Part Update - How do I update a revised part?

scott_harris

Sorry if this has already been discussed. As I change parts in Part Studio, I can not find the way to update the workpiece in CAM Studio. What am I missing?

PS. Pico can't find it either.

Also...  a workpiece should maintain it's part name when brought into CAM Studio...

@scott_harris  Just to clarify, are you trying to edit the stock definition, or update the part you changed in the part studio to cam studio?
To update a part in CAM studio you need to first create a version. Next, go to the components page and click the blue icon of the part. 

If you need to edit the stock definition, you will need to edit the job and change the stock size. Does that answer your question?

Hi John... Yes. I am trying to update the part, not the stock. Thanks for the tip... it works fine.

Officially the update is not fully supported yet.  It kind of works..  The goal very soon will be for it to update exactly like drawings.  You tell CAM Studio to use the newer version. and the toolpaths will update appropriately . .that project is being worked on now...

Thanks Joe. An indicator that the model is out of date (like drawings) is extremely valuable.
