Link to download VisualMill for SolidWorks?

Post by gpettit »

I just re-installed windows and SolidWorks and now need to re-install VisualMill for SolidWorks. Is there a download link for both the 32 and 64 bit versions of VisualMill for SolidWorks?

By the way, Kudos to Mecsoft for creating this add-on for SolidWorks! The add-on has been working great!

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Tim,

same place. Fill in the form and it will take you to the product download area. This includes the latest released software.

But if you can hold off for a few days that will be great since we will be releasing a new update next week. We just received Gold Certification from SolidWorks Inc. :!: :!:

We have made numerous changes to the product for us to enable us to get this certification. We will be announcing this next week after the Service Pack gets uploaded. So hang in there - you won't be sorry you waited!

Is there somewhere a list of changes concerning the VM4SW "gold"?

The main changes were to conform to the UI requirements of Solidworks Gold products. These were:

1) Allow dock-able Mops dialogs in the feature manager
2) Have a property manager ribbon bar entry for VisualMILL
3) Convert Tutorial from PDF to chm format

In addition to these we have also fixed the following bugs:

Critical Bugs:

1. Several part specific program crashes.

2. Mops go missing when a part is opened from assembly file under certain sequence of operations

2. VM4SW 4th Axis & PRO- When set MCS is used to translate / transform the origin, 4th axis rotate table operations still points to the WCS and the rotation is being performed about the WCS.


Other Bugs:
1. SetMCS – SetMCS origin tab- set to part box does not use the rotated MCS bounding box. When user selects Highest Z and Southwest corner, the MCS is set to the Southwest corner and highest Z of WCS and not the rotated MCS.

2. Z Pick value error: Value that appears in the dialog box is incorrect when you pick a point on the model at Z =0 of the rotated MCS. Picking a point above or below the Z =0 of the rotated MCS, the values being displayed in the dialog box is correct.

3. When a sketch/feature is suppressed in SolidWorks, VM looks at the suppressed geometries to compute bounding box and align part& stock.

4. Index 5 axis – Angles being posted are incorrect in certain configurations of machines.

5. Region Stock –High and Low Z range values are not transformed based on the selected sketch geometry. (This happens when the sketch is not on World XY plane) Fixed

UI
1. Update the Machine Setup dialog to handle 5 axis machine configurations (Head/Head, Table/Head & Table/Table.

2. Simulation Preferences Dialog needs to be updated with option to select/deselect Run Simulation during Regeneration of Operations.

3. Select the Separator that splits the Mops and tools browser by holding the left mouse button down and move to left-right and you can see the browser goes blank.

-----------------

Hope this helps.
