Introduction

Release Date: April 1, 2019

 

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

.BCPst

  • 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.
