James joins Grand National commentary team

It would appear our very own James May is making an unlikely bid to become the new Des Lynam.

This Saturday, our man will be taking to the fabled BBC red button to commentate on Britain’s biggest horse race of the year, the gruelling four mile Grade One Grand National from Aintree.

This is not just for fun – it’s all part of his new Man Lab, where May has been training his mind to see if he can remember all the horses and jockeys (40 of them), while talking at approximately 52 miles an hour.

We can only hope that Shakalakaboomboom and Quiscover Fontaine drop out of the running early on…

In preparation May popped down to top trainer David Pipe ahead of the race to see what’s involved in prepping thoroughbred race-horses. You can watch the full film below (with thanks to BBC Sport), where he marvels over the fact that animals that weigh the same as an F1 car and reach speeds of over 40mph. And are, in essence, “real wheel drive”.

And this is just part of May’s domination of the sporting airwaves. On Saturday morning before the race, he’s also on Football Focus – showing hitherto well-hidden knowledge of the beautiful game – predicting the results of the weekend’s matches. He made several Top Gear staff happy by forecasting a much-needed wins for QPR and Spurs.

Plus, of course, last weekend May was an integral part of the Boat Race coverage, joining up with old mucker Oz Clarke before the slightly shambolic events on the Thames to get gently hammered in the pubs en route. If you missed his indispensable guide to the drinking holes of his beloved Hammersmith, you can still watch it here.

The Grand National is live at 16.15 BST, Saturday on BBC One, Radio 5 live and online (UK users only). The alternative commentary by James can be heard via the Red Button

What’s New in ProCAM II
What’s
New in ProCAM II
General
Operation
New!
Solids Machining
TekSoft
has developed Machining Intelligence for Automation, a suite of tools that
automates the generation of toolpath based on a customizable database. ProCAM II
now incorporates these tools in the optional Solids Machining package to
generate toolpath directly from the solid model. Solids Machining generates
G-code for solid models created in any solid model design program that supports
exporting files in Parasolid ASCII (x_t) or Binary (x_b) format.
Features
include:
Feature
Recognition
Automatic
(AFR) – Automatically identifies prismatic machinable features.
Interactive
(IFR) – Interactively create machinable features for solid models.
Automatically
or interactively create patterns of identical features.
Automatically
creates work planes.
Knowledge-based
Machining (KBM)
The
Technology Database (TechDB) captures your company’s methodology and applies
this information to further automate the NC programming process. The TechDB
contains a complete tooling library in metric and inch. The Machine Tool and
Controller database provides the ability to incorporate specific machine
parameters. The Technology Database also encourages facility-wide consistency
and rules-based manufacturing.
Solids
Machining is available for Mill or Turning applications:

right-click in the Part Manager, in the work area and on a toolbar.
New!
Shortcut Key for Button 2 Functions
Now
you can press the Space Bar instead of clicking button 2 to indicate that you
are finished with a particular function or to tell ProCAM to accept the input or
execute a command.
The
Space Bar is used for the middle mouse button (button 2) when you are using a
two-button mouse.
When
using a three-button mouse, the Space Bar serves as a shortcut key for the
middle mouse button functions.
Improved!
Layers Management
The
Layers tab in the Part Manager displays the layers defined for the active part.
A
right-click shortcut menu provides commands for creating a new
layer, turning all layers on or off and deleting unused layers.

Picking Method When Trimming and Breaking Surfaces
When
entities that have been projected onto the surface are used to trim or break
that surface, you can now window pick the entities. If you pick individual
entities, you no longer have to pick them in order.
New!
Pick Multiple Entities When Breaking Surfaces
When
entities that have been projected onto the surface are used to break that
surface, you can now pick multiple entities.

