I also notice that the software if using coreless A) can't use compensation and B) cuts bigger then the finish passes with zero ways to change it. Has anyone found any workarounds for this software?...

Anyone have a problem with this posting out arc errors? I get it 1 out of 3 programs and coding them by hand is getting old. It mostly happens when running the coreless feature and not a lot of...

Thanks wolfman. Bobcad did get me a post for a 2400S so hopefully that works.

Hi All,

Does anyone know what post processor works good with a mits MV1200S (MD pro III)?

Is it possible to reverse the Z designation? In other words I want to post the Z's in (+) instead of (-). It can be time consuming deleting all the (-) signs and is easy enough to miss one. I looked...

I think jrmach may be right.... I think it may depend on what you are doing in it. I don't use the CAD side for anything so I am only referring to the CAM side. I use SolidWorks for my modeling.

Thanks Engine Guy. You seem to be seeing what I am. I went from 25 to 27 and it just seems way more crash prone and slower.... There are a couple more features but can be frustrating....

FYI they...

Is anyone that is on V27 having lots of freezing and lockup problems? We get lockup if we go back into a feature a couple times in a row, go into simulation and back out it freezes, If two programs...

I really don't think it is on SW side. I could not imagine them doing that. (If so I think there would be tons of *****ing going on in the forums) I would try and clear all your cookies and try again.

Zoeper, I agree with BurrMan this thread started out as a theft thread and you seem to now be condoning that cause you feel something that was given free to people who purchased the software were...

zoeper,

Using your car analogy does GM (or porsche) still service or make parts for a 1970's vehicle? (how long does a warranty last on a car?)

Training that was promised sounds like was from...

Thanks BurrMan,

At a glance it looks like it did avoid the hole in this example. I will have to see what I have going on, it looks like I set everything the same but don't get the avoidance....

Yes, If I get the SW file that is always easy. The problem with some are they are igs and not so easy to deal with. The one I started the thread over was an igs and the worst part is my customer had...

I am confused by this......mostly fixating on the G10 line part.

They want you to be able to post their workshift info with a G10 line? Is this info set in stone and have they gave it to you?

Thanks Bobcad guy, Tried this didn't seem to work but sure it is something I am doing. Are other software freed up so took care of it there but would still like to figure it out.



The part I...

Untrim only works if the top of the part is flat, or at least some part of it. If you have a contoured surface with holes in it this doesn't work. And same with ignore holes in the feature. Even if...

How do you guys Ignore Holes with BobCad? I am using equidistant offset and the ignore holes feature doesn't work, guessing because it is a model it don't see the holes as holes, so how do you stop...

Thanks mmoe,

The arc-fit mode is the problem then. We were using the Equidistant offset and I could not get it to post in G18/G19 for the life of me. The program was to big for the machine,...

What could be wrong if not getting true arc output? (g18,g19)

Thanks Tony, Although I am trying to make the list shorter.....lol

A Friend is my local gibbs reseller so I am getting a full blown license of that to try very soon. Have not used gibbs in over 10...

I currently purchased new cam software a few weeks ago but it doesn't fit my needs so I need to look into something new.

Any one have any good advice? I don't want to test drive multiple software...

I will not sit and argue this with you all any longer, I did get what I need to know from Al. (Thanks Al).

And one thing I think is definitely not lacking and has no limitations is BobCad's...

Ok, that may be the case but why can't this be said then? That is exactly what I am trying to get at. Why did they sell it to me knowing what I needed/wanted? Why can't this be out there for others...

Thanks guys. I really do appreciate the time taken on this. I have done the above but all took more then one feature to accomplish or I felt were ineffitionte. which I guess I am calling a workaround...

Here is a model.... How would you handle it?

So are you insinuating my frustration is I don't know how to program and rely on software?

Yes I can sketch up a quick model similar to what I am talking about for the block with boss's but that is just one example. And it is no problem to get what I want it just takes a bit more work but...

And what suspicions is that?

Oh for god sake..............



Thanks RAF,

And I am not saying it is not of value either for it's price. I am just wondering if it is right for my shop. And I know where your coming from...

You said yourself you have no cam experience out side of BobCad so I just don't think you may understand I guess..... Look at pocketing and its options it is pretty easy to see what you have and...
