ArtCAMProTutorials From the beginning until professionalism

The tutorials contained within this manual are designed to help you to

understand the practical uses of the design tools and toolpaths

available in ArtCAM Pro.

The majority of the tutorials use example files from the ArtCAM Pro

7.0\Examples directory. If you cannot locate the example files used in

a specfic tutorial here, you must download the TutorialExamples.zip

archive from the Downloads area at http://www.artcam.com/.

You will require the Winzip application to use the files contained

within the archive. If you do not already have Winzip installed on

your computer, you can download a free evaluation copy of the latest

version from http://www.winzip.com/.

Extract the contents of the archive to the ArtCAM Pro 7.0\Examples\

directory, which is located wherever you have installed ArtCAM Pro

7.0 on your computer. To do so:

1. Using Windows Explorer, go to the directory to where you

have downloaded the archive named TutorialExamples.zip.

2. Right-click on the archive to display the context menu, then

click on the Extract to… option to launch Winzip and

display the Winzip Extract dialog box:
