Im usually pretty good at figuring this stuff out but a new control problem is driving me nuts. Ive loaded a SVG in to OpenBuilds cam generator and pick closed lines for cutting. I create the tool paths and get the 4 green check marks to transfer to openBuilds control. When control is open on the newest version V1.0.370 nothing is there. This is using Mill with offset inner and outer paths. Now if I choose laser vs mill it generates code. Can someone give me a clue to what to look for please. Joe in St Louis
Here is my SVG and the saved G code. Dont thing there is any code since sending to control nothing is there.
When looking at control there is a image of a box to the left bottom of my cutter. Is that normal or is my origin off??? I also get no simulation in CAM even tho says generated a code.
Sounds like you forgot to home, or didn't set Homing up correctly Not related to the CAM issue. Post the export so we can see what your parameters were. Will check it (if you do post it) tomorrow
Ill check That but I still cant Simulate after getting the 4 checks to send to control, The cutter and the path doesnt show.
No, Please post the workspace export so we can check for you: CAM > File > Export Workspace .OBC, as @Peter Van Der Walt said. Alex.
Peter i still have not figured out why, can you look at the file and see if it is something i did wrong, Ive tried drawing some random shapes and still have the problem. Some of my old saved files still work my machine. Thanks for the help sorting this out
You set Cut Depth Start to 2mm, and Final depth to 2mm. You can't start and stop at the same depth. Set start to 0 - thats more useful if you want to mill a deeper pocket inside an already made pocket for example - save some time starting at the bottom of the previous pocket.
How strange, I didnt put that in there , I will change and cut. That explains why i have the issue with new files. thanks and happy cutting Joe
