CAM Assist for GibbsCAM comes with sample parts you can use to try it out. Opening one saves a copy to your PC and opens it in GibbsCAM.
Open a demo part
- In GibbsCAM, click Demo Parts in the CloudNC group.
- Click Open next to the part you want.
The parts are Demo Part 2, Demo Part 3, and two versions of Demo Part 5, each saved as one file per setup (Demo Part 5 - Setup 1, Demo Part 5 - Setup 2). The (Unmachinable) versions show how CAM Assist reports features it can't machine, under Machinability issues in the Assessment stage. See The guided workflow stages.
The part opens in GibbsCAM. Click CAM Assist to start.
Where the demo files are saved
Demo parts are saved to C:\ProgramData\CloudNC Ltd\CAM Assist\GibbsCAM\Demo Parts. Click Open folder in the Demo Parts window to go there.
Clicking Open again overwrites the saved copy, and any changes to it are lost. Save the part under another name with File > Save As before you change it.
If the part doesn't open
- "Failed to save demo file.": CAM Assist couldn't write to the Demo Parts folder. Check you can create files in
C:\ProgramData\CloudNC Ltd\CAM Assist\GibbsCAM\Demo Parts, or run the installer again. - Nothing happens after you click Open: open the file yourself. Click Open folder, then open the
.vncfile in GibbsCAM.
If it still doesn't open, contact CloudNC support. Include the log files from %ProgramData%\CloudNC Ltd\CAM Assist\GibbsCAM\log.
