13. CW-134447 CSR-28014 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, incorrect Rapid moves occur between holes in a Thread Mill operation. These rapid moves are added only if the Use Skim Plane option under the NC tab of the Operation Parameters dialog box is checked.
14. CW-134378 CSR-28005 Simulation For the specific Mill part, using Sample_3ax as the simulation machine for Step Through Toolpath shows a circular interpolation error during simulation due to a missing Y-axis move before an arc.
15. CW-133910 CSR-27896 TechDB In a custom TechDB, the user cannot delete a defined Strategy for a Curve feature with an ID of '-1' because the Delete button is disabled.
16. CW-133764 CSR-27865 Assembly When using custom Part/Assembly to define the Shape of fixture in Fixture tab of Machine dialog box, the fixture location is incorrectly displayed. In the Select components to define Chuck/Fixture dialog box the Coordinate System dropdown list does not have the option of Spindle coordinate system.
17. CW-133563 CSR-27746 System CAMWorks Data for the specific MillTurn part saved in CAMWorks 2023 SP5 cannot be restored when trying to reopen the part.
18. CW-133526 CSR-27776 Operation For any Mill parts, reordering the Mill Part Setups in the CAMWorks Operation Tree causes the Operations having Rest WIP operations to lose links with the WIP computed operations.
19. CW-133495 CSR-27762 Simulation In CAMWorks Virtual Machine 2025, the Boring bars and custom tool holders are imported incorrectly. The Enable spinning option under the Holder component group box of Tool Database popup window is incorrectly set to ‘Always’ by default when custom tool holders are imported.
20. CW-133341 CSR-27719 API The API for adding a sub spindle operation fails to insert the operation.
21. CW-133233 CSR-27700 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, CAMWorks ignores the Island feature when generating the Face Mill toolpath if the Island feature present on the Face feature has closed profiles.

CW-133232 CSR-27698 Toolpath For any Mill part, the Contour Mill toolpath displayed for an Open Profile feature is incorrect, when the CNC compensation is set to ‘Yes’ and Toolpath center is set to ‘Without compensation’ under the NC tab of Operation Parameters dialog box. However, the toolpaths are displayed correctly if the Limited Look ahead option under NC tab and the Display toolpath at G-code coordinates option under Setup tab of Machine dialog box are unchecked.
23. CW-133070 CSR-27670 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, when the Final Cut Amount is less than 0.01 inches and the Single Cut Depth option in the Side Parameters dialog box is checked for a Contour Mill operation, then the toolpath is generated incorrectly for this operation.
24. CW-133065 CSR-27678 Assembly In CAMWorks 2024 Assembly mode, if the Work Coordinate to Use option under the Offset tab of the Setup Parameters dialog box is set to Fixture Coordinate System for any Mill setup, it reverts to Part Setup Origin upon reopening the Setup Parameters dialog box.
25. CW-133059 CSR-27643 Operation For the specific Assembly file, the Toolpath analysis Min/Max values for indexed operations are incorrect because a transformation of these values is not being applied. For example, the Min Z value should be -5.6563, but it displayed as -1.17 instead.
26. CW-133058 CSR-27644 Simulation In CAMWorks Virtual Machine the TRANSMIT command makes the toolpath approach from the wrong side resulting in a crash.
27. CW-133047 CSR-27668 System Restore the CAMWorks data from the specific Mill part.
28. CW-133037 CSR-27672 Feature When inserting an Engrave Feature using a Sketch, if theSketch is dissolved, some Spline segments go missing, resulting in an incomplete Engrave Feature. However, if the Sketch is used without dissolving, the Engrave Feature is generated correctly.
29. CW-133029 CSR-27662 System When saving any 3 Axis VoluMill operation plan with the Leadin feedrate % checkbox option checked in the F/S tab, the checkbox is not selected in the regenerated operation. This inconsistency can cause tool breakage when changing materials, as the Leadin feedrate does not update from the F/S library.
30. CW-133007 CSR-27657 VoluMill For the specific assembly, the VoluMill toolpath for an Irregular Pocket feature fails to generate and displays error 1007. However, if the Avoid Part Faces option is checked or the Rest Machining Model Method is set to From WIP, the toolpath generates correctly.
31. CW-132982 CSR-27623 UIF For the specific Mill part being machined using a 4 Axis Mill Machine, the Fixture Coordinate System option is not displayed under the Axis tab of the Part Setup Parameters dialog box in one of its Mill Part Setups. As a result, the X axis is incorrectly directed, causing a drill tool breakage.
32. CW-132971 CSR-27117 Toolpath When the 3 Axis Mill toolpath generation method is set to Advanced, the Area Clearance toolpath generated using the Adaptive pattern does not consider the assigned Avoid Allowance value.
33. CW-132593 CSR-27499 Toolpath For the specific Assembly file, the P2P toolpath creates the wrong toolpath depth in the Countersink Group Hole feature due to incorrect machinable hole parameters. This results in toolpaths being made in the air for the operations. However, if the Condense Split Holes option in Mill Features tab of Options dialog box is unchecked before executing the Extract Machinable Features command, the toolpath generates correctly.