Axis Mill and Multi-surface Machining
New!
Fast Posting Option
A
Fast Posting modifier post processes the part in the background and the code
displays in the Post Window only when post processing is complete. When you
are post processing large parts, you can decrease posting time significantly
by using this modifier.
New!
Folders Dialog Box
The
Folders dialog box displays when you select Folders on the Setup menu. This
dialog box is used to:
Define
default paths that are needed for ProCAM II including the location of
ProCAM II executable, Solids Machining dlls, and post processors.
Change
the default post output folder.
When
you post process a part, the Save Post File dialog box opens a default
folder (\procad\txt). If you want a different folder to open in this dialog
box, you can change the default globally for all post processors or
individually for each post processor.
Access
additional post processor information in the Post Info dialog box.
This
dialog box displays a list of the post processors in the \Procad\Ctl folder
including the current output file extension (e.g., .txt), the machine and
the controller. This dialog box also provides access to information about
the post processor that is contained in two user-defined files.
New!
Change Default File Extension for G-code Output
When
you post process a part, the Save Post File dialog box displays with a
default .txt file extension. If you want a different output file extension
for a post processor, you can edit or create a .pinf file for that post
processor and specify the extension.
New!
Operation Tree
The
Operation tree in the Part Manager provides an outline view of the
operations defined for the active part. The graphical display in the tree
makes it easy to define operations and see how the part will be machined. To
change the machining order, simply drag and drop the operations. To rename
an operation, highlight the operation item in the tree, press F2, then type
the new name.
When
you right-click on an operation, the shortcut menu provides a list of
applicable options: insert a new operation, edit, rerun, rename, list, etc.
All of the functions that were accessed in the Operation List dialog box in
previous releases are available on the shortcut menu. The Operation tree
also contains a controller item that identifies the current post processor
and a Tool item that lists the tools that are used in the operations and
provides right-click access to the Mill Tools dialog box.
New!
Taper Tool Support
Taper
tools are supported in 2Ѕ Axis Mill Lace, Pocket and Profile cutting cycles
and in Multi-surface Machining Rough, Z-Level and Slice Planar cutting
cycles
There
are three additional tool types: taper end mills, hog nose, and
taper ball nose tools in the Set Tool dialog box. For each type of
tapered tool, you must define the taper angle (A) and the taper
length (L2) as shown in the figure of the taper hog nose tool on the
right.
When
using the Contain option, taper tools are supported to the diameter
of the tool, not along the taper.
New!
Drill Roughing Cycle
Drill
Roughing in 2Ѕ Axis Mill and Multi-surface Machining allows you to rough
machine deep cavities by making a series of overlapping plunges into the
material following a roughing cycle pattern. Optionally, ProCAM can
calculate and identify predrill areas. This is useful when the tool is not
center cutting and a predrill is needed at this point. Predrills are added
in a separate operation.

