'Simulate with CAMotics' plugin

[EddyCurrent]

Version 1.5.4 attached

1. The extra menu item for simulating a part has gone.
2. the logic has been changed slightly

if one Part (one part only) has been selected then Camotics will use the stock and Tool defined in that Part.
If the selected Part does not have a stock defined then it will use the stock defined at Machining level.

If no single Part has been selected then all of the file will be simulated.

Any items that are 'disabled' will not be included in the simulation.

Once some feedback arrives and it is deemed okay I will attach the source files here.

Works with CamBam v1.0 only

This version replaced by 1.5.5, see later in this thread.

I have tested it - it takes the stock from the part labeled as "Active" no matter if it is greyed out or not. Thank you a lot for this update, my life is a bit easier again:)

Ok, it did work for a while and now it seems not to work again. Can you please check the attached file?

What I did is I copied one MOP from another part with different stock. And it seems to rememer it somehow.

Edit: Now I see, I need to have the part selected by the cursor, I had selected one of the MOPs inside the Part. If the cursor is on the part, it selects the correct stock size. "Active" part has no influence on this (I had it under cursor before, that is what confused me a bit).

Thanks Eddy and everybody else who helped with this.  The only days in the shop I do not use this are the days when I just clean and organize.  Its saved me so much time and so many parts I can't imagine working without it.
