    Re: Ridged tapping on the Syil X7. New video.

    Of course it's Ridged, without ridges it's called reaming!

    Re: Tab Positions?

    In earlier versions you could break a line and place a point at the end of the segment on the break, you could then choose the points as tab positions
    I cant see why that shouldn't work in later...

    Re: How do I move BobCad V27 to new computer

    You can't copy, you need to Activate, that will have to involve communication with them.
  5. Does anyone have a Siemens 8xx lathe post for V2x?

    All the historic Post Processors have been deleted, I have a lead on a Lathe license for V25 but without a starting point for the Siemens Lathe Post Processor I'm not sure I have the enthusiasm to...

    Re: BobCAD CAM Releases New Support Page -

    The best support that could have been provided would have been not to delete all the old Post processors, most were shonky but provided a decent starting point, I smell a push to force earlier...

    Re: Need to make V17 and V21 run forever

    Virtualisation is probably the way to go, if I'm ever presented with a similar issue with V25 I'll be going that route.

    V2x Siemens Lathe Posts

    Hi Guys,
    Anyone have the Siemens lathe posts from the old PP library? They're all crap but I could do with a starting point to edit rather than writing from scratch.
    I should have systematically...

    Re: Program getting stuck sometimes?

    Al is spot on here, if your program runs OK a couple of times then there is noting wrong with the code, it's your controller that's causing the issue.

    Re: V32 CAM Tree Flyouts

    File Bloat issue sorted in this version?
  19. Re: Post-processor and Canned Cycles without DWELL

    No, turn on Debug mode and post sample code with the type of machining features you are interested in, Debug will tell you which line of the Post Processor generates each line of code.
  20. Re: Post-processor and Canned Cycles without DWELL

    It is an example of nothing more than that your Controller is not exactly the same, you have made no point and asked no question here.



    HAAS understand the functionality of their controller...
  21. Re: Post-processor and Canned Cycles without DWELL

    Then you will know if the controller requires the dwell parameter to be omitted or if it requires a hard coded zero in that position as you will have written the code which interprets G-Code and runs...
  22. Re: Post-processor and Canned Cycles without DWELL

    That's controller specific, refer to your controller manufacturer's documentation for a list of canned cycles and what they are/do, the required parameters, descriptions of exactly what they are/do...
  23. Re: Post-processor and Canned Cycles without DWELL

    BCC Version?
    I only ask because with 25- 29 I may be able to help, after that you'll need the PP documentation from BobCAD , if they publish any, plus that for your controller to tell you the order...

    Yes, but it did say on the handle "Not for use as a pry bar or chisel" :D

    Re: what is wrong with the code?

    It's a steep old learning curve but CAM doesn't produce G Code, CAM produces a Move List, your Post Processor is used to interpret the move list and generate G Code.

    Start by explaining what you...

    Re: cutting strategy

    You can manually edit and add in a stop command at the end of the code from the first setup.
    Alternatively post your two setups as separate programs.
  28. Re: Use version 27, upgrade, or look into other CAM?

    It's a shame you didn't have V28, I'd be interested in a license for that version.
  29. Re: Use version 27, upgrade, or look into other CAM?

    Don't beat yourself up for not doing the things which were required, everyone occasionally lets things slide.
    Just make the effort and get it installed and running.
  30. Re: Use version 27, upgrade, or look into other CAM?

    I'm still running V25, it does all all the things I need it to do.
    I've tried V30 but I can't cope with the file bloat and so having to copy all your finished geometry to a new file to get...