Machining
New!
UV Cut Cycle – Continuous Fillet Surface Cutting Strategy
This
option allows adjacent, constant radius fillets to be continuously machined
using the UV machining strategy.
Normally,
the UV cut cycle cuts each surface individually. The Fillet strategy allows
multiple fillet surfaces with the same radius and width to be cut as if they
were one continuous surface. The UV cut is along the fillets. The corner of
the direction arrow on the first surface selected determines the start of
the toolpath.
Several
restrictions apply to using this strategy:
The
surfaces must have the same radius and width.
The
surfaces must share a common edge and there can be no gaps between the
surfaces.
Isometric View
Top View
New!
Z-Level Cut Cycle – Z Level Link Controls
Four
options are available on the Link Types tab in the Set Operation –
Z-Level Cut dialog box to define the method of moving from Z level to Z
level:
Follow
– The tool path follows the contour of the part when moving from one
Z level to the next and the tool always maintains contact with the
part.
Horizontal/Vertical
– A stair step transition is made from one level to the next. The
tool moves away horizontally from the last move on the previous
level to a position above the next level’s start point and then
moves down in Z. If a leadin and/or leadout are specified, a leadin/leadout
is applied only to the beginning/end of the toolpath.
Spiral
– A spiral transition is made from one level to the next. The tool
moves tangent to the end of the last Z level until tangent to the
start of the next Z level by a specified radius.
Retract
– If a leadin and/or leadout are specified, a leadin and/or
leadout is applied to each Z level. After the leadout move, the tool
retracts according to the specified Z value.
Horizontal/Vertical
Retract
New!
Z-Level Cut Cycle – Lead-ins and Lead-outs
The
Leadin/Out tab in the Set Operation – Z-Level Cut dialog box
provides methods for controlling the start and end of the toolpath.
Leadin options are plunge, arc, perpendicular, parallel and feed.
Leadout options are vertical, arc, perpendicular and parallel.
Improved!
Z-Level Cut Cycle – Core and Cavity Cutting Options
The
Core, Cavity and Face options on the Surface tab in the Set
Operation – Z-Level dialog box determine how ProCAM machines the
selected surfaces.
Filters
The
Filters option is enabled when either Core or Cavity is selected.
Based on the active filter, further control is possible to
selectively machine specific areas on the part. The affect of the
filter is a function of whether Core or Cavity is selected and the
geometry of the model. Choices are:
Cut
Outer Most Only – When the part shape would result in a Z-Level
Cut tool path within a tool path, only the outer most tool path
is retained. All tool paths within the outer most tool path are
automatically removed.
Remove
Outer Most – When the part shape would result in a Z-Level Cut
tool path within a tool path, the outer most toolpath is
removed. All tool paths within the outer most tool path are
retained.
None
No
modifications are made to the tool path normally generated based on
Core or Cavity.
With
Cavities
This
option is enabled when Core is selected and provides additional
control to selectively machine specific areas on the part.
The
affect of the With cavities option on the tool path depends on the
geometry of the model and the active Filter:
When
the Filter is set to None and With cavities is selected, the
resulting tool path machines around the perimeter of the part,
all bosses and all pockets.
When
Filter is set to None and With cavities is not selected, any
tool paths within a cavity area are automatically removed from
the final tool path. This includes boss areas within the cavity.
Extend
to Surface
The
Extend to Surface option is active when Cavity is selected. This
option provides additional control to selectively machine specific
areas on the part.
The
affect of the Extend to surface option, on the tool path, depends on
the shape of the part and the active Filter.
When
the Filter is None and Extend to surface is selected, no
modifications are made to the tool path normally generated
based on Cavity.
When
the Filter is None and Extend to surface is not selected,
any tool paths above the highest cavity extending up to the
highest Z level of the part are automatically removed.
New!
Slice Cut Cycle – Options for Transitioning Between Slice Cuts
Five
options are available on the Link Types tab in the Set Operation –
Slice Cut dialog box to define the method of transitioning from
Slice cut to the next cut:
Horizontal/Vertical
– Depending on the part, to transition from one Slice cut to the
next, ProCAM moves the tool over to the start location of the
next Slice cut, then down. This creates a stair-step effect. For
other parts, ProCAM moves the tool up and over. If a leadin
and/or leadout are used, a single leadin move is made at the
start of the toolpath and a single leadout move is made at the
end of the toolpath.
Retract
– At the end of a Slice cut, ProCAM makes a rapid move up, a
rapid move to a position directly above the start of the next
