Hi all.
I know this isn't a SolidWorks forum but it's the only place I found to discuss HSMX so I hope someone here can answer my question. Whenever I try to load a general turning tool, I get a error message "Unknown parameter 'tool_maximumSpindelSpeed'". Searching around a bit, I can see that there is no turning module in HSMXpress much to my dismay. So I guess this is the reason I can't select these tools? In such a case, I can't understand why they are included in HSMXpress.
In any case, is there any free CAM solution out there for turning? I'd greatly prefer for it to either integrate in SW or Inventor, but beggars can't be choosers so any suggestions would be welcome. Mainly what I'd like to do is simulate operations so I can determine the approximate time needed to machine a part based on tool cutting parameters, spindle speeds, etc....
