    Description 

    1. CW-50618 ----- UI

    In CAMWorks SP1, during Assembly Machining, when user

    exercises the Override option in the Indexing tab for a

    Setup and inputs a negative angle value, CAMWorks

    displays an error message stating that only values

    between 0 degree and 36o degrees can be entered.

    Previous versions of CAMWorks (including CAMWorks

    2015 SP0.1) allowed users to input negative values.

    2. CW-50455 11-3908 Features

    When the Recognize Features command is executed at

    Mill Part Setup Level, all features are recognized but

    similar/identical features are not grouped together.

    3. CW-50401 ----- Configurations

    When user changes a configuration in the SOLIDOWRKS

    Configuration Manager and selects the "Show selected"

    option in the CAMWorks Configuration dialog box, then

    CAMWorks crashes.

    4. CW-50197 11-3740 Setup Sheet

    In CAMWorks Turn and Mill-Turn mode, the Spindle

    Direction (CW and CCW) is not output to the XML Setup

    Sheet.

    5. CW-49633 11-3609 API

    In nested assemblies where multiple instances of the samepart machined from a common stock, CAMWorks groups

    all instances of the part by default. This results in a

    grouped toolpath. An API needs to be provided to split

    the grouped instances into individual parts, resulting in

    complete toolpaths for every instance of the part.

    6. CW-49529 11-3577 Post

    Create new post variable or new Query command for a

    Turn Thread operation to retrieve the value of the number

    of starts for a Turn Thread cycle.

    7. CW-49464 11-3547 Features

    In CAMWorks 2015, tor the specific part, the sketch

    intended to be used for interactively inserting a 2.5 Axisfeature is not listed in the available Sketches list. This was

    working correctly in CAMWorks 2015.

    8. CW-49449 11-3518 Toolpath

    In CAMWorks 2015, for the specific part, the Pattern

    Project toolpath with Flowline pattern crosses over itself

    and does not follow the Start point of the curve. This was

    working correctly in CAMWorks 2014.

    limits for the diameter of the hole are set to zero.

    16. CW-49301 11-3430 Post

    Create a Post Query command to verify if the Sub

    Programs in Assembly mode have been set to True orFalse.

    17. CW-49072 11-3376 Operations

    For Mill operations, when user executes the Generate

    operation Plan command, the H and D offset values of the

    tool are reset as per the station number it is assigned. This

    over writes the values set in the tool crib in the TechDB.

    18. CW-49031 11-3352 Tool

    In CAMWorks 2015 SP0, the tool in the 'Tool Crib' cannot

    be replaced by the 'Tap Cutting' and 'Tap Rolling' tool from

    the tool database when 'Filter by' option is inactive. This

    was working correctly in previous versions of CAMWorks.

    19. CW-48962 11-3223 TurnFor the specific Turn part, the user defined Turn insertused for the Turn Finish Toolpath operation gouges the

    part and doesn’t follow the OD Feature shape.

    21. CW-48934 11-3288 Post

    For Mill/Turn parts, when a Circular Pattern is used with

    some of its instances skipped for the feature and if a post

    operation is used in between the corresponding

    operations, then the C-axis values in the generated NC

    code are incorrect.

    22. CW-48912 11-3290 Setup Sheet

    When executing the command for generating XML-based

    Setup Sheets for the CAMWorks NC Manager level, it is

    desired that XY ZX Isometric images be generated for each

    Setup. Also, separate Setup sheets need to be generated

    for each setup.

    23.CW-48875

    CW-4799111-2796 Setup Sheet

    When user generates a Setup Sheet for any Turn part

    using a user-defined Style sheet template named

    “TurnProcessSheet.xsl”, the ‘Total time’ value is not

    updated.

    24. CW-48828 11-2873 License

    When the Russian language version of CAMWorks isloaded as an Add-In in SolidWorks, it crashes when the

    CAMWorks License expiry date is close to expiring. This

    Crash occurs before showing the License expiry

    information in Russian language.

    25. CW-48789 11-3240 Toolpath

    For the specific part, though Spiral Entry is defined as the

    Entry Method for all features, it is not reflected on all the

    features being machined by the same operation.

    26. CW-48776 11-3229 Toolpath

    In Assembly mode when calculate safe CNC toolpath is set

    to OFF under the setup tab of machine node, the contour

    mill toolpath with rest roughing options set to ON is not

    generated. But the toolpath display is shown in thegraphics area. However the user will not be able to post

    process the toolpath.

    27. CW-48719 11-3191 Translation

    In Italian version of CAMWorks, in the UI for interactively

    inserting a Multisurface feature, the icons for ‘Face select

    Option’ overlap and are unstable, leading to difficulty in

    selecting the Faces.

    28. CW-48635 11-3097 License

    For a floating license installation, the License Borrow

    option is disabled for clients (users) who don’t have Admin

    rights. License borrowing should be allowed for non-admin

    users.

    29. CW-48628 11-3107 ToolpathIf CAMWorks 2015 SP0 version is installed on a system(with SOLIDWORKS 2015) for the first time, then

    CAMWorks fails to generate toolpaths for any part.

    30. CW-48615 11-3085 Operation

    In Mill machines with rotary axis, the mode for rotary axis

    should be set to 'Fixed' for all features except wrapped

    features. Currently this is being controlled by the settings

    made in TechDB and the user cannot change them in

    CAMWorks.