Slice cut, a rapid move down and a feed move into the start of
the next cut.
Loop
– This link makes a smooth curved transition between the last
cut and the next cut. The link radius is the same size as the
distance between the last cut and the next cut.
Dog
Leg Left and Right – ProCAM makes a smooth transition between
the last cut and the next cut. The loop extends past the left or
right of the link forming a dogleg.
Balloon
– ProCAM makes a smooth transition between the last cut and
the next cut. The loop extends past both sides of the link
forming a balloon. This transition is useful when the stepover
is very small.
New!
Slice Cut Cycle – Selectively Machine Areas Using Contain and
Avoid
Options
on the Contain/Avoid tab in the Set Operation – Slice Cut dialog
box allow you to identify areas to contain the tool path and areas
that the tool path should avoid. The Contain and Avoid options can
be used to selectively machine within specified areas for
re-machining, semi-finishing and finishing.
The
Contain option allows you to select a boundary that the Slice Cut
tool path is to be contained inside of. There are five choices:
None, Stay Inside, Cut Past Boundary and Cut to Boundary Centerline
and Auto Contain.
The
Avoid option allows selecting a boundary that the tool path must
avoid. The Slice Cut tool path will not go inside an avoid area.
There are four choices for cutting with an Avoid area: None, Stay
Outside, Cut Past Boundary and Cut to Boundary Centerline.
The
Distance parameter can be used with the Stay Inside, Cut Past
Boundary and Stay Outside options to define the distance the tool
path must stay away from the selected boundary.
In
this part, Contain and Avoid options can be used to cut the
area of the surface contained within the circle and the B.
The
Stay Inside option is used for Contain and circle and
perimeter cross section entities are picked to contain the
toolpaths.
The
Stay Outside option is used for Avoid and the internal cross
section entities are picked to avoid cutting.
Improved!
Rough Cut Cycle – Machining Depth Control
An
option on the Surface tab in the Set Operation – Rough Cut dialog
box provides a choice of methods for generating roughing toolpaths.
Grid
– This is the original ProCAM roughing algorithm. It is
recommended that the Exact option normally be used for
calculating toolpaths. However, if Exact does not produce the
desired toolpath, you can try Grid.
Exact
– Introduced in ProCAM II, this option provides numerous
benefits over Grid.
For
more complex models with smaller part deviations, the toolpath
calculation time can be significantly less.
More
depth control options are available providing various methods
for defining machining depths and how the depths are processed.
Additional
options are provided to selectively define areas to machine.
Entry
methods have been improved and include spiral entry.
Exact
is the default cutting method for new roughing operations due to
the numerous options and benefits.
New!
Rough Cut Cycle – Depth Processing Options
When
using the Exact method to machine a part with multiple depth passes,
additional options are enabled on the Rough tab and the Surface tab
to specify how ProCAM generates the cut levels.
Sorting
By Area or Level
A
Sorting option is provided on the Rough tab to machine to depth each
pocket area before moving on to the next pocket area. This can
decrease machining time by reducing the amount of time spent
rapiding between pockets and reduce piercing and retracting.
By
Level – ProCAM machines each pocket area at a given Z depth
before machining at the next depth.
By
Area – ProCAM completely machines an area to depth before
machining the next area.
Surface
Finish Options
The
following level calculation methods are provided on the Surface tab.
Scallop
– For ball and hog nose cutters, the cut depth is based on a
specified scallop amount between each successive Z level.
Scallop is a measure of the fineness of the surface finish after
a cut. The smaller the scallop specified for the Maximum scallop
parameter, the greater the number of cuts and the smoother the
surface finish.
Fixed
Cut Amount – When this option is selected, the distance between
each Z depth is based on the specified Cut Amount. This is
considered a maximum depth of cut, as each cut depth will be
averaged to not exceed the specified cut amount. When Hit Flats
is selected, the hit flat level is added, then the next level is
calculated from this point.
Multiple
Cuts – When this option is selected, the distance between each Z
depth is based on the First cut amount and the Sub cut amount
that you specify. The first cut depth will be equal to the value
of the First Cut Amount. The Sub Cut Amount is considered a
maximum depth of cut, as each cut depth will be averaged to not
exceed the Sub cut amount. When the Hit flats option is
selected, the hit flat level is added, then the next level is
calculated from this point.
Hit
Flats
When
this option is selected, additional cuts are inserted in the
toolpath at a Z location equal to the Allowance above any flat face
between the top and bottom of the model. These flat faces may define
