Hi Richard,

I tried your VM-6_x_t__1_2022 Haas file in a few versions of BC, including V37 SP2 and it wouldn’t open in any of them. All versions of BC I tried, the program would hang for a couple of minutes and shut down with no warning or error message. I did open it in another CAD viewer, JT2GO, and it was fine.

that was my exact experience too…

I wonder Why BobCad Chocks, it knows that file…

I will take a look at the JT2GO program too.

Thanks

Yes, it is a supported file.

I don’t usually work with that file type.

In your experience has BC opened other cad files you have that are the same format or just this VM-6 file.

Ya, I Have opened a Parasolid file here and there… they are usually a single layer or one solid component file, unlike this one…
I have looked at this file type before for 3D tool paths, wondering if it was any better.

My latest machine is a 2020 VF4SS and I have run into some toolpath issues, I was wondering if it was the file type at that time.

A more common file I deal with is Step…
