ArtCam Training

Post by xoneeleven »

Hello All,
I got an ArtCam 2017 license, and am brand new to the software.
Unfortunately, I need a little help learning how to use it for a specific project.

Are there any ArtCam users out there that would be willing to train me for a day or two over Skype or WebEx?
We can discuss details offline, if someone is interested.

If this is not a good forum for this post, does anyone know of a good forum to use to seek ArtCam training?

Thanks in advance...

This is not trying to push you away; we're here to help where we can.

Are you not finding what you need on the Artcam pages (http://www.artcam.com/standard/) and tutorials? AutoDesk usually (at least with Fusion) has unexpectedly good documentation and video tutorials.

But, I do recognize that not everyone likes watching endless youtube videos (me too!), and learning from them is, well, "less than optimal" ;-).

Hopefully someone else can help you directly, as well.

Regards,

Thom

Hello Thom
We have gone that route, and are not having great luck, so far.

We have also tried Facebook groups. Although a few do try to assist. All they have been able to offer in terms of help, are actions that we have already tried.

So, I decided to reach out to individuals for a few hours of personal training, and offer to negotiate a fee to do so.

Thanks for doing the research before asking; sometimes it's difficult to tell whether the solution is one search away, and whether someone remembered to do that search first ;-).

If it's a 'point' problem you're stuck at, versus an 'area' problem that needs full-on training, feel free to inquire with the specifics, if you can. I suspect more than just me would download a trial and see if they can figure it out, just for the fun of it. Well, I'd HOPE they would :D. And if not, I'm certainly willing to give it a go, for exactly that reason. I like making machines bend to my evil will! :twisted:

Thanks Thom,
We did manage to find someone to provide training from an Autodesk forum.
