'Simulate with CAMotics' plugin

[pixelmaker]

I try the mac version (camotics_1.1.0_x86_64.pkg) and it works very good.
The old version don´t show the material while simulation, only at the end.
This version makes a update of the view at the end of every line.

I install the windows 32bit version camotics_1.1.0_x86.exe on a windows 7 drive without problems. Between the installation it installs a Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 package.
I install the windows 64bit version camotics_1.1.0_AMD64.exe on a windows 7 drive without problems. Also here between the installation it installs a Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 package.

Hello Ralf

Between the installation it installs a Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 package.

Yes, same for me .. I'll retry maybe a corrupted file ? (or it won't XP !)

1 minute please, XP is starting

The installation on XP works without problems. When I start camotics I get the same warning "This is not a valid win32 application"
Same with the Debug Version. It looks that this software don´t work with XP

I am running Windows XP Pro 32 that is currently registry hacked to look to Microsoft like Windows XP Embedded for POS and I am not having any issues with XP and Camotics or the plug-in.  I am not using the latest version of the Plug-In however.  Still using CB 098P.   

FYI:  Windows XP Embedded for POS is Windows XP Pro SP3 at its core.

I tried this trick, but with no luck

Added version 1.5.1 to the first post.

* mop-specified tools are allowed (same as in 1.5)
* mop-specified tool with index 0 is valid now (will issue a warning though).
handy for small jobs with a single non-library tool and no toolchanges

I have noted a small issue in the naming of the saved NC file.  Normally, and correctly, the name of the NC file created matches the name of the CamBam file.  I have a case where the name of the NC file matches the name of one of the MOP entries!  This may not be a plugin issue but rather something to do with my CamBam model, any thoughts?

I haven't been following this thread since I own a licensed copy of CutViewer  Mill.  Are there any advantages to Camotics over Cutviewer that would incent me to switch?

Hello

I also use CV, but sometimes I use Camotics because it is able to save the result as STL ; CV can't

Can you provide a test file with the issue ?

I call CAMUtils.GenerateGCodeOutput(CamBamUI.MainUI.ActiveView);
and think cambam does the same then clicking Produce Gcode.

Produce Gcode when right clicked on MOP names output like this.

[Bob La Londe]

CB will accept MOP names with characters that are not valid for file names.

Dear JK

The example Cambam file is rather large and cannot be posted, but I can attach a pdf doc showing some steps in the process.

I also note that is the NC files exists and "Cancel" is selected  on the file dialog then the plugin continues and will try to load a previously created NC file into Camotics.  Maybe this is intentional.
