That's great ! If you happened to get solids in with your package there are two very fast ways to slice the part to extract your geometry. One way is with the "Slice Spun Body" which is very fast. The other you need to go to plugins, then "plug in manager", then find the menu that says "get section". Put a check in the box to turn it on, then select Apply. To use that select your solid, then go to plugins and select Get Section, then click on Do-It and you have your geometry as well. Good luck!
Hello , i cannot change the yellow arrow with the blue arrow , no matter how many toulsand times i lick the blue always looks in the same direction , what could be wrong , the shape is closed , was made with geometry expert
Not sure what is going on with your part. You should be able to click INSIDE of the arrow to change directions. You might want to check your video card specs under Device Manager, then go to the video card mfg to get an update. I have seen issues with older video card drivers. Most video card mfg's update their drivers every few months. Also make sure your Windows updates have been updated.
@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials Looks like i solved it , your suggestions did nothing by the way (Nothing is old , the software is shitty/picky about the hardware). Thanks for replying tho'
For Milling you first have to make sure the plane you are on (XY, etc) are normal to the screen by clicking on the HOME button. Then just select a Milling tool, open the geometry pallet and select line, then mouse line, then draw your custom toolpath (press esc to stop). Then you can right-click on the geometry you want to rapid and select Show properties. From there you can change the line to rapid. There is no such thing as a rapid G2 or G3 on machine tool controls. Rapids are always lines. With turning just right click on the geometry you want to modify and go through the same process. Hope that helps !
Once you have your part programmed, look at the icons at the top and select the icon that says "Post". From there a window will appear. Click on the first icon on the top left. This will go to a browser window in which you will have to choose the post process for the machine you want code for. Once you have done that then choose the icon below that one. This is where Gibbs is asking where you want to store the G-code for your machine. Once you have that done, then next choose the program number you want to use. Note, choose a program number that is NOT already being used in your cnc machine. Normally also put a check in the "Minimize lane number" box and check Insert Comments. Then press "Process" This will write your code. Then transfer this code to your machine.
@@서예령-w8j GibbsCAM can produce simple G-code as well. It depends on the post processor. If your cnc will not take "canned cycles" then use a post that is called a "long hand" post processor that will write simple g-code.
