![]() Mastercam you'd need X7 for solidworks 2014īut dont get me wrong, i'm all for an easy life !. Or if your not on top of it, you end up with the linuxcnc tooltable fighting against what is generated, as the solidcam database includes more information than just offsetsīut i suppose it's what you get used to, i tend to regenerate the code, as it's not always easy to keep track of the tooltables for every job. I tend to tweak my solidcam database entrys and keep them up to date, so it generates correct toolpaths, and then keep reseting the linuxcnc tooltable back to zero entrys I tend to use the tooltable just for tweaks and tool wear, but it's a major problem if your using manual tools, i can appricate. ![]() Perhaps it would have made more sense for me to say, make sure you end up using only one database for tools and not end up adding or subtracting the solidcam entrys with the linuxcnc tooltable entrys Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation. SolidCAM is the leading Integrated CAM software which runs directly inside SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor, with seamless integration and full tool path associativity to the CAD-model. The part, until you get the desired size. After roughing, you reduce the tool diameter setting, and the cut approaches You just make the tool appear larger in the tool table than it actually is,Īnd when using cutter radius compensation, this makes the cut outside the desired part I used to use it some to make roughing and then finishing passes onĬomplex shapes. When you do use them, it makes a lot of adjustment possible right in the middle of the I don't use cutter radius and lenght offsets much for the simple work I do, but There are cases where that is required, but that is usually 5-axis If anything changes, you have to regenerate Yes, what cncbasher said didn't make a lot of sense to me. Once I get rolling with it I'm sure it will all come together. I'm still a little confused since I'm not a pro in CAM. I think I got confused since we were talking about post processors and the previous poster said to have a null tool data in linuxcnc.
