Editing A Tap File

 

Different size and type taps may be added to Tap folder for selection within the

BobCAD-CAM Version 22 software. They are simple text (.txt) files which may be

edited using NotePad, NotePad++ or the Predator CNC Editor. The files reside in the

following location:

 

C:\Program Files\BobCAD-CAM\BobCAD-CAM V22\MillingTechnology\Taps

 

 

With the BobCAD-CAM Version 22 software closed; navigate to, and open the taps

folder. Delete the MillingTaps.Taps file. It will automatically be regenerated upon

software launch. Open the desired text file (.txt) for the corresponding style of tap.

 

NOTEMake a copy of the file for the event of making any errors  while editing.

 

The example below will reflect the addition or editing of taps to the UNC file in the Inch

folder.

 

 

 

The first line may ONLY contain the percent symbols. The second line will reflect the

total number of taps within the file. This value will be Index Number of the last

sequentially listed tap.

 

 

Please follow the format EXACTLY and list taps according to Nominal Diameter

ease of selection. After the changes have been made, Save the file. Once

the BobCAD-CAM Version 22 software. The program will automatically regenerate

new MillingTaps.Taps file for the software operation.
