I got a pretty reasonable deal to upgrade to v23 pro from v22 non-pro. It only cost a little more than getting the pro upgrade for v22, so I'd say the price was fair!
v23 has quite a few new...
Thanks The One, I tried that and it seems to have sorted it - I'm very relieved!
However, I'm unsure as to why this happened and how it ocurred on 3 different computers that it was tried on?
...
I just tried making them all into contours, but the same thing happens.
I've also got other files that use contours and they suffer from the same thing too. Oh well, I'll keep trying random...
The software is all set up for metric, and I've been using it in metric for the last few weeks with much larger files using equidistant offset and plunge roughing etc, it's just when I'm doing...
Hi, thanks for your help!
Yes, it's metric, and I'm using Mach 3. I've tried other post processors and I still have the same issue.
I'm using v23 mill pro build 1276.
Any thoughts on what...
I have the same issue with Bobcad crashing before posting anything!
I've been using V23 for a few weeks now, and have had 0 issues doing various things with it.
However, just today it's started...
For $400, was that the Pro version with the better 3d tool paths etc?
I'm looking at getting either v22 pro upgrade, or v23 Pro. I've been offered V23 pro for $595, or v22 pro upgrade $395...
I'll put my name to that too - I've had few problems with V22, but being mis-sold it thinking it has the 3D tool paths built in was annoying.
Given that others have had the same experience, it...
I would also like to mention that I am satisfied with V22. I'm not running a machine shop, but it's done everything I've asked it to.
Perhaps it's cause I'm doing relatively simple tool paths...
Sadly I can't help regarding PCNC & Corel draw, but I can say that with Mach3 & Bobcad I was up and running pretty quickly and have had no problems that have been hard to overcome.

Hi Melville,
I have the S720, I didn't need to do much to set it up when I received it, I used Mach3 controller software, and BOBCAD for creating toolpaths.
What software are you using? ...
I have now installed the update, and it seems good, there are some more options, I'll have to check them out.
So I was correct about my n00bness... that really is Golden info about extracting...
Firstly I'll say, I'm a very happy Bobcad user. It's not perfect, but I've had no problems generating and using tool paths for anything I've wanted to do, though I'm just doing pretty simple 2/3...
Delivery time was as expected - I bought through prototools.co.uk.
Though I've not been doing high-precision work, so far the accuracy seems great. I've checked parts with micrometers after...
I'm a beginner - no expert, but I've recently bought a NCN-step High-Z S700 and cannot say anything bad about it. It's sturdy, well-built, and easy to set up & use.
With no CNC experience it was...
Well worth the money, really helped me get started!
Thanks! Easy when you know how ;-)
Hello!
Does anyone know how to change the default post processor in Bobcad rather than having to select the correct one each time bobcad starts up?
I'm using Mach 3 - Metric.MillPst.
I've...
I did my first CNC cut today on my High-z S-720, was nothing that exciting - just a small rectangle in some modelling wax, but it all went as it should. So far impressions of the machine are good,...
I've made some progress with the machine, and I think it's now ready to start cutting. After using the right post-processor with Bobcad, and fiddling with mach3 settings for ages, it now seems to be...
That's cool you got the card working.
I've got one of these:...
Will do - it's arrived, and I've got it running from a trial of Mach3, and from PCNC, but I'm a total n00b so will be a while before I've got it cutting things out.
Mach3 wants to do things 50...
I've ordered an S-720, should arrive within the next couple of days - I'll let you know how I get on, but I've never even used a CNC router before (or any other router/milling machine for that...
Yeah, maybe they should be clearer in their demo version which features are only in pro or bob art etc, maybe have black/red buttons for pro only features etc, would prevent some customer...
I've recently received V22, and it does seem good for doing parts from 2D files etc, but I'm having problems doing anything with a 3d file such as an IGES or STEP file.
I was not told by the rep...
