Arcdroid

[Baloo]

so whos got one ? and have you mastered simple trace, it must be because im an old fart im sure a ten year old would have it mastered in 10 seconds , i can draw up circles squares rectangles and i can trace but i cant get the hang of the curved line options, anyone got it sorted ?

ive obviously got a felt tip pen in the arcdroid instead of the plasma so i can sit in the spare room and tinker

its these 2 options i seem to be struggling with

Don't know if it's relevant, when drawing arcs/circles with early robots you program point 2 in your pic as a circle point and point 3 as the end position, but the robot would never drive to point 2 when stepping the program, you had to run the program so it could calculate the arc via points 1 - 2 - 3

Hi robostar
think i have sorted that one, it just takes a while to sink in lol, im sat here here drawing flanges just to get the hang of it, felt tip pen works well, just as well really because if i brought the plasma in i would be tempting the wife to commit a murder, curves are nice and smooth

well it seems you can teach an old dog new tricks lol, ive been sitting tinkering away and its slowly sinking in, i can draw straight lines and curves and even join them up into something useful, thats the outlet plate for the thermostat on my transit engine 2 days ago it seemed impossible but do enough and it sinks in
