, but it does not appear to completely automate the programming and still requires a programmer to be present. My previous software experience allowed me to record every step of making a part program from beginning to end (including generating code and automatic printing) and then add variables and or formulas that allowed the user (NONPROGRAMMER) to simply answer a few dimensional questions that appear in a popup or panel, thus allowing me to stay home on weekends if I wanted to or not have to come in if I were sick or hurt. I also created a button on the top toolbar for the NONPROGRAMMER to be able to select from the different programs created. The other advantage was that some parts would take 2.5 hours to two days for me to manually program would now take 5 minutes or less using a properly written macro and the program would be correct every single time. I am curious if anyone else has an interest in making this an improvement within FeatureCAM, or has a comment about it? If you do have an interest in this improvement please make sure you create a ticket in the "Ideas and Suggestion" section of the Autodesk Support Requests so they understand the volume of need for this improvement.
Thank you fro reading.
