Well I got some time this evening to mess a bit more with Mill, still just simple stuff but I wanted to try out parts I have done in other CAM packages just to compare.
All I can say is I am very impressed so far and I am really liking it. Seems very intuitive and easy to learn.
Just hope that Lathe gets a similar upgrade as the difference between Mill and Lathe is night and day, not just in the work flow but the speed of toolpath generation, in Mill its done, in Lathe you have to go away and come back later or you can get quite annoyed sitting watching it, especially when you have custom tool holders defined. Even the simulation in Mill opens 10 times faster than the sim in lathe but that may just be because my lathe parts were a bit more complex than any Mill ones I have done so far, time will tell.
Regarding Lathe, the CAM works out thread height/depth for the theoretical point, ie if you were using a sharp point tool. I use full profile tools mainly so that meant I would always have to edit the code produced to reduce the depth, only way around that from the CAM side would have been to manually enter the height each thread and for that you would have to work it out depending on the pitch and diameter of the thread.
The Post Processor however is very configurable so I was able to alter it so that it ignores the CAM calculated height and works out its own values and it seems to be working well
I have also done a few extra things in the PP, they are all to do with advanced options showing in CAM, things such as possibility to choose whether to have an optional stop entered at the end of a rough or a finish or thread or whatever. The advanced postion options mean as long as you can do some simple VB you can basically add anything you like to the advanced posting options page in the CAM so you can choose what you want as you go through the process of making the toolpaths
