In solidcam depths are associative to selected “planes and vertices”.

I have been using Solidcam since 2004, and like any software has had many changes over the years.ġ. I am seeing a lot of bad or mis information here regarding Solidcam and some of the functionality. Overall the power of iMachining didn't make up for the rest of the interface, so we went HSMWorks. They want you to work in the model is done, throw it over the wall mentality. You shouldn't be making real time model updates while you are programming or it will do bad things. They make a copy and it starts to create a mess of your file management. They also don't store the CAM in the CAD model. Automatic speeds and feeds with dynamically changing stepover and feed based on model geometry, it is really nice. It has lots of power and options, but with a crappy interface to make it all work. If you change the model is doesn't update because the value is dumb. It wasn't totally tied to the model like they said, for example: setting your Z planes, you can go and select these from the model directly, but it just plugs a measured value into a dumb field. The interface was a bit clunky, the solidworks integration is only OK.
