Getting started with CAM add-on

I recently added CAM to my QCAD 3.4.0 (Linux openSUSE 12.3)

Started by experimenting with a simple drawing (circle and line) to experiment with GCode process.
Selecting CAMExport shows the command in the command window, but nothing seems to happen.

I am moderately familiar with GCode, never used CAM-Expert.

Pointers please to some documentation of some sort.
Thanks

Thanks for your report. This has been fixed in the latest release (3.4.2). You can download it from your download area:

Thanks, I now see the config window and can move forward figuring things out.

I have been reading thru the doc folder under camexpert.

Is there a way to access CAM Simulation under the QCADCAM 3.4.2 combined package?

Simulation is experimental (work in progress) but has meanwhile been improved. I expect to have a stable simulation tool for the next release.
