I forgot to mention to hit the reset button. Typically that will fix it. Solid as you put it does as well although I've always found 5D to be the most reliable. As long as it's working that's the...
Change to Voxel 5D instead of 3D. its right below the Slider to adjust simulation speed.
Use 2D contouring and look for the tutorial video online. Also the angle is the included angle, not the angle of the tool itself so 45 would be what you want for 90. SprutCAM 7 is old and was not...
Program with the tilting 4th is the easiest if you need to see a visual representation of the part spinning.
I haven't had a single bug show up in 3 months. Also it uses the same dongle so you can still use 10 for files you don't want to update to 11.
When I inquired on pricing as I was curious about the same thing, it was 750 for the OEM only and 1,250 for All post. I believe they knocked 500 off the regular price.
So whats the point of coming out with a new version if there are no new features? In talking with Tormach/SprutCAM America the dongle is now kept with us and upgrades are sent to that dongle, no...
I've found resetting and then run has fixed this issue.
You realize that as software improves, settings on files made in previous versions change. There is no way around it and that is standard for software across all platforms. CAM software is much...
What operation are you using? Generally there is a tool orientation setting that needs to be set to fixed as opposed to base surface (don't quote me on the verbage as I'm away from the PC).
Is it worth costing yourself 1,000 bucks down the road? Skipping a version means you'll have to pay full price to upgrade...Not to mention you'll lose support on the current version. I upgrade...
easiest way is contact point (below tool image on left)

Choose the curve that's on the top then of the slot.
Also,...
Are you doing hole machining operations? On the strategy page under where it says NC code format there is a box that says Use Holes Coordinate System. That will pop up that error I'm pretty sure if...
They had it fixed right after I noticed it. For whatever reason it just popped up again. I personally would have probably sent a video on the table as well. That was extremely annoying lol. ...
Sure thing, I can do those right up. Probably tomorrow.
Yes, although I just click the little arrow icon next to Machine Visibility at the top and then under machine nodes I just click the Pan so it unchecks. I can do a video for that as well. Tormach...
Go to Tormach website. The machine definition was updated in April I think to raise it out of the table by default. I can do a video for the setup tab no problem. Another thing I do is always turn...
Would have to see an example. I never have issues with that as it's usually a setting somewhere. The only time I ever encounter them is when I'm purposely gouging the model (over drilling, thread...
Thank you all, I am trying to put one up daily, it might be every 2-3 but keep checking! I also have made a facebook page that I will upload new ones to as well for you to have delivered to your...
Another workpiece video. I'm going to try to pump out as many basic videos as I can while working out the more advanced stuff. Keep the requests coming.

Here is the latest, How to Single Form Thread Mill.

I prefer IGS or STEP. Anything will do though.
All,
Please take the time and visit my new Youtube channel where I will be putting tutorial videos out as frequently as I can. Feel free to like, comment and subscribe on them all as you see fit. ...
Mountaindew,
It seems to be seeing them all right although it's a little ireggular, I would go with the 2D contour over it any day of the week regardless. Face milling is picking up all the stock....
Give this a whirl. Crudely done, I know, but it should get you what you are looking for. I plan on ramping up the production value in the future but I want to start small and work my way up.
...
Yes they are considered workpieces. You just click the 2D geometry tab and draw circles tracing the stock (Outer and Inner circles) to essentially trace the dimensions of the tube. Now under...
Use tool library as the store is the same as use tool number from library. Zero difference.
You could also outline your stock with 2D Geometry and extrude it. It would only take a couple minutes to do.
