Okay, this version is more civilised. v1.5.3
PLEASE NOTE: This information applies to the option; "Simulate with CAMotics (PART)" only.
1. It automatically uses the correct character "-" or "." by looking to see if "outfile" has been populated.
so the outfile box can be empty or populated whichever method you prefer.
2. It now uses the SELECTED PART rather than the 'active part'
just select ONE part from the Treeview before running the plugin, it need not be the 'active part'
There are so many ways in CamBam to do the same thing it makes life a little difficult sometimes, so try the plugin yourself and let me know if it is not doing something you expect.
Suffice to say that whichever work flow you use, a gcode file must exist before CAMotics can simulate.
Instructions for use.
if cb2cm.config has, <regen_gfile_before_post>false</regen_gfile_before_post>
do this exactly,
1. start cambam, open your cb file
2. Machining->Produce gcode (i.e. for ALL the file)
3. select and right click the part required to simulate
4. select, produce gcode, from the context menu
5. with the part still selected choose, Tools->simulate with camotics (part)
if cb2cm.config has, <regen_gfile_before_post>true</regen_gfile_before_post>
do this,
1. start cambam, open your cb file
2. select and right click the part required to simulate
3. select, produce gcode, from the context menu
4. with the part still selected choose, Tools->simulate with camotics (part)
