What's New V34

The new Deburring operation allows you to automatically create toolpath to trim complex edges or apply chamfers/fillets to the edges of your parts. For all machined parts, sharp edges must be dealt with.

The new Port Machining operation from BobCAD-CAM allows you to machine complex interior geometries with ease and precision. This is a must have for those in the industry!

The new Add Note option allows you to create your own custom tool tips for items in your CAM Tree! Tool tips can be found everywhere in software and are a great way to get a quick explanation of a functions purpose.

The new visibility options in Backplot allow you to hide the individual components of the tool! In the past you could control the transparency of the entire tool assembly, but not the individual components. In this release, you can decide which aspects of the tool are visible.

Previous versions of BobCAD would only allow you to enable a single coolant option per operation which was fine for most of our customers. Now instead of having to work with the posting department to build you custom posting dialogs in the operations, BobCAD now natively supports up to 10 coolant on and off codes to be optionally used.

The Line and Line Continuous functions now offer a check box to control whether the line snaps to the pointer location on the highlighted entity, or whether it snaps to the closest snap point on the entity. Originally these functions automatically snapped to the closest snap point but due to customer requests we updated them to snap to the pointer location instead.

mid-point snap on surface edges! In the past, only the beginning and ends of the surface edge would provide snap points. Now, with the mid-point available its easier than ever to snap geometry right where you need it.

The new Multiblade operation allows you to create toolpath on multibladed parts faster than ever before. The Multiblade operation has four patterns which are specifically designed to handle a particular aspect of the part. Roughing, Blade finishing, Hub finishing, and Fillet finishing.

With the new Look and Feel options for the CAM Tree in the Settings menu, you can switch to the new Extended style CAM Tree to save a ton of right-clicks and provide a little visual organization! Now use Blank/Unblank and Post Yes/No with a simple click.

New to BobCAD-CAM V34 is the ability to extract isocurves from surfaces automatically. Now you can get wireframe geometry curves right from the information stored within the surface data!
