Hi I would like to know how can I edit the drawing template because my project info in title block are sometimes quite long and it's overlapping to next box. Thanks.

Hi Tin,

Certainly can. It is a file called the TEMPLATE.CAM in your FastCAM Directory. Open that in FastCAM and you will be able to edit it. I would suggest edit a COPY of it however, and then use the copy.


You can find some more info on page 243 of the Manual:

Hi

Thanks so much for the reply. I checked but do not know how to move the text of existing template because we are not familiar with drawing in fastcam, we use DXF export from AutoCAD for parts. Can I have some guides only for editing template. Thanks.

Hi,

You can have a look at the drawing guide here:

As it comes to text, easiest thing to do would be to remove the existing text and then re add it on the spot you want it instead.


Cheers,

Alex
