Found it , will have website corrected.

Try contacting sales they may be still able to send you a 5 day link to evaluate the software that way.

checked line seems fine , make sure you are calling 727-489-0003 . this is the direct line to tech support .

If not email into [email protected] this will go right to the reception there as well...

Make sure on the MULTIAXIS POSTING page the MACHINE DEFINITION ZERO is set to REAL MACHINE ZERO.

This will effect the code just how you described it.

This page is in cam defaults and current...

The DEMO on the website is a demo of all versions . If you had a five day trial of V25 at one time that would have had to be emailed to you by sales or you used the install Cd . The full install is...

The STL file type in bobcad is limited on what you can do with it.
You can open , reposition , and scale in cad .

In cam you can just 3D toolpath it . The models has no edges and is a mesh .
...

I would try like .003 or even .002 for the arc fit tolerance . It can cause erratic toolpath if tolerance set to loose for the cut
See if this helps. Don't forget to re-calculate toolpath after .
...

If you are using arc fit this can be a tolerance issue . Try tightening up the tolerance. and see if it is any better. The simulation in V25 didnt show this that well , but the simulation in V26 will...

V26 Profile and 3D pro toolpaths support dovetail cutters . You go into the tool crib and choose cuter type dovetail on left .



MikeG

In the preferences menu and part then goto system and set the spline facet tighter . Try and see if works

If you are using arc fit try tightening the tolerances for it .

Make sure you are not using a post from an older version in the V25 software , the posts have new variables added at each version release and if not recompiled by the post department may cause the...

The V26 Lathe machine does not need to be changed from the default and should not be at this time. this is there for future development of live tooling , but not used at this time.

You can rename...

Just wanted to post a link that will give you 20 Gig of free file transfer and storage space through COPY.
This is a very handy tool since the common file size of users part files with toolpaths...

The work offset you are referring to is used for moving the part around in the simulation , when you have the full machine simulator.
It is also used in multiaxis calculations .
for basic 3 axis...

The above listed videos were made in V26 , but before the update that came out a couple of weeks ago that added some functionality. To say that it was done in v24 or V25 the cam in V26 is much...

In the V26 software for drilling the Rapid Plane Value is the Initial Plane Value. And the Feed Plane Value is the Retract Value for the Drilling Canned Cycles. If you are long coding these then they...

Troncatore,

The file you sent simulates fine on my bobcad. I did switch to the default 4 axis mill for my machine since I do not have the one you had listed. it may be the machine you have chosen...

The Bobcad file had no features of toolpath on it?

In the cam tree under the profile feature you created , right click on start point , then click on modify. Here you will see arrows appear on the paths , just click on arrows to change there...

the confusion was the difference between solidworks features and bobcam features , we were stating bobcam features not the solidworks features .
Sorry bobcadguy , bobcad only sees what is selected...

Unless you have the multiaxis portion of bobcad ( 4 axis Pro , 5 axis standard , 5 axis pro ) the simulation will not show the machine components ( stl files) of the machine . It can be defined in...

PLEASE POST YOUR FILE , WITH TOOLPATHS , AND WHAT VERSION AND BUILD OF BOBCAD YOU ARE USING.
THANKS
MIKEG

What version and build of bobcad are you using. If you are using 2 separate features in the cam tree for the pockets then it should lift to the clearance plane if this is not happening this needs to...

clearance plane is always an absolute above part zero , not top of part , rapid plane is an incremental distance above top of part value. Im not sure the reason you are wanting the different lifts. ,...

There seems to be a lot of confusion on how the clearance plane and rapid planes work since the new stock wizard and machine setup have been added.

The clearance plane is an absolute number that...

The V25 Simulation will not show indexes that are done with the output rotary option in the toolpaths.
This is because it is a user input and doesn't pass through the machine info . It is just...

Just wanted to clarify a little on clearance plane , rapid plane , feed plane , and top of part .

The clearance plane should always be higher than your rapid plane . This is an initial move at...

Make Sure You are on the latest build of Bobcad V25 it is Build 895 .

Goto help and about bobcad to see what you are on .
