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.

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.
