CAMWorks 2025 SP3 for SolidWorks

1. CW-139586 CSR-26007 Simulation When simulating a specific programmed part configured in inches using the CAMWorks Virtual Machine application, the Q value in the G87 line is incorrectly processed as a metric value. This occurs after the simulation hits the first breakpoint. Despite the simulation environment being set to inches, the controller interprets the Q value using metric units, leading to incorrect behavior during execution.
2. CW-139562 CSR-28877 Simulation When simulating a specific programmed part model using the CAMWorks Virtual Machine application, the Sub Spindle retracts only 15 inches instead of returning to its designated home position during machining. The G55 Offset is incorrectly derived from the Full Spindle distance instead of the actual retraction length. This leads to misalignment in both simulation and toolpath execution.
3. CW-138817 CSR-29151 Toolpath In CAMWorks 2025 SP2 version, the toolpath Start Point is not displayed for Rough Mill and Contour Mill operations generated for certain 2.5 Axis Features except Curve features and Hole features.
4. CW-138337 CSR-28877 Post In CAMWorks 2025, when multiple G54 work offsets are defined for a Virtual machine, the initial G54 Z offset is not retained or displayed correctly. The initial G54 Z offset when multiple G54s are present should be captured and displayed.
5. CW-138102 CW-138019 CSR-28949 CSR-28895 TechDB For the specific custom TechDB, the Inch units section is missing the Default Operation Parameters for the Probe cycle.
6. CW-138024 CSR-28858 Post For any assembly, if Setup Origin is selected under the Setup's Origin tab, the post variables OPR_Z_RAPID_PLANE and OPR_Z_CLEARANCE in a Probe operation should output values relative to the Setup Origin, regardless of the Reference Part and Setup selections in the Posting tab. Currently, these variables are incorrectly posted based on the Reference Part and Setup, unless manually deselected, resulting in incorrect Z values.
7. CW-137984 CSR-28899 UIF In Mill-Assembly mode, the Tool Crib Priority checkbox setting is not retained when edited from the Tool Crib node in the Tool Tree. After placing a check in the checkbox and confirming the change, reopening the dialog box shows this setting reverted. However, this issue is not observed when the same setting is modified from the Machine node in the Operation Tree.
8. CW-137978 CSR-28880 Toolpath For the specific Assembly, the perimeter of a Boss feature is machined twice when the Optimize between groups checkbox is checked in the Optimize tab of the Operation Parameters dialog. This occurs due to the generation of a duplicate toolpath.
9. CW-137897 CSR-28879 Assembly For the specific Assembly, the lower stock part fails to account for WIP and stock conditions during toolpath generation. For Area Clearance, the toolpath does not reflect the expected stock engagement or depth of cut values, thus indicating that the stock condition is being ignored.
10. CW-137772 CSR-28847 Translation In the Spanish language version of CAMWorks, multiple parameters under the Turn Rough tab and Thread tab of the Operation Parameters dialog box are incorrectly translated.
11. CW-137615 CSR-28585 Operation For the specific Mill-Turn part, an incorrect tool is assigned for the Turn Thread operation when the Generate Operation Plan command is executed.
12. CW-137431 CSR-28701 Performance For the specific part file, a noticeable delay occurs when interacting with the Turn Face operation after linking a User Defined Turn tool from a SOLIDWORKS assembly. Actions such as rotating the part or opening the Operation Parameters dialog box take significantly longer to respond compared to when a default turning tool from the Tool Crib is used. This delay is only observed when the User Defined Tool is linked via the assembly and not when using standard tools.
13. CW-137076 CSR-28591 Application In CAMWorks, when using Fixture Coordinate System or User Defined Coordinate System, the rotary and tilt axis display under the Machine tab of Machine dialog box does not update after a model rebuild. The display only refreshes when the machine node is manually edited and confirmed. This issue persists even after deleting operations and features, and no update occurs if rebuild is not triggered.
14. CW-137032 CSR-28614 Assembly For the specific Assembly, inserting a Face feature results in inconsistent behavior across different parts. While the feature may appear correct for one part, it is incorrect for others, even when identical steps are followed.
15. CW-136914 CSR-28570 Toolpath In CAMWorks, variable allowance set for OD Turn Finish is not applied correctly during toolpath generation, even though all feature segments are assigned a radial X value of -0.01mm. The issue does not occur when using a constant allowance.
16. CW-136805 CSR-28520 TechDB In TechDB, when a Milling tool is created in a non-English language with "Hand of Cut" set to "Right", switching the language back to English causes the Hand of Cut display to reverse incorrectly. This issue affects all tool types, including user-defined tools.
17. CW-135339 CSR-28230 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, when the Toolpath Center is set to Without Compensation and the Look Ahead parameter is set to Limited Look Ahead, the generated toolpath produces incorrect arc values for operations with Links between Side Passes set to Stay Down or Direct. The arc radius is smaller than the tool radius, causing CNC machine errors. The issue does not occur with Links between Side Passes set to Retract to Clearance.
18. CW-134370 CSR-27994 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, one Contour Mill toolpath gets incorrectly generated inside another due to the feature being tapered and filleted. This toolpath must not follow the inner fillet chain, as it leads to inaccurate machining.
19. CW-127100 CSR-25835 CSR-25927 Performance For the specific Turn part, CAMWorks performance significantly degrades when a user-defined tool holder assembly is selected in the Holder tab. The slowdown occurs while rotating the part or switching tabs in Operation Parameter dialog box with the toolpath visible. However, performance remains normal when stepping through the toolpath with the holder display active.
20. CW-125590 CSR-23458 CSR-26618 Operations In Mill-Turn mode, if a mill operation is inserted for a feature with a sub-spindle attribute and operation parameters are copied from a main spindle operation, then the new operation is incorrectly inserted into the main spindle setup. Similarly, copying parameters from a sub-spindle operation to a main spindle feature causes the operation to be inserted in the Sub Spindle Setup. Spindle attributes are not respected when copying operation parameters.
21. CW-124997 CSR-24873 Toolpath In CAMWorks, when toolpaths are copied or mirrored, the system-calculated feedrates within the F/S tab of the Operation Parameters dialog box are inconsistent. Despiteidentical settings, mirrored toolpaths do not replicate the original feedrates, especially during arc movements.
