How to update the CAD geometry processed in CAM Studio?
CEM_ALBUKREK
Member Posts: 2 ✭
- We imported a SolidWorks part file into CAD and built a CNC process for it under CAM Studio. SO FAR SO GOOD.
- Now, we would like to update the CAD geometry by importing a slightly revised version of the SolidWorks part file; and expect the previously defined CAM Studio process to operate on the revised geometry.
Unfortunately, the parts in CAM Studio do not update as expected and we are forced to rebuild the CAM Studio process from scratch every time there is a geometry update.
What are we doing wrong? Can we not use an existing CAM Studio process with an updated CAD file?
Thank you!

@CEM_ALBUKREK It is possible to update an imported part to be read in cam studio. You need to use the "update" option from the import tab in the document. Once you update to the new cad model, create a new version, and update the part in cam studio.
