Cool. I have to have a support subscription to download this, correct?
On the left is V28 on the right is 26. Adaptive rough, same geometry, same parameters. Bug?

So, because of my DNC problems I was trying NCFadal for sending programs to the machine instead of Predator. I switched back to Predator and finished this part with no more issues. The problem...
Would someone mind posting this code and running through back plot? My level of Predator must not have that or something because I'm not seeing it. Anyway, the toolpath looks fine, simulation looks...
I am running a Fadal VMC 3016 with CNC 88 control. I drip feed all my programs since I don't have much memory in the controller. For the last few days I have had an error message popping up while...
If you don't mind my asking, why are you bouncing between versions?
Thank you for taking your time to pursue this to that level, JR. I hope they will dig into it and get this sorted for us.
I am actually cutting hardened D2. Advice I got on the PM forum indicated .012" to .015" radial depth of cut for this hard stuff so that's what I was shooting for and have just been trying different...
Here's an issue I have from time to time. This adaptive rough toolpath seems to be picking it's own stepover. I have it set for 1% (should be .005" with a 1/2" end mill) but when I run the part it is...
That many holes is just a big job any way you slice it. If only making one part probably save time on the programming end and just let Bob pick the order. If making several then it might be worth the...
If you don't like the machining order the software creates you can create a point pattern from your holes and use this as your geometry. The point pattern locks in the order in which you select the...
My company just bought me V27 last week and now 28 is out. Anybody have experience with how they usually handle this kind of situation? The install disc for 27 hasn't even arrived yet, lol.
How much of the 2500 is the 1/2 day training? I think the 3 day class is $750? From your post it sounds like you have no cad/cam experience, maybe some more extensive training would be good.
Great idea, RAF. I'm going to do that.
Just make sure it's center cutting.
Great tips. I've had a lot of trouble with opening multiple files but actually it was working yesterday so I'll use that in the future. For multiple views to print you can also put a few copies of...
Wow, I guess I never noticed that menu before. Thanks BurrMan.
The tip of the day dialogue said I could have multiple views of the same part open simultaneously but when I try to open a second instance of the same part, nothing happens. Has anybody used this...
If I understand your question correctly, use the same technique as before. This time, define the outside edge of your stock with the dotted line and use adaptive rough to clean it away. Just define...
I am getting an error when I try to open your file but are you trying to cut a pocket with draft angle, i.e. tapered walls? Bobcad can certainly do that. Is there any 3D geometry in your part? In the...
I would machine the bosses using a pocket strategy. Make the outside edge a dotted line and keep the boss edges solid. Select the outside edge and bosses for your geometry. I would use Advanced...
Guess I should have said that I have not noticed this before.
It's always behaved as expected before. I guess something about this part geometry is throwing it off, though it seems pretty straightforward to me. No big deal to run in the other way, I guess. I...
Selecting conventional produces a climb cut. Guess it's backwards.
I am running this part now and the way it is cutting is going to work out fine but I want to figure this out for the future. I have climb mill selected in the cut direction section but it keeps...
In the Translate dialogue box, select "Sketch/Enter." Select your solid > right click > ok. Then hold Shift and left click on your solid. You will see clickable points appear. Click the one you want...
I use Bobcad's generic 3 axis mill post for running on my Fadal. It works fine for everything except tapping so I would always just edit the code by hand if I needed to tap. This morning I decided to...
