In case it is not possible to take all the depth of a sudden, you can limit the maximum depth with the Max Depth property, and use several separate operations.Īfter selecting a closed shape, use the Machining menu to create a V-Engrave operation. This plugin does not support multiple passes for the moment, so you should be careful. The V-Engrave operation will therefore vary the machining depth to achieve this purpose. This text (typically an 'N' character) will be written before the line number value.The principle of this machining operation is to cut between two lines forming a "limit" while maintaining the edges of the V cutter in contact with these limits. Line numbers will be incremented by this amount each time a line number is added. '0' characters denote a place holder that will contain either a significant digit or a 0.Ī '#' character will output a significant digit or space character where there is no significant digit at that position. Line Numbering - Line Number FormatĬontrols how the line number values are presented. If True then line numbers will be inserted at the begining of g-code lines. Line Numbering Line Numbering - Add Line Numbers
Lathe - Lathe X Modeįor lathe operations, specifies whether X values are radius or diameter mode. The reference point is sometimes referred to as the 'Imaginary' or 'Virtual' tool point. If False, the dotĪt the tool radius center will be the reference point. In the diagram above, the red cross represents the toolpath reference point when Lathe Tool Radius Offset is set True. For left hand cuts, a positive tool radius Z offset is used. The direction of the Z tool radius offset is determined by the cut direction.įor right hand cuts the toolpath Z will be offset by a negative tool radius. The toolpath will be offset by a negative tool radius in the lathe X axis. If True, an appropriate tool radius offset is applied. If False, the toolpath at the center of the tool radius is output. Each section can contain a mixture of literal text, which is output to the destination gcode file directly, and text macros of the format Lathe - Lathe Tool Radius Offset The post processor definition contains a number of sections. cbpp file extension, stored in the \post sub folder of the system folder. Using the Tools - Reload Post Processors menu option. If post processor files are modified or new ones created outside of CamBam or in another CamBam instance, the post processor list should be refreshed This is a good way of creating variations New post processors can be created via the context menu visible when right clicking the post processor folder.Īlternatively, existing definitions can be copied, pasted then modified. Here, post processor definitions can be created, modified, copied, renamed and deleted. The list of available post processors is accessed from the Post Processor folder of the system tab. This is a multi-line text field containing multiple macro definitions in the format $macro=value. This option is used to pass user defined macros from the drawing to the post processor.
Leave this blank to use the default post processor. This option is a drop down list that contains all the custom post processors defined in the system folder. The default definition will be marked with a green arrow. To set the default post processor, right click the definition in the Post Processors section of the System tab, If no post processor is specified, the default post processor will be used. Look in the Post Processor group of the machining properties. Select the machining folder in the drawing tree and The post processor used for a specific drawing is set under the machining options. These definitions can be created,Ĭopied and modified within the Post Processors section of the System tab. The format of generated gcode files can be controlled using post processor definitions. Documentation for the latest CamBam release is available here.
