Refer to the following section for more detailed information. Any fixes or enhancements to the library scripts will be automatically picked up by drawings that reference them.

The goal is to create a library of common parts that can be shared among many drawings and allow collaboration. The samples folder contains a drawing C-BEAM-Belt-Drive.cb which uses included library scripts (located in the CamBam system\scripts folder) to draw timing pulleys, stepper motor outlines and bearings. Use Edit - Explode to turn script objects into their component static drawing objects, which can be used with previous CamBam versions or further manipulated using CamBam CAD operations.

Script objects will usually run when required to update geometry, but can be forced to run by selecting them in the drawing tree and pressing ‘F5’. Script objects can also be used to run general scripts such as an animation. Scripts can be useful for generating parametric shapes (such as a gear, or tabbed box), creating copies of, or manipulating Scripts can also be included from external sources (the current drawing folder as well as the CamBam system folder\scripts folder are searched). This allows functions, classes or variables to be defined once in the drawing, then referenced in any number of drawing objects. The script object includes scripts from the Script property of the parent layer, as well as the Script property at the top level of the drawing file. Any changes made by the script will be automatically picked up by associated machining operations. Machining operations can be based on script objects in the same way as static drawing objects. For older computers this can be downloaded from here:Ī script object works like other drawing objects, but the geometry is created from a script (python only for now). NET Framework version 4 is usually installed by default on most newer PCs. NET framework version 4 as framework version 2 becomes end of life. NET framework change CamBam is now using the. The Tools - Browse system folder menu item can be used to find the system folder location. To copy settings such as styles, post processors, tool libraries and templates from version 0.9.8, copy relevant files from the old system folder location:

This enables CamBam version 1.0 to be installed alongside version 0.9.8. In a new program folder and it will have it’s own System Folder. CamBam version 1.0 is a new major version, which means that it will be installed
