WHAT'S NEW IN BOBCAD-CAM V31 SP3 (BUILD 3130)

The third update for BobCAD-CAM V31, build 3130, includes corrections in CAM, and Posting.
Corrections


CAM

General

- Corrected an issue which caused the text on some buttons to be cut off in the contextual
CAM ribbon for localized versions of the software.

- Removed the Keep Boundary Geometry button from the Machine Setup dialog to avoid a
crash which resulted from using it, and then using the Undo function to remove the newly
created geometry.

Laser, Plasma, Waterjet

- Corrected an issue which caused the cutter diameter to revert to default if not added
directly to the tool crib.

Mill

- Corrected an issue which prevented the selection of an STL Mesh for gouge checking in 3
axis features.

- Corrected an issue which caused a crash when clicking OK to confirm geometry selection
in the Operation Geometry Selection dialog.

- Corrected an issue with the Drill Top of Feature failing to be calculated based on the top
of stock.

- Updated the tolerance used for the Update All Geometries option to correct an instance
of it removing tabs from the feature.

- Updated the Cut Pattern options in the Patterns page of the Flatlands operation. The
dialog was showing additional options of the Advanced Rough operation. The correct
options: Offset, Parallel, and Adaptive Roughing are now shown properly.

- Updated the Links page to reflect all available options when the Advanced Pocket Pattern
was used in a Pocket Operation. Link options now show S-Link, and Full Retract. Between
Groups options now show Retract.

Posting

- Corrected an issue with nested scripting blocks which caused repeat output.

- Corrected a modality problem when scaling for an axis was used in the canned cycle
output in Mill Turn posting. This caused some instances of the peck increment to have
their own line with no coordinates.

- Corrected an issue which prevented the output feed to be adjusted when altered in the
Advanced Feedrates page.

Al,
Has a "Merge Down" option been added to allow a project which you're happy with to have all the bloat of the full history of changes removed without having to copy and paste geometry to a new file?
TIA,
Nick

Not at this time, but I hear that is something they are working on.

Correct me if I am wrong but do I have to pay for this? just started using V31 bought it a while back and it crashes every 5 minutes, if v31 was unstable when I bought it why should I have to pay to have it fixed or am I missing something my build is 3110.

bug fixes are rolled into updates , so anyone who isn't on a support plan is pretty much sol . If it is a problem and it's legit then support is usually pretty good at helping . I honestly can't be bothered with it and I've given up on the last 2 versions and will stick with v28 which works for me

I don't have a suport plan and they have just sent me the update.