ledges or island tops. By default, Exact method creates a Z cut
level at the Allowance above the top of the model and the Allowance
above the lowest flat face in the model.
Improved!
Rough Cut Cycle – Additional Core/Cavity Cutting Options
The
Core, Cavity Below Surface and Cavity to Surface options on the
Surface tab in the Set Operation – Rough Cut Properties dialog box
determine how ProCAM machines the selected surfaces. The following
options can be used with to further define the cutting conditions.
With
Cavity
This
option is enabled when Core is selected and provides additional
control to selectively machine specific areas on the part. The
affect of the With cavity option on the tool path depends on the
shape of the part.
When
With cavity is selected, the resulting tool path machines around
the perimeter of the part, all bosses and all pockets.
When
With cavity is not selected, any tool paths within a cavity area
are automatically removed from the final tool path. This
includes boss areas within the cavity.
Run
Face Cycle
This
option is available for the Cavity Below Surface and Cavity to
Surface options.
When
this option is selected, the material above the cavity is
cut to the extents of the stock.
When
not selected, the material above the cavity is cut within
the limits of the cavity silhouette.
Improved!
Curve Cut – Machining Depth Control
The
No. of Cuts option on the Curve Cut tab in the Set Operation –
Curve Cut Properties dialog box can be used when you want to take
multiple cuts in the Z axis rather than one single cut to depth.
When this option is selected, ProCAM makes the specified number of
cuts in the X,Y plane stepping down in the Z axis.
Improved!
Free Form Cut – Machining Depth Control
The
No. of Cuts option on the Free Form tab in the Set Operation –
Free Form Properties dialog box can be used when you want to take
multiple cuts in the Z axis rather than one single cut to depth.
When this option is selected, ProCAM makes the specified number of
cuts in the X,Y plane stepping down in the Z axis.
New!
Support for 3D Projection Surface Drilling
When
you define the parameters for a Drill cycle in the Set Operation -
Drill Properties dialog box, there is a new mode for inserting drill
locations. With this method, you use a surface to define the Z face
and specify the absolute Z depth. When you pick a surface for the Z
face, ProCAM projects points onto the surface to generate the tool
paths and drills to the specified Z Depth.
Isometric View
Front View
New!
NURBS Leadin/Leadout for UV and Slice Cut Cycles
The
Leadin/Out tab in the Set Operation dialog box for UV and Slice
Cut cycles provides a new method for controlling the start and end
of the toolpath.
NURBS
Leadin
NURBS
Leadout
The
tool rapids in the Z axis from the rapid plane to the
clearance plane, then feeds along creating a smooth
transition from the start of the clearance plane to a
point tangent to the surface at the start of the toolpath.
The distance from the start of the leadin and the start of
the toolpath is equal to the leadin amount and is tangent
to the surface.
At
the end of a cut cycle, the tool feeds out tangent to the
surface and creates a smooth transition to the clearance
plane, then rapids in the Z axis to the rapid plane. The
distance from the end of the toolpath to the end of the
leadout is equal to the leadout amount and is tangent to
the surface.
Simulation
New!
Keep the ProVerify Window Open When Editing Operations
When
you start ProVerify, two tabs display at the bottom of the
simulation window. When you click the first tab, the original part
displays in the work area. When you click the second tab, the
simulation window displays.
Keeping
the simulation window open can significantly decrease the time
spent when you make changes to an operation and you want to verify
the updated toolpaths.
You
do not have to display the original part in order to edit an
operation; however, you may want to see the updated toolpaths when
you rerun an operation.
Note
that if your operating system is Windows 98, these tabs do not
display. In order to edit an operation, close ProVerify, make the
changes and rerun the operations, then restart ProVerify to view
the changes.

Update Simulation Option
The Update Simulation button on the ProVerify toolbar is activated
if you edit an operation when the simulation window is open. When
you make changes and rerun an operation, you must click this
button first before the changes are applied to the simulation
window.
This
option is not available under Windows 98.

Method to Define Stock
When you define Stock, a Two-point definition modifier allows you
to pick a point for the top of the stock and a point for the
bottom of the stock.

Have you ever noticed the ever-expanding collection of icons on Facebook? The original forms, designed by Aaron Sittig, needed to be re-imagined for larger formats and a broader range of uses.
Ben Barry, a communication designer at Facebook, took on the task of expanding the collection, while maintaining the integrity and feel of the original icons and introducing the right balance of detail.
