Fit Text to A Curve
This document will explain how the “Fit Text to a Curve” function works inside of BobCAD
Understanding Cutting Extents
This document describes the differences between the cutting extents for the 3 axis pro toolpaths. The Cutting Extents options change where the boundary is created to determine how the toolpath is calculated on the model (where the tool cuts at the boundary).
Lathe Reverse Sign of X values in G-Code
The document will show a step-by-step of how to step up a tool to reverse the X sign in the G-Code. This will be necessary if your machine uses negative X values to move towards the center of rotation. You will change the G-Code by checking off the box that says “Reverse Sign” in the tool library.
Create Surfaces to Fill In Gaps on Model
This document will walk you-through how to create surfaces and how to stitch surfaces together to create one solid model. This will allow you to use the model with other Create 3D functions to modify the model further.
Performing an Undercut in Mill 2 Axis When Using a T-Cutter
This article will show how to create an undercut toolpath using a T-Cutter and the 2x Profile Feature.
