The Copy with Geometry feature allows you to duplicate all settings and associated geometry of a feature within the same document. This is a significant time-saver in part programming, ensuring that all meticulously adjusted settings are preserved. Previously, reselecting geometry for intricate selections was cumbersome. Now, with this feature, the process is seamless and efficient.

Another useful feature is the ability to post specific portions of the program more easily than ever before. Instead of setting everything else to “Post No” each time you need to post a different part of the program, you can now simply click the item and choose “Post” or “Post & Save as.” This can be applied to individual features, operations, or entire groups, streamlining the process of isolating and posting desired program sections.

When working with cast stock or other complex geometries, the Trim to Stock option allows you to trim away unwanted toolpaths, focusing only on the stock. This prevents air cuts and ensures efficient machining by adjusting the toolpath height based on the selected geometry.

Effective chip control is crucial in machining. BobCAD-CAM offers a chip break feature in all applicable Lathe operations. While many inserts are designed to break chips automatically, unbroken chips can sometimes cause issues. This feature allows you to control the retract distance and spacing between retracts, ensuring optimal chip size.
