CAMWorks 2024 SP4 for SolidWorks

1. CWR-2177 –- Toolpath For the specific Mill part, when the 3 Axis Mill toolpath generation method is set to Advanced, the toolpath generated for the Area Clearance operation with "Pocket In - core" pattern is incorrect. The tool entry doesn’t follow the correct Horizontal LeadIn / LeadOut value.
2. CWR-2147 CSR-23519 Toolpath For the specific Mill part when the 3 Axis Mill toolpath generation method is set to Advanced, CAMWorks takes more time to generate the Pattern Project toolpath when the ‘By Slope’ option with Links group box under Finish tab is checked for the operation. Also, the generated toolpath is incorrect.
3. CW-131403 CSR-27119 ShopFloor When the specific ShopFloor file published using SOLIDWORKS 2024 SP2 version is opened in CAMWorks Shopfloor 2023 SP5 version, an error message, "The native CAD file is saved in an unsupported version of SOLIDWORKS; hence, its visualization file will be used for display", gets displayed. This is incorrect as the SOLIDWORKS 2024 SP2 is a supported version.
4. CW-129729 CSR-26644 Operation In CAMWorks Mill-Turn mode, for a Drill operation, when the Add tip length checkbox option under Feature Options tab of that operation is checked and the operation is updated, the checkbox for Add tip length is selected under Blind group box in TechDB. This is incorrect as the feature is a Through feature.
5. CW-129728 CSR-26647 Operation If Contour Mill operations are generated for bottom finish, the CAMWorks application crashes on executing the Save Operation Plan command if the Stepover value set in Options group box under Bottom Finish dialog box is more than the tool diameter.
6. CW-128936 CSR-26388 VoluMill When the Rough Pocketing Pattern is set to VoluMill for a combined operation, reordering the operation sequence for the combined operation does not work. If the order of operation sequence is changed and toolpath is generated, the order of operations resets to previous order.
7. CW-128908 CSR-26385 Rebuild For any Mill part, the sketch-based slot feature segment changes to Open Air Segment status when the sketch is edited, and feature is rebuilt.
8. CW-128883 CSR-26358 Assembly For the specific Assembly file, when generating Mirror toolpath for a Rough Mill operation of a specific component part, the Y offset value input in the Mirror group box is not considered. This results in incorrect Y offset value in the generated toolpath. However, if the part containing the Rough Mill operation is opened in the Part mode and then the mirror toolpath is generated, correct Y offset value is considered.
9. CW-128409 CSR-25347 API The API named ‘SetActiveMainChuck’ is not working.
10. CW-127900 CSR-26075 Setup Sheet When generating Setup Sheets in a *.doc format for some part models, the tool and insert images get displayed incorrectly when the *.doc file is opened. However, the Tool and Insert images are displayed correctly when Setup Sheets are generated in other file formats.
11. CW-127809 CSR-26084 Toolpath The Mirror toolpath generated for the Contour Mill operation does not consider the Avoid areas Link method when the method is set to ‘Feed Over’. If the ‘Maintain Climb/ Conventional’ checkbox option under Advanced tab is also checked, then a rapid move at the bottom of the toolpath is observed which gouges the part.
12. CW-127770 CSR-26089 Feed Speed When the character for decimal separator is changed from ‘.’ (dot character) to ‘,’ (comma character) on the system and the Feed/Speed Library is opened, then the ‘,’ (comma character) is not accepted as the decimal separator. An error message gets displayed. This is observed when value of Depth of Cut parameter is changed.
13. CW-127142 CSR-25857 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, incorrect Rough Mill and Finish toolpaths are generated for one of its Irregular Pocket features that contains a Circular Island feature. The toolpath for a similar feature is generated correctly, when the feature is defined using a Sketch boundary.
14. CW-127096 CSR-25842 Feed Speed In Assembly mode, the Feed/Speed value for its Center Drill operation in the posted NC output is incorrect when the M3-Axis-Tutorial post processor is used. The Feed/Speed value displayed in the F/S tab for the Center Drill operation and the actual Feed/Speed value posted in the code are different.
15. CW-126960 CSR-25382 Assembly In Assembly mode, when machining a Group Hole feature, if a final side cut is made, the assigned final Feedrate value applies only to the first hole feature in the group.
16. CW-126693 CSR-25631 ShopFloor If a ShopFloor file is published in CAMWorks with settings for the Post Processor assigned to not output a file extension for generated NC file, the NC file fails to load in the CAMWorks ShopFloor application after the ShopFloor file is opened in it.
17. CW-126361 CSR-25474 Post In Assembly mode, output value of the post variables OPR_Z_RAPID_PLANE and OPR_Z_CLEARANCE for a Probe operation is calculated with respect to the Fixture Coordinate System even though a reference part and setup origin has been assigned.
18. CW-126355 CSR-25509 VoluMill When the Roughing Pocketing Pattern for a Wrapped Slot feature is set to VoluMill and the Avoid part faces checkbox option is checked, CAMWorks fails to generate the toolpath.
19. CW-125823 CSR-25397 Toolpath For the specific Assembly last saved in CAMWorks 2021, if opened in later annual versions of CAMWorks, the toolpaths for Contour Mill operations do not get regenerated.
20. CW-125433 CSR-25158 TechDB When a tool is used in multiple Assembly Tools with different protrusion length and if the protrusion length for one of these Assembly Tools is changed and saved to the TechDB, then protrusion length for all the assembly tools gets changed.
21. CW-124200 CSR-24348 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, when editing the Contour Mill operation containing Tab Cuts, the CAMWorks application crashes up on attempting to save the changes.
22. CW-123830 CW-123199 CSR-24127 CSR-23951 Toolpath In Turn mode, for a Bore Rough operation with Canned Cycle, when the Retract to option under the NC tab of Operation Parameters dialog box is set to Auto, then incorrect toolpath gets generated. The retract moves are incorrect, which gouges the part.
23. CW-123096 CSR-23887 System For the specific Mill-Turn part, when selecting ‘Edit Definition’ option for a Prime Turn toolpath that uses WIP from previous operation, it is observed that there is some delay every time user switches to Turn Rough tab of Operation Parameters dialog box.
24. CW-122536 CSR-23702 Simulation For the specific Turn part, when running the simulation with Simulation Speed bar set to ‘Minimum’ and End Condition set to ‘Up to Current’, an error message “Cannot continue with simulation” gets displayed and simulation stops.
25. CW-120290 CSR-22694 Feature For the specific Mill part, the Circular Pocket feature with chamfers at the top and bottom recognized using the Recognize Features option for a Mill part setup is incorrect. Only the bottom chamfer gets recognized correctly.
26. CW-115823 CSR-20664 System If an Assembly containing two or more configurations is opened when CAMWorks is loaded as an Add-in within the SOLIDWORKS application, the time taken to switch from one SOLIDWORKS configuration to another is significantly higher than expected.
27. CW-114514 CW-114372 CSR-19670 Toolpath For the specific Turn part, for its Bore Rough operation, the Rest Bore Roughing toolpath is generated by considering leftover WIP from simulation. However, the geometry of the leftover WIP produces is incorrect and it therefore results in an incorrect toolpath
28. CW-112028 CSR-18444 Assembly For the specific Mill Assembly, when a Part Setup Origin is selected under Origin tab of Part Setup Parameters dialog box, then on reopening the file, the XYZ Min/Max values of toolpath change to incorrect values.
