    Re: Bobcad Not Supported

    I think the support issue he and others are talking about is if you have to transfer the software due to a hard drive failure or other PC issue and since we have no key and have to call BC to...

    Re: BobCAD is stoopid!

    I was also told mine for life with no maintenance fees. Unsupported and can't reload? I guess I need to call and ask for some permanent reloadable what ever for it then. Or call an attorney.

    The problem ends up being, lines that may look connected that are not. So extend 2 entities can be a fix as well as correcting for double lines, and reorganizing. I don't have the software open so...

    Re: Just a question about macro

    Many years ago I worked at a place that I think did it, I never paid too much attention to it then, we entered work offset info in the macro instead of the work offset page.

    Re: Just a question about macro

    I've already got that I calculate against the set work offset. By dynamic I mean as the 4th axis is turning constantly updating the offset. I guess G54.2 does it so I'll dabble with that some time. ...

    Re: BobCad V29 will not post

    So what is it showing in the cam tree? You will have to do the edit thing and select the folder where your post processor is located.
  14. Am I the only one that is not a Haas fan?

    I really am not a fan of the control, especially the offsets pages, and all the stupid buttons, no quick and fast feed rate knobs, yeah I know about the MPG deal its just funky.

    So why is Bob Cad pushing this solid works deal? Maybe pushing is too harsh. I sure hope they don't stop their normal CAD CAM system. I can not warrant having any software that I have to pay a big...
