Thanks Darren

Our machines have VS Controllers.

 

Vulcan does have an option in the license page to select File download which I`ve been told allows you to import files from outside Vulcan.

Is this what you`re referring to as the Add-in, and the link you provided?


The "File Download" option is for the machine controller. It allows the Vulcan controller to read NC files from disk which were produced by CAMduct or any other CAM software. Typically, a Vulcan controller would read directly from a central Vulcan database to get information from a Vulcan based input station.  With the File Doanload option, you would process your ductwork in the shop with CAMduct.

 

The "Add-In" I"m referencing, is an AutoCAD Add-In that would take items drawn with CADmep, and convert them into a format Vulcan (now called FabShop) can read. In this case, you would be using Vulcan/FabShop to process the ductwork.

 

The Add-In seem much more robust and functional now than it did the last time I tried it.
