    V2 Bugs

    I have been using Bobcad V2 for a few months now (mill and lathe) pro version. I have come across a few bugs. When I create a model , create toolpaths and simulate the toolpaths everything is fine. I post my code and there are no problems. Then close the model.

    However when I reopen the SolidWorks model and add in a new toolpath into an existing setup and compute the toolpath everything gets screwed up in the other toolpaths

    1: Model with existing toolpaths opened
    2: Add in toolpath and click compute all toolpaths
    3: Click Mill Simulation – then click screen fit – this causes model to become transparent

    TO FIX SIMULATION POBLEM:
    4. Exit simulation and expand all previous toolpaths – reselect geometries and start points for each toolpath (no need to actually select the geometry as it is already selected).
    5. When done right click Milling Tools and click compute all toolpaths
    6. Click Mill Simulation – then click screen fit – PROBLEM WITH TRANSPARANCY SOLVED plus a new problem is created
    7. Now toolpath heights and depths are incorrect.

    TO FIX ITEM 7
    8. Edit all toolpaths until correct

    Are you saying that the values in the dialog boxes are being changed???

    There are a few problems. Yes the dialog boxes change and the simulation is not right - see pics

    The problem only occurs when adding a new toolpath after saving and re-opening the model.

    2 problems are

    1. simulation transparency
    2. toolpath setups change
