Computer aided Machining  (CAM) for OSX

I am in the CNC Machining business. I have made a decision to get my first mac. I know I can operate my windows applications in parallels but, I am considering that a patch. The two main program types we use are CAD and CAM. Currently Rhino (a 3d modeling software CAD) is beta testing & is going to offer CAD for OSX users. Unfortunately I cannot find anyone on the CAM side who is following suite. I currently use MasterCAM (TM) from Dassult Systems (TM). Does anyone out there know of a CAM supplier who is going to be OSX compliant?

Assuming this application provide you manufacturing data , as Mudadassar said you need to check if CAM you are trying to connect is OPC complaint so you can integrate efficiently.
Also you may need to check how that software will provide you data is it available through Webservice ,
Tags which you can connect using PCO or direct Historian database to connect with MII.

    Sorry if this is the wrong location for this question. I am looking for a decent program to run on my MacBook Pro to design a layout for a store. It would have to show top view(floor layout) and front views of the walls(cabinets etc.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    many thanks Carl.

    You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
    Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
    Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.

  • Time Machine backup for old computer has been named for new computer

    On my new Time Capsule, I backed up the entire disk from my older computer. While consulting with a live help technician for an unrelated problem, he had me reset the Time Capsule using the newer computer. To resume use of the Time Machine backup from my older computer, I had to gain permission . . . and subsequently discovered the reason why. Reseting with the new computer caused the backup volume to be renamed with the new computer's name.
    Sooo, 1) how do I correct the naming error, and 2) will further confusion occur when I then go to back up the new computer?

    It may or may not ask you to reformat the disk when you set it up as the backup for that new computer. If it does, I think you can cancel it.
    What I would do is open Migration Assistant, then import your applications/documents/etc. onto the new computer, and then use the Time Machine disk for backup (formatting it if it asks you to).
    You'll at least have recent files and stuff like that, which may not be as good as an incremental history but at least it's something.

  • Must I change my entire computer to Spanish to write Spanish documents in pages for OSX-Lion?

    Must I change my entire computer to Spanish to write Spanish documents in pages for OSX-Lion?

    If part of your issue has to do with Spanish-language accents, here's a guide (works everywhere in the Mac OS, not just within iWork):
    OPTION-e and tap a vowel gives you the acute accents  á é í ó ú
    OPTION-n and tap n  gives you the  ñ
    OPTION-1 gives you the inverted exclamation mark  ¡
    OPTION-SHIFT- / gives you the inverted question mark  ¿

    any ideas ?

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • Which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?

    which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?

    I totally understand.
    Check some things from here, I have 2 and they have been great so far.
    Check here, lots of storage and reasonable prices. Also great support, you get to speak to a person
    Clean off your on the G5 drive and off you go.
    I suggest buying a second drive and setting it up for a back up, Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper (both "bootable" back up) All searchable on the web.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/search/elite+pro
    You can talk to a person for REAL advice, Phone: 800.275.4576  Ask about exporting to your G5 and and exporting to your existing OSX, you may only need a small inexpensive drive for this.
    Quick delivery and willing to help.
    Hope this makes you back up and running :-)
    Do get a back up drive, as it is not ""whether my drive will fail, as much as "when my drive fails"
    All the best

  • Using Consumer Digital Camera for the Vision System

    I am evaluating, if I can use a consumer digital camera for the vision system. I wanted to see if anybody out there have done that in past? The other question is, do the consumer camera manufacturers provide the driver software in order to retrive the images directly from the camera to the computer ?

    I think your suggestion is right, using a firewire camera is much
    straightforward. But some consumer cameras have advantages too because
    of the very high resolution, especially the newer models of digital
    still camera. If the cameras support PTP protocol, then I have a
    LabVIEW driver for them. Check out more details at:

  • HDD formatting for OSX and Windows

    How can I format a HDD so that it is readable and writable from under both windows and osx?

    My "problem" is fairly simple.
    My brother gave me 2 200GB SATA disks from his Windows machine with his data and a new 500GB WD MyBook external HDD and asked me to move stuff from his 2 200GB disks onto the new external 500GB drive. I copied the data from his 200GB disks onto my Mac, then formatted the 500GB drive like I would for OSX and copied it. He could not read it. I re-formatted it to FAT32 and could not copy much. Then I formatted it to NTFS using some very very old laptop I found but could not copy anything onto it. HAHA. So now I am stuck with 400GB of his data on my HD and I need to not only give him his data, but also rid my HD of 400GB of his stuff.
    I tried doing the MacFuse and NTFS-3G but it did not work. I don't have access to his computer so I can't install anything onto it.

    Hello
    It's not the Macbook which is being retired - just the old software version that runs on it. Simply download and install the latest software version on your existing machine.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
    If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.

  • How can I reinstall iphoto for OSX 10.5.8 I had to delete the application

    How can I reinstall iphoto for OSX 10.5.8 I had to delete the application, and I can't find how to reinstall

    If your computer came with iLife pre-installed, then you will find iPhoto on one of your original installer discs.
    If you purchased iLife then you can restore it from the iLife DVD you received.

  • What version of iTunes for OSX.3.9?

    Hello all,
    It's been a while since I posted here, but so nice to see familiar names like Strider, Ron, Duane, MrTotes etc (incidentally Strider, your web pages on how the get the best out of OS9 were excellent for me back in 2001/2).
    My problem now is, I'm running OSX.3.9 and I've had an iTunes gift card for the last two years which is about to expire. I was hoping I'd have upgraded my computer by now but money is (always) an issue.
    I'm using iTunes 4 with a 2nd gen iPod (first one with the scrolly wheel I think). I wanted to use the card and download a bunch of songs, but I think I need a newer version that can support the purchasing of tracks. This one seems to have had the functionality fall by the wayside.
    If it's not possible to buy songs anymore in OSX.3.9 can I use my gift card with a friend's Windows machine, download the songs & transfer them via memory stick to my old Mac?
    1) The gift card has not been registered yet.
    2) I would probably need to make sure the tracks are DRM free before purchasing.
    On a side note, I picked up two minty fresh G3 iMacs last year for £20. One was a Sage G3 450, the other a Snow G3 600. I was so happy

    What version of iTunes for OSX.3.9?
    Click here for it.
    can I use my gift card with a friend's Windows machine, download the songs & transfer them via memory stick to my old Mac?
    Yes. Right-click the songs in iTunes and move them over as you would any file.

  • Install freezes at Looking for OSX....

    I'm tying to update a G5 PPC from 10.3.9 to 10.4. I purchased an general update DVD commercially but when I start the installation process the computer stalls out at "looking for OSX on this computer".
    Disk utilities etc. check out fine & the computer meets all the requirements for Tiger so far as I can tell.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Thanks Paul, yes that should upgrade from 10.3.x to 10.4.