34. CW-132281 CSR-27466 Assembly For the specific Assembly file, the Coordinates for G55 gets displayed incorrectly.
35. CW-132253 CSR-27456 Help The CAMWorks Installation Guide incorrectly states that the users need to uninstall the current Service Pack of CAMWorks before installing a new Service Pack of the same Annual version.
36. CW-132236 CSR-27445 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, the toolpath display and Step Through toolpath simulation are incorrect and show part gouging when CNC Comp is set to Yes and Toolpath Center is set to Without Compensation. However, if the Limited Look Ahead option under NC tab of Operation Parameters dialog box is unchecked, no gouge is displayed in the CAMWorks graphics area or the Step Through toolpath simulation.
37. CW-132235 CSR-27446 Post System variable TOOL_NUM_TEETH is not being passed to posting environment.
38. CW-132234 CSR-27441 Post Post problem using SYS_CANNED(4,CALC_BREAK_LINE_FACE)
39. CW-132223 CSR-27423 System If the Auto save every option under the General tab of CAMWorks Options dialog box is checked, the Operation Parameters dialog box for any Multiaxis Mill operation closes during auto save.
40. CW-132218 CSR-27408 TechDB The Feedrate parameter and the Feedrate parameter in slowdown should be independent, but for Cutoff operations in CAMWorks TechDB, they are not. However, in the CAMWorks application, the behavior is correct.
41. CW-132196 CSR-27399 Toolpath For the specific assembly file, when the Clearance Plane option under the NC tab of the Operation Parameters dialog box is set to Previous Machined Depth for a Contour Mill operation, the toolpath gouges the part. This occurs when the origin is set to the bottom of the part.
42. CW-132163 CSR-27404 Toolpath Spiral Entry is not consistent in Contour pocket between Exterior and Interior Contours.
43. CW-132077 CSR-27378 Simulation For the specific Mill part, when running Step Through toolpath for a Face Mill operation, the graphics show peculiar simulation in the tool at lead-ins and lead-outs.

45. CW-131557 CSR-27157 Setup Sheet When generating a setup sheet for a Mill-Turn part, the Turn RPM and Feed values are not included in the output. This is because the variables 'TurnOperationSpindleSpeed' and 'TurnOperationFeedRate' are not added in the style sheet (Mill Turn Operations.xslt).
46. CW-130543 CSR-26910 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, when using an STL as stock, the Leadin and Leadout clearances in the Face Mill operation are significantly larger compared to using a Bounding Box as stock. This discrepancy occurs despite the STL stock being the same projected stock as the Bounding Box, leading to incorrect toolpath clearances.
47. CW-129829 CSR-26740 Toolpath In CAMWorks Turn mode, for the specific Turn part, if the Fixture Avoidance Clearance option under the Advanced tab of the Operation Parameters dialog box is assigned certain values, the Turn Rough toolpath fails to generate.
48. CW-129806 CSR-26718 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, the contour mill toolpath for a Group Open Profile feature fails to generate correctly when the Limited look ahead option under NC tab is checked. However, the toolpath generates correctly correct for individual open profile features with the same parameters. Under the Leadin tab, either Gouge Check option is unchecked or the Link between Side Passes option is set to Stay Down, the toolpath for Group feature generates correctly.
49. CW-129786 CSR-26694 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, the Contour Mill toolpath for a Slot feature with air segment only on one edge fails to generate if the tool diameter matches the Groove width. Slightly reducing the tool diameter allows the toolpath to generate successfully. However, roughing and finishing toolpaths generate correctly for similar slot features with air segments on opposite edges without the need to reduce tool diameter.
50. CW-129732 CSR-26659 Post The "Advanced Approach and Retract" setting does not affect the g-code output for "X then Z" or "Z then X" when using the 2 Axis or 4 Axis Mill-Turn post. Toggling between these settings does not change the g-code, even though it should reflect different approach strategies.
51. CW-129059 CSR-26446 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, the toolpath for an operation displays differently than the posted code.
52. CW-129012 CSR-26433 Help In CAMWorks help file, update the information regarding the Define Part Reference Point functionality.

54. CW-128865 CSR-22747 Help In the CAMWorks TechDB help for turning operations, the "Spindle range" parameter is only available as a text item without a hyperlink or detailed information. Add the hyperlink and details for better guidance.
55. CW-128619 CSR-26318 Simulation For the specific Mill part, when using an STL file as stock, the simulation incorrectly shows material removed by tool holders from previous operations, even with collision options ignored. This issue does not occur if a bounding box is defined as the stock.
56. CW-128522 CSR-26271 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, the offset roughing toolpath stepover on an Irregular Slot feature is missing in a certain area when the Maintain Climb/Conventional option in the Mirror group box under the Advanced tab is checked. However, the toolpath generates correctly if the Rough Pocketing Pattern type is changed or if the Maintain Climb/Conventional option is unchecked.
57. CW-128057 CSR-26229 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, the Bottom Finish pass fails to cut the entire bottom of the pocket feature.
