The second update for BobCAD-CAM V30, build 2638, includes fixes in CAD, CAM, and Simulation.

Corrected an issue with custom machining orders reverting to default order when saving and reopening.

BobCAD-CAM now supports SolidWorks 2018 file reading.
Corrected issues with some font variations not appearing in the text font list.
Corrected a crash when attempting to edit fillets created in previous versions using the CAD Tree.
Corrected a crash when opening the Fillet / Chamfer function an immediately clicking OK.

Corrected an instance of a particular file causing a crash when opened.
Removed the Pick Depth button for Chamfer Mill operation inside of Hole making features due to the groups and having multiple Top of Features.
Corrected an issue with the Chamfer Mill inside a Drill feature ignoring the top of part.
Corrected an issue with custom machining orders reverting to default order when saving and reopening.
Corrected an instance of external corners being applied to the inside of the chain due to misreading chain direction.
Corrected an issue with indexed features failing to output/cancel machine compensation when the leads first/last movement is in line with the Z direction of the machine setup.
Correct an issue with the V-Carve operations failing to output a plunge feed.
Corrected an issue with blind tapping posting incorrect depth.
Corrected an issue with the Cutting Condition Parameter Add to Drill Depth for Blind Tap not outputting.
Corrected an instance of a edge selection causing a blind hole setting to switch to a through hole setting when reselecting geometry.
Corrected an instance of one tab failing to create when selecting three automatic tabs on a circle.
Corrected the Corner Round tool to use the speeds and feeds assigned to it during the creation of the tool.

Corrected an issue when selecting custom insert geometry for a lathe tool. When switching from system tool to custom tool, and then selecting geometry, the option would switch back to system tool again, forcing you to switch the option once more.
Corrected an instance of incorrect toolpath when using system compensation without collision detection.
Corrected an instance of a custom groove tool creating a gouge.
Removed the Machine Compensation options for Cut Off cycle to eliminate confusions on whether the user is attempting to compensate the tool width or the corner radius.
Corrected an issue when selecting custom insert geometry for a lathe tool. When switching from system tool to custom tool, and then selecting geometry, the option would switch back to system tool again, forcing you to switch the option once more.
Corrected a crash when clicking Cancel when in the custom insert geometry dialog without picking any geometry.

Corrected a particular instance of a crash when a turret was assigned over 18 stations.
Corrected an instance of a saved lathe feature retaining original stock information.

Corrected a posting issue when a tab was created on a spline resulting in a very large radius arc.
