Hi Bugattiman, have you tried the dongle for 3-d yet? Does this dongle plug into the machine?

Would you consider selling the 3-D dongle?

Burrman,

I will give it a try and let you know.

Thanks,

Good morning Burrman,

I only have one machine choice. BC_Mill. Where do I load other machines, including a BC_Mill_4th_Axis. They don't show for me.

Then, I think without loading a 4th...

aldepoalo,

I tried your steps but I don't have a drop down with various machines. Only the BC Mill. How do I load various machine templates. Also, is this why I don't get 4th axis menu options....

Hi Git-R-Done.

Not trying to be complicated. I have programmed the taper threads single point and tapered insert. If you would code a single point thread you would see that that the circle the...

I used the method McPhil used. I did it from ignorance. I never tried the setting for bottom of part. I was trying to simulate the fixture plate.

I ran the model in V23 with no problem. Then...

I experienced the same problem with build 208. However, build 169 did not violate the surface I created as a boundry.

I reported this problem to Bobcad. I havn't seen any other comment about the...

Well, apparantly other people have had the long delay of the white screen at startup. Build 208 is supposed to fix this.

Now my tool path ignores some surfaces and cuts right thru them. I have...

Hi Blackice,

I was re-reading my posts. Does seem scary with all the problems.

Actually, the problems are not Bobcad. They are this one computer that a heat sink popped off the north bridge...

Before you finish with the old computer, you will need to de-authorize the current install of Bobcad V24. Bobcad will want numbers from the authorization screen.

They can be fussy about giving...

Welcome New,

I export regularly to Catia (a Dassault systems). I export as STP format.

I finish my solid in V24, export as a .stp, add fillets in Catia. (Bobcad struggles with fillets that...

The latest I've read is there are not Dongles yet. However, the salesman I spoke with worked a really sweet deal on multiple licenses for me. I don't need the dongle anymore since he sold me...

In case any one else has this problem, I finally solved the long startup issue.

I changed just about everything, clean installs, etc. I finally changed the CPU and Bobcad V24 starts up in about 3...

Still having trouble.

Today I remembered I cloned the orignal hard drive onto a larger drive (couple years ago). I used the BIOS to boot from the old drive (win xp). I installed Bobcad V24...

The latest today was to uninstall Bobcad V24. Delete the folders (both places). Then I downloaded CCleaner and did a clean up of all broken links.

There were several Bobcad V24 broken links.

Here is what I tried so far.

This machine had V22 and V23 installed. I removed V22 with unistall. Removed V23 with uninstall. Removed V24 with uninstall. Removed both predators. Removed...

Need help with uninstall/re-install of Bobcad V24.

Running Windows XP, all latest updates and video drivers. The computer hung up on an un-related issue. I finally had to hard shut down the...

I feel a censor coming on:stickpoke

You should double check all the limit switches. From 1985 and shipping and moving, one may have gotten pressed. I may be stuck down. Lots of time a little WD-40 and effort will loosen them back...

You could transfer the license to yourself, then upgrade the dongle to V23. When you are all done, it would be cheaper to purchase another dongle directly from BC. Next best, put your V22 on ebay...

Hi,

I just experienced the same thing. I use Bobcad on several machines. All took except the last one. Bobcad won't launch. Instead of looking for the build, I just system restored to...

Good afternoon McPhil. Yes, the fanucs want the decimal place. If not there they assume you forgot and move it over for you 4 places. ie., F100 becomes F.0100.

And Burrman, Thanks. I ticked...

Hi, I do this occassionally. I imput the text file (x...., y.....), into Bobcad 21. To do this, open the nc side of V21. Cut and paste into the text section for Gcode. Use Edit, select all, then...

Hi All,

Has anyone tried the Predator over rides for feed rates?

For instance, If I post out of V23 with feed rates that are F100. , then load the posted program into Predator editor. If I...

Be very careful!! Certain key combinations on a 6M give the directory. Other combinations on a 6M erase all programs. The key combinations are very similiar.

On an OM certain combinations...

Hi CNCWhiz. I have some old V16 disks and books. I'll look thru them Wednesday and let you know what I find.

We didn't like V16. If you need the book let me know.

Do you still have your...

The current output Bobcad Code is for inches feed per revolution.

I am running two VF-5's. The the older one will not allow feed per revolution (prepatory code G95). By default the older Haas...

Tommy,

You should confirm that your rigid tapping is 'on'. One TM1 had it on then after a lightning storm the parameter was turned off.
We had a devil of a time tapping and all the old...

Tim,

Kurt specifically sells 'matched' vises. They charge a premium $$$. It would be quicker to pull the slide and anchor off, flip the vise over and grind it to match the other.

Uncle Buck,

We do this on several machines with a high speed air attachement and jig grind a form.

On an older Fanuc OM, we use M19. After the machine has oriented, we attach the air hose. ...
