Hello Junior1505,
You need to have "Advanced" select to see all the machining tabs available, then you need to go into LINKS and select "From First Pass" under the "Order Passes" header.

Hello ali68mohammad,
This type of toolpath is not currently supported in SolidCAM.
Thank you,

Hi core units,
I only have 2017 and 2018 on my system. My suggestion is that if you would like to test SolidCAM. Simply call support and they will get you hooked up with a 30 day full posting...
Hi RonaldVukoje,
Are you looking for a specific switch in the post, or are you looking to modify or create a new post?
Thank you,

Hi SteriosCNC,
Just checking but do you have a "Fixture and a Setup" defined first?
Thank you,

Hi mrothbergdesign,
You will need to resend the assembly but this time do a "Pack N Go" from the SolidWorks file menu. I need the parts to see what's in the assembly.
Thank you,

Hi ali789,
Don't quote me on this but I believe machine builders can assign them, sometimes even during setup of the machine. I would think they have a specific one they like to use but it could...
Hi mrothbergdesign,
I'll check into it.

Hello scottbryce,
I highly recommend you call your local support. One possibly bad cam project will not break or mess with any other cam projects. So you don't have to worry about your other...
According to text support, and without seeing the post, they believe that your VMID file, one of the post files, is not setup correctly. Please contact your local reseller or from whom you received...
I don't know why, that was why I was asking what version. I wanted to know if it was an older version. Since it is 2017, I will have to look into it.

Hi cryptopsy,
Sounds like the post has been hard coded. I would check with the person you gave you the post.

What version are you using?

Hi cryptopsy,
It was design that turning only allows 1 coordinate system. However, the simple thing to do is have your post set as a MillTurn post and then you will be allowed to add as many...
Hi CrazyJane,
Can you post the offending code? Please include several lines of code before and after the problem area.
Thank you,

To avoid different issues using a post that isn't designed for your machine, I would highly suggest reaching out to you local SolidCAM reseller. Most of the time they have posts that they can give...
cryptopsy,
RCaffin is correct, you can draw the path in pretty simply if you really want a spiral like path without so many lines.

Hi cryptopsy,
Yes, these can be eliminated. Please contact your local post support.

I am assuming that visi did an arc fit during the creation of the spiral. Which means it is not really a spiral but a series of larger/smaller arcs that are connected. I don't see a way to create a...
Hi cryptopsy,
Unfortunately, there is no gcode command for a spiral. To be a true spiral, the arc (G2/G3) would not work because the spiral is actually a spline that is continuing to change as it...
Hi ali789,
Did you check the folder that your post is in and the folder itself to make sure they are not "Read Only"? Do you have admin rights to the computer? Are the post files on your local...
Hi Racecar,
You are correct, under the 5 Axis option there exists the 4 Axis simultaneous option as well. There are a lot of different ways to cut said part. As far as the toolpath going through...
Hi DarkStarMedia,
Profile is the correct operation, however you are forgetting to deselect the chain radio buttons to the left BEFORE selecting your two ends. Remember the arrow shows the...
Hi Azalin,
Yes, when it comes to programming in SolidCAM the VMID (Virtual Machine ID) is crucial for programming to work properly. If you have a local reseller, I suggest reaching out to them. ...
Hi T D,
In the VMID there is an option called “Optimize Operation Loops”. This is what you are looking for and what will resolve your dilemma.
