    Re: BobCAM V5 Release

    Are there any updates to the turning?
  3. Re: Anyone here have a BCVer25 PP that outputs functional g76 code for Mach3?

    Not been able to successfully get G76 or G96 working from BobCAM V4. I believe G96 does not work in Mach 3. Not sure about G76 but if you want I can send you my edited lathe post processor to try?

    I wont be purchasing SolidWorks 2015 or any new Office software or MS Operating systems beyond Win 10 as they are/will all (be) subscription based. The cloud drew the line for me.

    Normally using solidworks the fusion CAD is pretty much the same. One thing I don't like is not being able to rotate the part using the scroll wheel button. Need to spend a bit more time on the CAM...

  10. Re: BobCAD v28 Next Build release date to fix crashes ?

    I must get more RAM for the PC and see if that cures it. Both computers have the same software build and OS and settings. Only diff is 8GB
