Good day I am new to Open build Cam. I created a project, used Openbuilds control to do the cutting. Now i want to make some modifications and cannot get the project pulled into Open build cam. Please advice what i am doing wrong. I can open the file with Openbuilds control but not Openbuild cam.I would appreciate any advice.
Did you remember to save the project in CAM (File > Save Project (Export .OBC file) menu) Then load the saved OBC file from File > Open Project (.JSON, .OBC) If you only exported GCODE but didnt save the project workspace, start over and set up your toolpaths from a CAD import again
Thanks Peter, Now i know my mistake. I only saved the Gcode. So there is no way to retrieve my design, that is how we learn. May you have a great day.
Peter is there a tutorial that can show me the capabilities of Open build cam. On mine do not se option to draw lines or curves. Just the basic circle and rectangle and inserting of drawings. Seems very limited
Its mainly a CAM, not a CAD. docs:software:overview [OpenBuilds Documentation] Draw in a CAD (as fancy as you need it to be), bring the DXF here to make Gcode from it (or use an even fancier CAM too) docs:software:file-errors [OpenBuilds Documentation] Do remember to draw CNC-able drawings too (Closed vectors, polylines/paths etc)
