Bobcad v23 Edm help

RforEDM · Jan 19, 2015

V23 doesn't seem to want to post radius' (no i or j's) it just outputs straight cuts. Its the same post I've always used and until now I've never had the problem.I also only have one machine under the machine selection and no cutting database. I've checked the file locations multiple times to no avail. Any help would be very appreciated.

Can you email me the file to look at. Is the target geometry made up of arcs? What kind of toolpath are you using. Have you tested a different part, based on what you are saying is sounds like the target geometry isn't made up of arcs.

Ill try and email you a file. (have to bare with me i new to the whole file sending thing on forums)

Its a relatively simple form of three straight fingers positioned 120 degrees around a fixed Id and at the end of the fingers is a radius.

2-axis outside toolpath

same thing on other parts i've tried it on a few different parts along the same lines of this one.

I have your file now... It's not a spline issue, you have true arcs in your files. I am having the same results are you, the ares are being interpolated as line segments... Not sure what is causing it yet, I have to keep looking. I am thinking it's a "machine " setting or some setting in the post processors that is making this happen...

Ok this is not easy to explain....

What is going on is your "machine" has your max arc set to 0. So you need to use the edmmachinssetup.exe to edit the machine settings to allow the post to post arcs.

You need to do this with BobCAD closed.

That should solve the issue.

You should find this exe in : C:\Program Files (x86)\BobCAD-CAM\BobCAD-CAM V23

I ran edmmachinssetup.exe but it doesn't seem to have fixed it now it wont post at all.
I changed the max arc radius to 4.0 just to see it that worked to no avail.

Could i have done something wrong?
the first few times i tried installing it said it didn't install correctly

I still only see one machine in the machine selection as well and its not the one that i need to use.
Should i try one of my other post to see if they post?

I had the same issue, at first when working on your file. Where I could only pick 1 machine. After I shut down the software, and ran and updated the edmsetup.exe and opened the file back up was I able to get things going.

RforEDM · Jan 19, 2015

It worked!!!

All i needed to do was a full restart of the computer now its posts perfectly.

Thank you immensely
