WHAT’S NEW IN BOBCAD-CAM V32 SP4
The fourth and final update is ready for download. Updates and enhancements were made in the following areas:
• General
• CAD
• CAM
• Mill
• Lathe
• Mill Turn
• Simulation
• Posting
General
• Corrected an issue which caused the Solids and Dimension/Text check box to be affected when the Toolpath Colors check box was cleared in the Document Default page of the Settings dialog.
• Corrected an instance of a STEP file causing a crash when opened.
CAD
• Corrected an issue which caused duplicate geometry to be created when a DXF was opened and resaved as a DXF.
• Corrected an issue which caused a crash when particular geometry was used for a Spun Profile feature.
• Corrected an issue which caused all geometry to be imported to the same layer when importing a particular DWG file.
• Corrected an issue which prevented Hole Patterns and Point Patterns from being utilized for the 3D extrude functions.
• Corrected an issue which prevented the focus from being on the Selected Geometry list box when reopening the Mirror function when the mirror about line option was the previously used option.
• Corrected an issue which caused text to be deleted when the text was created, modified with Entity Modify, and then undone with Undo command.
Mill Express
• Corrected a rounding issue with the radius of the default ball endmill #128 which created an invalid tool and prevented it from being simulated.
• Corrected an issue which caused the fast peck to retract to the feed plane height when it was used for the plunge entry method in a profile operation.
• Corrected an issue which prevented hole features from being used in a Mill Job when the Czech version of BobCAD-CAM was installed.
• Corrected an issue which caused the Spindle RPM to revert to zero when the tool was set to manual feeds and speeds in the Tool Library.
• Corrected an issue which caused toolpath statistics to output incorrect Toolpath Extents.
• Corrected an issue which prevented hole groups from being broken properly.
• Corrected an issue which prevented toolpath from being calculated when an Optimized machining sequence was used.
Mill 3 Axis Pro
• Corrected an issue that caused the Pick Top list box in the Feature Geometry Picking dialog to be inaccessible after going into the Advanced Allowances dialog of the Advanced Rough operation.
Mill 4 Axis Pro
• Corrected an issue that caused an incorrect Top of Feature value in a multiaxis setup sheet.
Lathe
• Corrected an issue with the trimming function tolerance in toolpath calculation which could cause toolpath errors when using custom tool geometry.
• Corrected an issue which prevented groove ID toolpath from being generated with custom tool geometry.
• Corrected an issue which caused the Lathe Holder Shank Thickness to revert to the default of one inch.
• Corrected an issue which caused feature geometry to be forgotten from the Selected Geometry list of the Geometry Picking dialog when geometry was reselected.
• Corrected an issue which caused errors when calculating revolved stock for a lathe job created from a template.
• Corrected an issue which prevented the drill label from updating when the feature thread type was updated.
Mill Turn
• Corrected an issue which caused the Lathe Threading tool to revert to the default tool in Lathe Threading operations.
Simulation
• Corrected an issue which caused a crash when the ribbon tabs were minimized, and the Simulation tab was selected.
Posting
• Added the MILLTURN_GetToolMountingOrientation() API which will return the 1-8 value selected in the Mill Turn Tool crib for the mounting orientation
• Corrected an issue which caused an incorrect tool offset register number to be output in a Mill Turn job when two tools were mounted to the same station with different mounting points.
• Corrected an issue which caused an erroneous initial feedrate when the post is set to incremental mode.
• Corrected an issue which caused an incorrect degrees per minute to be output when using a wrapping group in a Mill Turn job.
