What's New in ProCAM II 2004
Features and Enhancements
Importing CAD Data
* New DXF and DWG translators read drawings and solid models from other CAD
systems that support DXF and DWG files up to AutoCAD 2005 and provide more
flexibility over which entities are imported.
* The IGES translator now reads IGES 5.3 files that include Manifold Solid B-Rep Object
(MSBO) entities and the associated entity types. The speed for reading IGES files
has also been increased.
User Interface / Usability
* Part information dialog box displays versions, dates, users, country ID, language, OS
and CPU.
* Save As, Open and Insert dialog boxes display folder panel and most recently used
folder list box for quicker navigation.
* Automatic file compression reduces part file size and speeds up opening and saving
files.
Automatic File Backup Option
* ProCAM II can automatically create a backup file when a .pcii file is saved. Backup
files are saved in a user-defined folder.
Surface Machining
Arc fitting option for Adv. 3 Axis Rough, Flat Area and Z-Level results in:
* Reduced NC code.
* Smoother, more accurate toolpaths.
* Higher feed rates, greater machining accuracy and extended NC machine tool life. * Faster Advanced 3 Axis cutting for all parts, especially larger and more complex
files.
* Pocket in - Core option for Adv. 3 Axis Roughing allows rough pocketing from the
outside inward on core areas.
