BobCAD-CAM: Sketching Points In Reference to Imported geometry
BobCAD-CAM: Sketching Points In Reference to Imported geometry
(OP)
I am using BobCAD-CAM to create tool paths.
I have imported a STEP file of a part that contains holes. I am trying to sketch points in BobCAD in the middle of these holes so that I can use the points to make a drilling tool path.
The problem is, I am unable to make any sketches in reference to the edges of the holes in the STEP file.
Does anyone know how to do this in BobCAD?
Thanks.

RE: BobCAD-CAM: Sketching Points In Reference to Imported geometry
When any solid part that has holes is imported into BobCAD, the circular edges of the holes are split up into 2 half-circle arcs. I was able to use the 2-point-circle tool by selecting the points where the 2 arcs meet.
I was then able to use those circles that I sketched as my geometry for the drilling operation.