58. CW-126855 CSR-25669 Operation CAMWorks fails to generate the toolpath for a Rough Mill operation if the width of the feature is same as the tool diameter. This is observed with all the Roughing Pocketing Patterns.
59. CW-126735 CSR-25639 Simulation For the specific Assembly file, using a cleanup pass with ramp in the Contour Mill toolpath for a Circular Boss feature shows a small step in the simulation, which is incorrect. This issue occurs because of a mismatch when the cleanup pass removes material left at the bottom due to helical moves.
60. CW-126360 CSR-25528 Operation When the Replace tool command is used for an assembly tool crib, only the tool is replaced while the holder remains the same, which is incorrect. For an assembly tool, the entire assembly should be replaced, not just the tool.
61. CW-125608 CSR-25148 Rebuild When SOLIDWORKS is opened with both CAMWorks and NESTINGWorks active, creating a nest job and generating a nested assembly leads to an issue. After running Automatic Feature Recognition and Generating Operation Plan, switching between the CAMWorks Operation Tree and CAMWorks Feature Tree prompts CAMWorks to rebuild repeatedly, regardless of how many times it is rebuilt.
62. CW-125447 CSR-25160 VoluMill For the specific Mill part, selecting the VoluMill pattern with the Rest Machining option set to From WIP generates an incorrect toolpath that gouges the part. However, when the Rest Machining option is set to No, the toolpath is generated correctly.
63. CW-125339 CSR-25100 Feature For the specific Turn part, upon Rebuild the Join Section for an ID Feature goes missing.
64. CW-124717 CSR-24662 Operation When the Optimize between groups option is checked under the Optimize tab of the Operation Parameters dialog box for a Countersink Operation, some Hole features are ignored and not machined.
65. CW-124510 CSR-24498 Toolpath Rest Machining re-machines areas that were previously machined. When running the pocket operation with a small end mill and reducing the sizes used to machine the pocket, the smaller end mill operation recuts over the previously machined pocket areas.
66. CW-123043 CSR-23828 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, the Contour Mill operation for chamfer machining off a curve feature generates incorrectly. At the end of the toolpath, the tool gouges the part.
67. CW-122016 CSR-23496 Simulation For the specific Probe operations in an Assembly file, when running the toolpath simulation, the toolpath simulation freezes if the simulation speed is reduced.
68. CW-121275 CSR-23235 Feature For the specific imported Mill parts, CAMWorks fails to recognize colors while defining a multi-surface feature. When inserting a multi-surface feature and selecting faces by color, the faces are not listed as per the color.
69. CW-120519 CSR-22856 Toolpath The 2.5-axis Contour Mill rest machining toolpath gouges the part on the open profile feature. When selecting a Contour Mill toolpath in the mill part setup, it incorrectly considers the previous tool, resulting in a gouge.
70. CW-118204 CSR-22160 Toolpath The Turn Rough operation using Canned Cycle posts incorrect profile to G-Code output.
71. CW-117949 CSR-22018 Toolpath For the specific Turn part, the Turn Rough toolpath for an irregularly shaped OD feature exceeds the maximum cut amount specified damaging the tool insert and makes unnecessary cuts in the air segment, which is incorrect
72. CW-117092 CSR-21489 Feature For the specific Mill part, for Chamfer machining the Curve Feature, the tool leads out of cut incorrectly.
73. CW-116505 CSR-20905 WIP Using the user Defined Turning Tools, the OD finish operation at the part where the Stock is disappearing.
74. CW-116327 CSR-20905 WIP Using the user Defined Turning Tools the OD finish operation at the part where the Leftover WIP is incorrect
75. CW-115082 CSR-20270 Feature There is inconsistency in CAMWorks between the segments and arcs in the Perimeter and Irregular features. For the specific Mill part, one of the Contour Mill operations has a better toolpath with arc moves on an arc or spline geometry compared to the other Contour Mill operations.
76. CW-112876 CSR-18938 CSR-20084 CSR-27227 API Provide an API to import CAM data of a Part into an assembly.
77. CW-112570 CSR-18676 Toolpath When a User Defined Turn Tool is used for Bore Finish operation the toolpath moves beyond the Feature geometry resulting in a crash.
78. CW-101631 CSR-13608 Toolpath For any Turn part, the toolpath generated for an OD feature is incorrect, if the Cut Type under Turn Finis tab of Operations parameters dialog box is set to Turn First. The generated toolpath fails to maintain the correct move and makes moves similar to the Face Down First cut type.
79. CW-101423 CSR-13599 Toolpath In Assembly mode, when generating toolpath for a Group Hole feature, CAMWorks ignores the Contain Area if the 'Optimize between Groups' option under Optimize tab of Operation Parameters dialog box is checked. As a result, the toolpath extends beyond the Contain Area perimeter.
80. CW-98425 CSR-12443 Toolpath The Contour Mill toolpath generated on the Edge Break Curve Feature gouges the part. This is observed when the feature is considered as the small end Fillet segments with the Arc Edges.
