Converting Emachineshop file - RC-Monster Forums

Ive designed a battery holders for the BL savage using the emachineshop software. Ive sent the files to 2 machine shops but they cant open the file and ask me to convert the file into DXF. Does anyone know how to convert? Or is there any other way to open .ems file using other CAD softwares? Maybe Dafni or Serum can help me on this..

Thanks

try the file>export option.. (it can be safed as DXF there)

Are you willing to share the batterieholder with me?

Thanks serum!! Sure can dude!! But I have to make some modifications to it. Just learn how to use the software. I'll sent it to you when they are done. Its basically aluminum u-channel but I put some design on them.

Okay, let me see them if you think they are ready!

I'm a noob at CAD stuff. Never tried anything, I think it's to complicated for me:o

I want a free cad program, is this emachineshop thingy free?

Yes it is free. Have to go to the site and down load.

I found it but their program isn't that good it's very hard to use compared to solid works. Anybody know of any other free cad programs.

What is up with the solid work? Is that a free program? Where do you get that from? I didn't think emachine was that bad. I haven't tried but one other program many moons ago. Around the orginal pentinum days.

Solidworks is a very expensive cad program, I found it very easy to use though.

well, i can do someting with emachineshop, you need to start working with it, and then you'll understand it. It's quite easy actually..
