    GibbsCam trying Machine Sim Mode

    Has anyone created a machine sim using the build machine plug in. Ive been trying to create a simple gang tool lathe however I have been having problems when trying to use multiple tools and tool changes. Also when using build machine the units are supposed to be in mm but I'm not sure whether to put everything in mm or to convert for example if I want 12 inches of travel on the Z axis should I put in 12*25.4 or just 12. I have created an MDD file for the machine as well using the MDD editor. Any help will be much appreciated. If it's possible could I get a machine sim file from someone and try to work backwards.


    Thanks.

    There are users who have the machine simulation option at the gibbscam message board. You'll get answers over there.

    Do you actually have the option or are you just trying to use the plug-in without it?
