CAMWorks 2024 SP5 for SolidWorks

1. CW-132253 CSR-27456 Help The CAMWorks Installation Guide incorrectly states that users need to uninstall the current version of CAMWorks before installing a new Service Pack of an annual version.
2. CW-132084 CSR-27382 Assembly The CAMWorks application loaded as an add-in within SOLIDWORKS crashes when user attempts to open a specific Assembly file.
3. CW-131979 CSR-27323 System For any Mill part, in Contour tab of Contour Mill operation, when user clicks on Settings button adjacent to Tab Cutting checkbox, CAMWorks prompts a message to set the feature height value. This message gets displayed multiple times and CAMWorks crashes upon closing the dialog box.
4. CW-131813 CSR-27306 Simulation In CAMWorks Simulation mode, if all the Collison checks are set to OFF and the simulation is executed, then for some of the tools, CAMWorks still displays an error message for collision between Tool Shank and the Stock. This is incorrect.
5. CW-131780 CSR-27155 TechDB In the CAMWorks TechDB, if an existing Multi-Stepped Hole operation is edited and saved and then copied to another operation, the copied operation contains the default parametric values instead of the assigned values.
6. CW-131663 CSR-27223 Post When using the Turn Post Processor for generating the NC code, none of the comments assigned to any of the operations get output in the NC code.
7. CW-131614 CSR-27217 Toolpath For the specific Mill part assigned an STL stock, the Contour Mill toolpath with Tab Cuts gouges the part and thereby violates the integrity of the part.
8. CW-131610 CSR-27195 Feature For the specific assembly, user’s attempt to generate a Hole or Circular Pocket feature using the cylindrical face fails. An irregular pocket gets recognized instead.
9. CW-131597 CSR-27164 Assembly For the specific Assembly, when trying to edit its Entry Drill operation, CAMWorks application crashes without displaying any error message.
10. CW-131173 CSR-27075 Toolpath For the specific Mill-Turn part, when the Wrap feature toolpath has a few moves with angle rotation greater than 180 degrees, it causes the tool to crash through the part because machine follows the shortest path.
11. CW-131170 CSR-27063 Toolpath For any Turn Canned Drill operation, if the ‘Approach Z Offset’ value is same as the ‘Retract distance’, then it generates an incorrect Z value for approach in the CL and posted NC code.
12. CW-130766 CSR-27001 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, when the Roughing pattern is set to VoluMill and toolpath is generated, incorrect Leadout moves that gouge the part are observed.
13. CW-130116 CSR-26810 System The SOLIDWORKS application with the CAMWorks Add-in crashes on changing the SOLIDWORKS assembly parameter and selecting Rebuild when prompted by CAMWorks.
14. CW-128560 CSR-26276 Toolpath For the specific Assembly file, when some of the operations are linked and toolpath is generated, the Rapid plane position for one of the operations is incorrect.
15. CW-128559 CSR-26312 Toolpath For Mill parts with Center Drill operations, the toolpath does not get generated for the following combination of options under Optimize tab of the Center Drill operations:
___________________________________________
Method | Last Closest |Optimize Between Groups
_________________________________________
Shortest | |
Path | Checked | Checked
Grid | Checked | Checked
Grid | Unchecked | Checked
16. CW-128545 CSR-26293 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, some of the link moves of the Rough Mill toolpath ignores the selected Avoid area and gouges the part. This is observed when the Stay at depth checkbox option under the Roughing tab is checked.
17. CW-128479 CSR-26244 Toolpath For the specific Mill part with combined irregular pockets, the Contour Mill operation generated to machine these features has Toolpath Center set to Without Compensation and the CNC comp set to "Yes". The generated toolpath gouges the part due to overcutting during tool entry. This is happening with combined irregular pockets where the 'G41' is not available in posted NC output.
18. CW-127657 CSR-25985 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, unless the ‘Last closest’ checkbox is checked, CAMWorks does not generate Center Drill toolpath for grouped Hole feature when the ‘Optimize between groups’ and specifically when the ‘optimized between group feature’ check box is on.
19. CW-127145 CSR-25861 Toolpath For a Face Feature with an island, the island is defined as an Avoid Area using a sketch. The Roughing operation generated for this feature does not consider the island during machining.
20. CW-127026 CSR-26062 CSR-26627 API Implement an API to Get and Set the Operation Comment fields associated with each operation.
21. CW-126951 CSR-25673 ShopFloor For the specific ShopFloor file generated and viewed on CAMWorks ShopFloor 2023, the Annotations sections displays the DimExpert text from SOLIDWORKS file as a barcode irrespective of the font used in the SOLIDWORKS file.
22. CW-126790 CSR-25572 Toolpath For the selected slot feature of the specific Mill part, the Offset Roughing pattern does not generate the correct toolpath.
23. CW-126374 CSR-25524 Toolpath For the specific Assembly, the Contour Mill toolpath generated for its Open Profile feature with Toolpath Center set to Without Compensation does not display the complete toolpath.
24. CW-124125 CSR-24309 Feature For any Mill-Turn part, when trying to edit any existing Wrapped Engrave feature created using multiple Engrave sketches, CAMWorks takes too long to respond and open the dialog box. Similarly, when attempting to insert a new Wrapped feature using multiple Engrave sketches, CAMWorks takes too long to respond.
25. CW-122261 CSR-23601 VoluMill The 3 Axis VoluMill Toolpath generated in The CAMWorks 2023 is different from toolpath generated in CAMWorks 2022.
