Morning Al,
I have learned an immense amount from your 'Afterdark' vids - they sold us on the product years ago. The biggest time waster we have isd the transition from rough to finish - I (we)...
Well That was cool....
1) Bobcad called and said they were working on an email announcements, and 4 hours later I got it!
2) They also spent 30 minutes discussing the WEDM changes that would help....
Al, the changes look really good! I like the chip breaker for the lathe, as well as corner slow down. I have two grips I'd like to share:
1) Be really nice of Bobcad to send us a notice (as a...
Late to the party here, buty we have been using BobCad for 4 years now, and found it very satisfactory. Following metrics:
Support has been excellent
BobCad After Dark is a life savor
CAD portion...
Agree with burrman - bobcad afterdark is a great place to get familiar with he package. We use Solidworks, which imports flawlessly into BC. Agree with oiiothers - the CAD portion of BC is really...
Thanks Al - nice video, and I learned a little more.
Hmmmm - that sounds interesting. I am not sure I can do that, as the part will require different punches to form. Will try that this week.
Thanks - I will try that and post results
Clicked on this and got routed to a porn website - caution!
Well, thanks - what happened is the Intersection Curves was not on the ribbon at all! Why I do not know, but I added it all all works as it should. I was tearing my hair out looking for it on the...
Yes, but I remember that I used to get a wire frame from it. What we do is take the wire frame, and extrude it another .5" so the 4th axis runs all the way to the end of the part. I used to do...
I used to use this all the time, but after an hour in the documentation, I am unable to find it in the 'Modify Group' of 'Create 3D'. Where did I go for my stupid pill????
We design tooling, which we base off of a solid model. We then make punches and dies from that madel. In order to maintain consistency, we use the same master model for each component, removing...
Why Thank you! Not many people would have wasted the electrons to compliment this post.
These folks have been great to work with and very prompt in response to issues. I wish I got support that good for my 'other' software.
Hats off tot he whole team!
Only started playing with this, and it is FANTASTIC. Really nice features and ways of getting stuff done faster. LOve the ability to add things to the bar. That is going to save a l;ot of time...
Warning on Autosave - if you like to putz around, and lose track of time, you could autosave the junk that didn't work.
How do I know? You get 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count:eek:
Al DePalo on Bobcad After Dark has a bucnh - you will have to watch them for the one that helps the most.
Not a bad idea. Solidworks is what really drives me nuts, as I use the solidworks drawing as a master for the tool design. On some materials I have to re-draw to allow for material changes, but...
Drives me nuts also. In automotive, the part is oriented with the car center, which is feet away and in a goofy place. The only solution I have found is asking my customer to orient in a specific...
OK - after an hour of messing around, I am turing to you foks for help. Here is what we are trying to do:
'Machine a slot in 2 steps in a 2" block 1.25 deep.
I want the path to exit the part by...
You can reach me at 708/205-4875 (cell). In chicago area (O'Hare area)
Found this in my box - still in plastic. Pinch roller for pre-2000 sodick WEDM. $100, will ship USPS - PM for details/questions
Well DUH - was looking for another pull down or drop down. Obviously didn't look hard. Thanks Burrman!
WOW - I am just starting to get a gripe on what 31 can do, and it is looking awesome. Nifty stuff all over the place, and it is really well thought out. It is also a lot more stable so far. And...
OK - dumb question - I am unable to find the version/release number in V31. So far so good, but want to roll out after updates.
ISO 9 is a view in the view choices - top, bottom, left, etc. Thanks for your interest Al, but this is a little issue and frankly not at all important in the big picture. The big picture is 31...
It's just a quick orientation - when I get into the weeds on a drawing and need to figure out where I am, I start at ISO 9 - just reorient the model and display all. I can certainly live with what...
Al, thanks for the response. You are correct - if you order the tab last, it does take the tab out..... However, you cannot make skim passes on that tab. Any skims done after the tab cut skim the...
Like the new interface, but it will take some effort to understand and find stuff. Hats off to BC folks for making the effort.
Loads a LOT faster.
As always, a little 'miss something' and...
