Thank you for your prior response. Based on that I have a new question you might be able to help me with: If I were to upgrade the version (Artcam 2009) to a current version, what are my options and what would be the cost?. Do I have to buy a brand new software,, or is there a version I can upgrade while still using the same USB Key (that would run in windows 10)?.
This is correct, products older than 2015 are no longer supported by product upgrades for newer versions. Autodesk no longer uses that model it has moved to subscription based software. Please contact the Sales Team or visit the Locate an authorized Reseller site if you are interested in purchasing software. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

Using USB dongle number 122351, your company is entitled to use ArtCAM Insignia 2011.SP1 (build 367). You can find the system requirements for the ArtCAM 2011 product range here; although the ArtCAM 2011 product range is not supported on the Windows 10 operating system (the software pre-dates the operating system), it should work without any issues so long as all other requirements are met. Please ensure that you have Internet Explorer 11 installed, as the ArtCAM software interface makes use of it.
After checking that the PAF Licence file (REP15-01P.paf) is in all the locations mentioned and that the USB dongle is connected to your computer, please start ArtCAM Insignia, select the Help > About ArtCAM Insignia menu option, and check that it reads ArtCAM Insignia 2011.SP1 (build 367).
Please select the Edit > Options menu in your ArtCAM software to display the Options panel, and then confirm your Auto-Recover Settings by taking a screenshot and attaching it when replying to this post.
By default, the auto-recover function writes a temporary file to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp folder on your computer. Therefore, please confirm whether you have Administrator permissions associated with your Windows operating system account, and whether you have any security restrictions implemented with saving to the C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp folder on your computer.

Your reported issues are likely to be happening because you have not updated your Autodesk ArtCAM Standard 2018 software since installing it. Therefore, please install the Autodesk ArtCAM 2018.2 Update, as directed here. You should install all available updates offered by the Autodesk Desktop App, including those for the Autodesk License Service, Autodesk Manufacturing Data Exchange Utility 2018 and Autodesk Manufacturing Post Processor Utility 2018. It is important to ensure that your Autodesk software is kept up-to-date.
I was finally able to work around the problems with ArtCam 2018. I can't explain why the program seems to be running so slow. Sometimes it seems to take a long time for windows to open and simulations to run. I have Windows 10, Inter I7 with 16 MB of ram.
Please follow the instructions given here; you can install updates and hot fixes using the Autodesk Desktop App, or download them separately from the Product Updates area of your Autodesk Account and then install each of them manually.
The best software for driving a 5-axis machine is EMC2 and is FREE.
The only downside maybe is that it runs on Linux but this is not
really much of a problem as it is easy to set up a computer to run
both operating systems and many windows programs can be made to work
directly in linux. EMC2 is open source and has been used for a wide
range of control applications from simple mills and lathes up to
full blown flight simulators and robots. Look at www.linuxcnc.org
for more details and you can download a CD image from there that you
can either install onto your machine or just run as a live CD to
test the system (although running from the CD does slow everything
down considerably). There are also good support forums (fora?). For
a CAD package it would be hard to beat Artcam.
Right-o on that one. If your looking for model generation software
that will give you tons of flexability, look into something that uses
the Rhino modeling engine (Based on the 3DSmax platform???) , I
believe GemVision uses this engine too. Solidworks is a good choice
to and has tons of plugins availble for various needs.
We have 3 different tiers, Maker , Maker Plus and Carveco, our Maker and Maker Plus range get the job done for most but those that really need the detail quality in microns we do have the flagship product Carveco. Maker is aimed more at 2d design and machining, but also offers 3d import and 3d machining, where as Maker Plus offers 2d and 3d design (shape creation) and 2d and 3d machining, along with more production based machining capability.
If you get shocked at the Carveco price tag as we see that pop up alot on forums and facebook, then just think this is niche, and is used by large brand companies to create the things we all use on a daily basis. So for example, Carveco (the flagship version) is used by most of the worlds Mints to make the coins we use daily, its used to design alot of the candy and confectionary, its used in movie props, its used to create the greeting cards we send and its also used by fine jewellers. But the cool part is that our maker and maker plus products are based upon our Carveco product with certain bits of functionality removed, so you get the same quality of toolpaths and design options just fewer niche features. Comparison wise Maker and VCarve Pro and close, and Maker Plus and Aspire and close.
Great of you to introduce yourself and offer support. I just purchased a Carveco Maker subscription, hoping to do more artsy projects (signs and such) and inlay work. Will check out the learning resources.
Roger Webb is a lovely guy, and his YT videos are great, TBH a good few great YouTubers about. Im here to help where ever I can, we are a pretty contactable company, you will find us all over Facebook Groups, and on forums, and on YouTube and everywhere else, as its not just a job its a hobby and we love seeing what people make.
Hey Garrett great to meet you. The artsy stuff is what we love aswell. I have a couple of other guys coming to me tomorrow to do a sort of make off over lunch as a personal fun challenge, trying somethign we havent done before. We are setting up 2 gazebos with 2 machines and seeing what can be done. A bit of fun for a wednesday to lighten the week up.
Hello Robert,
I bought a one year subscription to Maker, will probably upgrade to Maker+ soon. After using Smartcam for about 30 years and Mastercam for about 10 years, I appreciate the quality of your product. All of my work has been on vertical milling machines. Recently retired and excited to get my Onefinity in September. New to the artsy side, so there will definitely be a learning curve. Wondering if there is a post processor yet for the Onefinity?
Once this whole pandamedic has slowed down more we will welcome anyone to come and visit us, and even spend some time playing in the workshop when its back up and running, and for those in the US, we will look at doing something else aswell once travel restrictions are lifted.
So Ben Myers yesterday tested one that we sent him over and it appears all good, so Leighton will be converting the rest of them today and tomorrow, and Ill upload them on here, and pass them to OneFinity and we will also put them in the next build of software.
As a complete novice to CNC and awaiting for Santa to bring my 1F in December I just want to make sure I have got my head around what software etc is needed to actually getting the machine up and running.
First is the CAD end where I have a basic knowledge, 2nd is CAM - after various YT searches- I favour Carveco and 3rd requirement is the post-processor. Has Carveco a post processor for the IF as yet?
Is my 3 step thinking correct?
What CAD-CAM- Post processor set up can some of you guys recommend?
Any and all help appreciated.
Hey Pat, So Carveco products take care of the design and the toolpathing side of the equation the CAD and CAM, including creating the GCode in the form of a Onefinity Post Processor, which we do have and has been approved and checked.
