Sorry for the delay getting a new release out. I'm in Hong Kong for my real job and haven't had much time off. Hope to track down some of the bugs, which do...
... Robert it wasn't a prod for action for you, but four days without a post is unusual and I wondered if something was wrong with the link. Enjoy your free...
I got a chance today to attempt some bug fixes. You can download a new version at www.grzsoftware.com/v2dl.php . I was able to duplicate the "Double...
Hi Robert, Thanks for the new version. The double toolpaths seem to be gone, certainly they are not duplicated on the specific STL/parameters that I observed...
Hi Robert, Your plate isn't full enough with your ongoing development ;-) so I'll pass on this observation: I was working on a post for TurboCNC4 for the new...
Hello Every one I am a registered user (sort of). I am still building my 4 axis cnc router. I am interested in doing everything. Actually it began with me...
I agree. Unless you're doing the type of mechanical work that Solidworks would excel at then Rhino is the only way to go. If rendering is a big deal then you...
you might also look at vector CAD for 59.00 or whatever the current hobbyist price is; 3d nurbs and stl/dxf-3d exports, usable in meshcam. That is, if you can...
Robert, My OS is Windows XP professional 5.1 I downloaded the newest build. I am still getting the uncaught exception error when doing waterline finishing. ...
... I also just got the "Command threw an uncaught exception" error message. I'm using Win2k SP4. I had set roughing, X finishing and waterline with 45-degree...
Robert, Exactly the same problems with 98SE. And once an uncaught exception occurs it won't go away unless I restart the program. Additionally, typing a...
I have to agree with you there Mark, I bought it and could not do a thing with it, my assumption is its not compatable with novices it assumes you know...
Thanks every one. I think I am leaning toward Rhino3D. I got a chance to go through there web site and it looks pretty impressive. Robert. What kind of...
... Rendering has nothing to do with making an object solid. Rendering creates an image (renders) of your model. Rhino can create both solids and meshes,...
SolidWorks is making creation of mechanical (geometrical ) stuff easier by working as a macro. That's also it's downside, since for more organic/complex stuff...
... solids ... Ooooh. Thank you Gerry and Artur for you input. I think Rhino it is but I guess I should go through Solid Works web site just to be sure. ...
OK, I finally found both of them. The tool was not being set for waterline machining which let a NULL pointer (For the programmers in the crowd) . Look for a...
The progress bars are handled by the library, wxWidgets, automatically. Since it's meant to be cross platform I think there are more quirks like this than...
I've been ignoring the max depth problem trying to come up with a good scenario. Heres the problem: For 3-axis code the old way would work- specify the depth...
The Max Surface Angle for parallel finishing allows you to cut only the flat part of the geometry. I felt I had to add this since you can now generate a...
I just uploaded build 973 to www.grzsoftware.com/v2dl.php . Ther changes are: - Fixed waterline machining exception. - Fixed Min Angle bug in toolpath dialog. ...
Doesn't the retract height need to always be relative to stock height? Can't you treat the center of the 4th axis the same as the bottom of the stock for 3...
Maybe I should let the user pick the coordinates for the retract height- machine or stock? It would not be "parametricly" tied to the stock though- if you...
