DO NOT bring your part in as an .STL
You open your.bbcd file which has your part drawing in it (not.stl)
To set up your Milling Stock (not your part) R Click on milling stock/stock wizard/check .STL/next browse to where you have the file and select it


On edit,you open your solidworks file,not .bbcd,,,,sorry forgot which software you using,,,but I believe you get the idea ?

I am using a V26 TRIAL version on my laptop. I do not have SolidWorks on my laptop.

Tomorrow, I will be at the shop where I have SolidWorks and BobCAD-CAM for SolidWorks V2.

Using the V26 Trial version, I managed to get the stock in via .stl. I finally tried using the .stp to bring in the part (V 26), and that seemed to work. But, when I started the milling wizard the software did not seem to 'recognize' the model geometry or boundary. After screwing around with the model and the wizard, I finally got the software to pick up some of the geometry (not all, just some - it would not select the WHOLE part), but it never seemed to 'select' a boundary. I got the software to mill a small portion of the part, but not much.

I will try tomorrow at the shop using my V2 (SW). I will post my progress tomorrow evening.

Thanks for your patience.
