OK, that surface was created from wires that you had already placed in the model.

It is a 4 sided patch using the two long horizontal lines including the big radius and then the two vertical...

Do you mean this surface?

Just joined the new forum, I hope it becomes a useful resource.

In some ways forums are old hat but I do see a need for exchange areas that have more substance than Facebook.

Thanks Al, these events are great, I was on one in early July, I would recommend them to everyone and they are free.

I use BobCAD-CAM pretty well everyday and I make money with it, I have used Hypermill in the dim and distant past but it is really expensive.

I think BobCAD-CAM gives bang for the buck and...

I use the CNC Step more or less every day for quite long periods of machining, 8 hours 3D machining of teak today for an example.

I make a well above average living off the back of the...

Scorch got back to me and confirmed a few additional G codes.

So here is the full list as I understand it.

Yes here is a sample code, not very demanding.

I dont much like asking my customers do things like that for me, they come to me for solutions not more problems.

Generally I am creating some wireframes usually with the section view...

Hello Al

Yes programming but also setting up boundaries etc, My OCD makes me want to get the model lined up like it would be on the bed of the machine.

I do heaps of programming with BobCAD...

Hello All

I get a lot of files from my customers where the model is not sitting in an ideal position to start layout work.

In the attached file I wanted the green face to be sat flat on the X,Y...

Hello Burrman

I used a PDF printer to enable the problem to be uploaded but exactly the same thing happens when printing to a windows printer either Kodak or more recently HP 7612.

Does anyone know how to format BobCAD setup sheets so as that the various boxes relating to operations are not split over page breaks?

I have attached a typical example, I guess I am quite old...

Okay, got it figured, it is machining order that I needed to look at.

I need some help on tool numbering. Basically I want Bobcad to call up the tools as per my sequence of operations not to bunch all the operations using tool number 1 as the first set of operations.

Sorry i have seen your code in another message, does not look anything wrong with it.

Copy and paste maybe 20 lines of the suspect code into a message and place in a reply.

I had V28 and V29 work with Mach 3 no problem, there is nothing inherantly wrong with Bobcad or the...

In later versions this is done with Translate, one of the boxes in Translate is for scaling, just work out your sclaing factor.

I did not start using BobCAD until V28, but I think Translate is...

Yes it is an option that you have missed, it is in the posting page which comes after you choose your machining stratergy, click the box called Arc Fit and play around with Arc Fit Tolerance, you can...

Rob

You are quite right it is very different, this version must have been a huge amount of work by Bobcad, the difference in CAD is like 'night and day', up to and including v30 there were some...

Hello Al

This looks to be a massive release/upgrade.

I am running V30 3 axis premium, would it be possible/safe for me to do the demo download for V31 and run it along side my V30, I don't want...

Some positioning tests that I ran today with the Wabeco.

I guess this is probably a good time to talk about NCCAD.

The programme is much maligned on forums, I guess you have to ask what do you want it to do with it? CAD plus CAM or just CAM, I only use...

Hello Bruno

I am in a fairly similar position, I bought a CC-F1210 with complete enclosure and stand etc, it was installed with NCCAD Professional and a nice little PC included, the machine had...

Yes I see your point.

I will try something today.

I tend to agree with Magicniner about using CAD for some real life purpose.

However I would attack that task with MOI (very similar to Rhino), I done it in about 2 minutes, circle at one end,...
