Introduction

Release Date: March 15, 2018

The third update for BobCAD-CAM V30, build 2749, includes the introduction of a German version, updates in the installation package, and corrections in CAD, CAM, and Posting.

Corrections and Enhancements

General

• BobCAD-CAM V30 SP3 now offers the German language option in our software!!

• A few customers reported getting an error: "InstallScript Setup Launcher Unicode has stopped working" which would prevent installation. The release of Installshield SP2 has corrected this.
  
  

CAD

• Corrected an issue with imported .ttf fonts not being listed as an optional font in the text function list.
  

CAM

Mill

• Fixed a crash when attempting to create, then use a new thread group.
  
• Updated the Extension options in the Feature page to work with Chamfer Mill, and Corner Round features.
  
• Updated the Mill Thread feature to display an error: "Tool diameter should be smaller than thread diameter" if a thread feature is attempting to be computed whose tool is too big for the selected inside thread.
• Corrected an issue with custom feeds and speeds assigned to a tool in the library not showing up in the feature automatically.
  

Posting

• Corrected an issue with the post variable zr_no_output causing G-codes and coordinates to be output on separate lines.  
  

• Corrected an issue with the API's MILL_GetRotaryStockDiameter() and LATHE_GetStockDiameter() returning 0.
  

• Corrected an instance of the wire lead in not outputting the first position in the event the features operation started at the exact location the previous features end point.
  

• Corrected an issue with the output_primary_rotary_index and output_secondary_rotary_index post variables ignoring questions 442, 443, and 444 in the post processor when being called in block 2 of the post. This was causing the primary and secondary wrapping axis to always be output as A, and B respectively, and also caused the variable rotary_xy_f to output the incorrect axis when the wrapping operation was the first operation.
  

• Corrected an issue with the initial feed move of a mill thread feature being output as a lead-in.
