| Does anyone use Vulcan 5.6 software and know where to change lead-in data? I have a customer using this software. He told me that his software did not add a lead-in. I took a look but did not find anywhere to change the lead size or turn it on/off. They bought the machine used & Vulcan support says they are not allowed to answer any questions without a service contract. |

This type of policy always amazes me; We want your business (but) first show us the money 
I do hope you find the help here... |

| I do not understand this approach either. You can bet he will upgrade in the future and will first consider other programs and/or vendors. |

| I stopped by & found that by drawing the leads manually, the program will alter or change lead angle. It seems to try to do something. Basically it adds a lead or replaces my lead if draw one in cad otherwise nothing is added. Fittings have no leads either. They dont use many fittings anyway only cones. Almost all parts are drawn in cad. They are just adding the leads manually. |

| Depending on the controler you have out in your shop. you may be able to adjust your lead in or your lead out. it will do it for every piece it cuts out, I have worked with the lockformer control box and it does it for me all the time. hope this helps and hope you find a solucion guy! |

| Thanks for the input. I spoke with the software company later after they purchased an upgrade & service contract. They said that leads would have to be drawn in v5.6 because they didn't see it necessary to have leads. The new program puts leads on the parts generated from patterns but not CAD parts. You can manually enter leads in the CAD. Better than drawing them though. The old program had that as well but it did not work. A problem with that particular ver according to the software company. |
