Hey guys, I got a quick (should be easy, right?) question.. allright I'm running some 3 foot bar pieces and I've already figured out how to repeat my cycle 33 times and then stops program. I used...

I've got I think four hours of bobcad training time.. they keep reminding me; however, I've not yet run into something I can justify using it. I'm waiting till I get another super complex mold to...

Thanks al, but if you'll read the previous posts where that same thing was pretty much outlined the general consensus is that boolean add is the way to go. Anyway, do appreciate your help. I got the...

wow I come back after a while and you guys have practically done my project for me. lol, not to say I didn't figure it out (like that other boolean subtract problem I was having) general consensus...

So overlapping surfaces are desirable? Like the end cap you took a picture of, in my model it is capped off, but it's made of each section of surface to form the "cap" So I want those AND a whole...

So I'm back again with another Boolean Subtract problem.. I know how bobcad loves to rant and rave about how awesome the add/subtract features are... and I'll admit it is a super super duper handy...

Alright, I changed the spokes to cylinders instead of shells for lack of different terminology. Anywho, I also stitched all of the spokes to a solid, then all remaining surfaces to solid and...

...BBCD

Alright, I've got what I thought was a fairly straightforward project.. that is turning into a headache. I've attatched the file so that anyone can take a gander and offer up an idea.

What I've...

yeah, get this GOOGLE tripped out on zone earlier this morning. said this isn't a safe website (or it might be a trusted website that unwittingly has been injecting java/sql and/or others... but the...

Generally white space isn't figured into code. you could have " " many spaces or no spaces at all (which makes it terribly hard to read) and the computer still reads the code the same

I don't wanna be a downer because I do really like the boolean subtract functions but anytime your geometery isn't nice square things with uniform radii.. bobcad crashes when you attempt something...

Just curious if anyone else has ever noticed that when you actually use the REAM toolpath under drill, that it calculates feed rates based on the tool having 1 (ONE) flute. ....this is a design error...

I got everything fixed except for when taping more than one hole at a time bobcad positions over the first hole and uses a previous feed down to depth (not even a canned tap cycle even) when I get...

Alright, long story short: BoBcad never has correctly posted tapping operations.

First problem was if there was more than one hole to tap bobcad would position tool over the first hole and feed...

I've had a similar problem using copied geometry from one drawing into another- sometimes the toolpath computes, and then I'll change some simple parameter like making shallower DOC's and the...

yeah i keep getting a gui file on my desktop

I think 3.5ghz quad, 12g ddr3 ram, 2g on-board videocard...tetrabyte HD space.... I think the computer can handle it

I wouldn't call bobcad crap- you get what you pay for; however, I typically work with complex geometry and bobcad just simply can't handle advance geo. I've crashed the program so many times just...

No, if you use tool center compensation you have to offset your z equal to the radius of the ballnose. I'm not actually sure when a situation would arise that you would ever want to use tool center...

Zip'd and attached. I just had a brainstorm: perhaps the arcfit generated is too tight for my controller; i.e. can't make arc moves that small so it goes "the long way around" in order to stay within...

Generated with new build and post modifications.

Depending what type of toolpath you are using (advanced rough, z level rough, pencil, ect..) under the "Posting" well, here picture is worth a thousand words.

anyway, is that box checked? If it is...

In my haste I uploaded REV1, I switched to rev2 at bobcad's suggestion. rev2 contains the modifications you suggested. sorry for the inconvenience

Are you using ARC FIT in your toolpath?

Thar she is. Though I thought you guys had backplotted the first code and didn't see anything wrong? anyway, .nc generated with post modifications.

Thanks burrman, I changed the post (also searched for an updated post and bobcad's web only has v23 and older....) anyway, I'm too concerned to try running arcfit on my current part but probably...

pictures

edit: sorry if anyone saw that other picture that got uploaded... lol dad was screwing with me

post processor attached.

I'd also be happy to upload a picture of my (trashed) part. Give me a few and I'll put one up.


And I totally agree. I saw nothing that indicated a gouge either so I...
