1. CWR-2172 CSR-25485 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, when the 3 Axis Mill toolpath generation method is set to Advanced, the Pencil Mill toolpath for its Pocket feature gets generated for a particular SOLIDWORKS Configuration. However, when the SOLIDWORKS Configuration is changed, the Pencil Mill toolpath for the Pocket feature fails to regenerate.
2. CWR-2166 CSR-25131 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, when the 3 Axis Mill toolpath generation method is set to Advanced, the assigned Horizontal leadin/out parameters for Area Clearance operation do not get applied when the toolpath is generated. This results in gouging of the part.
3. CWR-2150 CSR-23782 Toolpath For the specific Assembly file, when the 3 Axis Miil toolpath generation method is set to Advanced, CAMWorks fails to generate the toolpath for the first Z Level operation from the setup. However, if the 3 Axis toolpath generation method is set to Previous method, then the toolpath gets generated.
4. CW-133058 CSR-27644 Simulation When executing Step Through command for the specific part programmed using CAMWorks, the TRANSMIT command makes the toolpath approach from the wrong side causing the table to crash into the machine.
5. CW-132456 CSR-27474 Toolpath For any Contour Mill operation that is generated for a 3D Curve feature, if the Leadin/Leadout moves overlap, then the toolpath ends up gouging the part model.
6. CW-132212 CSR-27412 Help The appendix section of the Setup Sheet tutorial document needs to be updated to include all the parameters and corresponding descriptions of all different orientation views available.
7. CW-131780 CSR-27155 TechDB In the CAMWorks TechDB, if an existing multi-stepped Hole operation is edited, saved and then copied to another operation, then the operation supposed to contain the copied values contains default parametric values instead of the copied values.

9. CW-131380 CSR-27114 Toolpath For the specific Turn part, when the assigned stock type is STL, then the Step Out amount segment is at the wrong side of the Turn Rough toolpath and end up gouging the part. This is observed only when Step Out amount is set below 0.23 inches.
10. CW-129872 CSR-26755 Toolpath For the specific Mill-Turn part, the Face Rough Operations on the Main Spindle and Sub Spindle having identical parameters do not generate identical toolpaths. The Sub Spindle toolpath generated is incorrect and does not have radical cuts.
11. CW-129058 CSR-26407 TechDB If a user tries to open the Machines user interface within CAMWorks TechDB on a system where only the CAMWorks application is has been installed but not the CAMWorks Virtual Machine application, then an irrelevant error message that states, “There was no entry found in the registry for the simulation machine path.” Gets displayed. A message that informs the user to install CAMWorks Virtual Machine application must get displayed instead.
12. CW-129001 CSR-26447 Virtual Machine In the Roboris Machine Controller dropdown list of CAMWorks Virtual Machine, the ‘Tnl’ option that indicates support for Traub Controller needs to be made available.
13. CW-128975 CSR-26368 Feature For the specific assembly containing nested parts, the CAMWorks Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR set to MfgView) recognizes the part’s outside profile as a pocket feature in addition to the part perimeter. Additional pocket feature must not be recognized.
14. CW-128933 CSR-26352 Toolpath The specific User Defined Tool Insert when assigned to a Face Groove operation overcuts the part during machining. This occurs because the Ball Edge groove insert geometry considers the driving point as the tip of the insert rather than the center of the insert.
15. CW-128890 CSR-26369 Tool The minimum Shank diameter allowed for a Lollipop tool is currently half the tool diameter or more. CAMWorks must allow values lower than half the tool diameter value.
16. CW-128031 CSR-22530 Virtual Machine When simulating Face Drill operations on a CAMWorks Virtual Machine with Fanuc Post Processor, the C Axis rotates in the wrong direction.
17. CW-128029 CSR-26190 System If any Mill assembly that has multiple user-defined Mill holders assigned to tools assigned to its operations is opened on a system that doesn’t have the *.mh (user-defined mill holder) files in the expected folder location, then attempting to open the Operation Parameters dialog box takes more than 50 seconds to open
18. CW-128028 CSR-26193 Simulation For the specific Mill part, the Leadin/Out move of the Contour Mill toolpath generated for the Circular Pocket feature gouges the part. This gouge is shown during simulation. It happens only when the ‘Limit Look Ahead’ option is checked.
19. CW-128023 CSR-26191 Feature When a hole present on the cylindrical surface of the Mill part is interactively inserted as a pocket feature, then CAMWorks inserts it as an irregular pocket instead of circular pocket.
20. CW-128020 CSR-26181 Feature When user attempts to interactively insert a hole present on the cylindrical surface of the Mill part as a hole feature using IFR, then CAMWorks displays an error and fails to insert the hole feature.

47. CW-120396 CSR-22761 Toolpath For the specific Mill part, some of the rapid moves generated for its Contour Mill toolpath are simulated incorrectly. It happens only with combined Pattern Toolpaths.
48. CW-119811 CSR-22671 Feature For the specific Turn part with Part Profile Method set to ‘Revolved Section’, the Turn Rough toolpath generated for the OD feature gouges the part.
49. CW-116795 CSR-21275 Setup For the specific Mill-Turn part file, incorrect Rough Mill toolpath values are output for the wrapped pocket feature as the ‘X’ position value of the non-SOLIDWORKS Coordinate System for the Mill Setup is incorrect.
50. CW-116678 CSR-21148 Assembly For the specific Mill assembly, when the "Check accessibility for through features" under CAMWorks Options is checked and the Extract Machinable Features command is executed, it is observed that Feature Recognition is not consistent between identical parts of the assembly.
51. CW-116500 CSR-20991 Feature For the specific Turn part, executing the ‘Extract Machinable Features’ command does not recognize one of the grooves on the OD. It gets recognized as a component of the Turn OD feature.
52. CW-116305 CSR-20912 TechDB CAMWorks commutes the Spindle direction based on Machine orientation (CW/CCW, Spindle being used, Feature being machined and Hand of cut of the tool). So, the ‘Override spindle direction’ check box should be set to False by default within the TechDB. Currently, it is set to True, resulting in incorrect spindle direction.
53. CW-116294 CSR-20298 Feature For the specific Turn part, the CAMWorks application lags after the Extract Machinable Features command is executed.
