Problem
This article addresses the issue found in CAMWorks version CW2019 SP0 TechDb and the new operation parameter for Thread Milling called Toolpath Center. This parameter has not been available in versions of the CAMWorks TechDb prior to CW2019 SP0. The default setting for this parameter has been set to ‘without compensation’, which may not be the expected setting that customers will want to be applied.
In instances when custom TechDb data is imported to version CW2019 SP0, the system will apply the ‘without compensation’ setting without warning or notice to the operator.
Solution
To work around this issue, after performing an import from the custom database, the Thread Milling operation parameters must be edited and set to the desired option. The image below shows that in CW2018 and older, the Toolpath Center operation parameter was not available for Thread Milling.
The image below shows CW2019, which includes the new Toolpath Center parameter that is set to ‘without compensation’ by default. Change this parameter as desired.
