Are they in the correct folder? See what bobcad is set to.
Call Bobcad, they will point you to videos of features or explain them to you. Much better than I can. I'm just getting started in 3D.
Nobody at Bobcad knows anything about V21 anymore, they will register it IF you also have the newest version. At least in my experience. ( I have the advantage plan) Starting to really like the new...
That's what I did, BobCad made a mess of it. I just edited the program and pasted in G-code I got from the tool maker. I have yet to get a program from BobCad that runs without edits to it.
...
I learned from BOBcad that you cannot do a setup change in LATHE. They never allowed it in the code. Told me I need to make a new part in a new drawing and start part two there.
I am still working on getting more of Bobcad to work with canned cycles. I find them very easy to modify, If I want to change depth of cut I need to edit one single number field, not hundreds of...
True for blind holes, when drilling thru it does not matter. My post modifications still allow for dwell. The Siemens drilling canned cycle allows for a dwell at the bottom of the hole and at the...
I like to use canned cycles, right now all my turning code is separate lines. I do not have BobCad working with canned cycles yet, I will. I can edit a canned cycle right at the machine very...
Correct, almost none of the common G-code cycles work with my Siemens control. It's very different than my Fanuc.
This is for a lathe, 2 axis
Bob-Cad will only let you select canned cycle or separate lines once per drill operation. I did not like the spot drill to post a canned cycle. I edited my Siemens...
I think I might have made something that works. 1. use all solid lines 2. draw full insert in place on toolholder 3. first pick "insert - custom shape" then select the outline of your insert in...
I got this bar for a job with a recess inside the bore, works great for this. Most of the time I do use a CNMG or WNMG bar.
I think this should be referred to as section 16. Blocks are all in the 2000 series for doing calculations.
BobCad fixed my post for me.
It would appear the tutorials on youtube for custom tools are for an earlier version. I did manage to create a tool holder but bobcad puts the insert along side of it and in the wrong orientation. ...
Been a long time since I looked at these setting. I am set to 0 field width. Per BobCad's help :
Leading Zeroes: When this option is checked BobCAD-CAM will create enough zeroes on the left hand...
I have never had anything like this happen to me. Been using V21 for several years, now trying to get the hang of V32.
redfoot,
The .cfg files are not what you want. Look in the scripts folder and the files you want end in .bas Each operation like drilling, tapping has its own file, most are named after the G...
My lathe post (Siemens 840C) does not have a block 16. However in my Mill (Fanuc OMC) post I edited block 16 to read:
16. Machine Setup Change
n,"M9"
n,"G0Y4.0Z5.0"
n,"M5"
n,"( TURN PART...
I get 17,000 lines of G-code to cut that. Ridiculous for one threaded hole. Arcs or lines does not matter, V32.
How do I watch a reply of this?
I'm still struggling along trying to learn V32 Started working with turning programs. I made a whole bunch of edits so far, but I have a problem with the output for arcs. My control needs "X"...
V21 you just need notepad or any text editor. V22 to V32 I don't know. On V32 I am using notepad again.
I'm trying to get a PP working for a Hitrol 840C Lathe. Still need help? What I have sort of works.
which book is that? Title, publication number? Is it a Hyundai or a Siemens book? Mine books do not have this error in them.
Fixed, at least for now. Pressed a reset button on the keyboard circuit board under the monitor. Now we see it it happens again.
I'm getting better. Just started to edit my tool crib, seems they totally forgot about number drills. Added in a bunch of boring bars to lathe tooling. I've probably make at least a hundred mods to...
I just got this error too. It is not listed in my book. What manual are you looking in that lists it and shows a trouble tree? I need to get that book.
SBC Cycle. So far V32 is really good at breaking tools, there is only one feed/speed per tool. So if you are full width slotting or partial profiling it uses the same feed/speed. ( think pocketing)...
I've been using V21 up until now. Started with V32 a few months ago. I've done a few simple parts with V32 but it seems I keep getting stuck on simple things, reverting back to 21 so I can get the...
