HSMWorks CAM 2021.2.0 (Build 15.2.0.43820) - Date: 4 November 2020


The following changes have been made in the current update (2021.2):
Changes for General
- SolidWorks 2021 is supported with this update.
- The 'Send Feedback' item on the Help menu has been changed to 'Contact Support'. The new item now redirects you to the Autodesk 'Contact Support' site which offers various options for sending information to our Support teams. (#24491)
Changes for Milling
- Fixed an issue where the clearance distance for avoid surfaces in linking was not respected. (#22275)
- Fixed an issue that could result in a potential collision of the holder if the top of a 3D Adaptive Clearing operation was set below the top of the model. (#21665)
- Fixed an issue where 3D Adaptive Clearing could sometimes cause an internal error that stopped execution when holder protection was enabled. (#23845)
- Fixed an issue in which Adaptive Clearing could recut an area that had already been cut in some cases. (#3154)
- Fixed a problem with holder collision protection when selecting 'pull-away' for 3D Contour operations. This could cause the holder to collide with the model. (#22865)
- Enhanced the tool-axis movements for 5-axis Flow, which will now be smoother. (#20630)
Changes for Linking
- Fixed a problem where some linking moves did not respect the avoid surface clearance for Pencil and Constant Scallop toolpaths. (#23071)
- Relinking is now performed correctly when smoothing is enabled. (#21963)
- Fixed an issue where touch/avoid surfaces were not honored in trimmed toolpaths. (#22488)
- Improved arc leads on vertical walls. (#22637)
The following changes have been made in an earlier update (2021.1):
Changes for Milling
- Fixed an issue with lead-out gouging on a Flow operation in certain conditions. (#19918)
- When ordering "Outside to In" was selected in a Morphed Spiral operation, the resulting toolpath machined bottom to top as well as outside to in. This was corrected to that it will always machine top to bottom. (#17699)
- Improve the computation of raster zigzag links for Parallel operations so they are less likely to be rejected for no obvious reason. (#21652)
- Fixed an issue that caused a gouge in certain conditions when tangentially connecting linking moves for Contour operations. (#20316)
- Fixed an issue with several operation types that could cause a crash when Avoid surfaces were provided which were below the minimum Z. (#22060)
- Fixed an issue in which the Feed Height was incorrectly being raised when the vertical lead-in height was below the Feed Height on single pass contour operations ("Multiple Depths" and "Ramp" are disabled). (#19602)
- Fixed an issue that could occur in linking moves for a Spiral operation. (#18702)
The following changes have been made in an earlier update (2021):
Changes for Turning
- Fixed an issue in which simulation incorrectly showed a gouge for some turning toolpaths during simulation. (#18124)
Changes for Machine Definitions
- Fix a crash that could occur when exiting SolidWorks after working on a part with CAM data. (#20478)
Changes for Installation
- There are no longer separate installers for HSMWorks Premium/Ultimate 2021 and HSMWorks Fusion Entitlement 2021. Use the same installer for all three products. (#18341)
- Fixed an issue in which HSMWorks Premium could not be activated for certain license types after installing from the Autodesk Desktop Application. (#14359)
- Fixed an issue with the application installer that resulted in a duplicate listing of the product in the Windows "Programs and Features" utility. (#17943)
Changes for Distributed CAM
- The Distributed CAM functionality has been removed due to a combination of lack of use and maintenance issues. (#19938)
Changes for Posting
- HSMEdit has been updated to version 8.7.13. (#19729)
Autodesk HSM software bundle provides the best value in integrated CAM software available. Included are HSM add-ons for SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor. Integrated CAM helps CNC programmers, designers, and engineers rapidly produce machined parts in one seamless workflow, while maintaining model associativity for quick updates to part changes. Whether you are working with multiple CAD formats or starting from pencil sketches, Integrated CAM with your design software is the simplest and fastest way to machine your parts.
HSMWorks is designed from the ground up to work inside SolidWorks, providing a logical extension of the parametric SolidWorks assembly environment into the CAM world. Experienced SolidWorks users will feel right at home working with HSMWorks and will be able to create high-quality toolpaths within minutes. New users will benefit from the comprehensive 2D and 3D CAD capabilities of SolidWorks mechanical design solutions and quickly extend any knowledge gained to the CAM process, resulting in improved design quality and reduced product development time.
Overview of HSM- The Fully Integrated CAM Solution from Autodesk. CNC Programming right within Inventor, SOLIDWORKS and Fusion 360.






Autodesk helps people imagine, design and create a better world. Everyone-from design professionals, engineers and architects to digital artists, students and hobbyists-uses Autodesk software to unlock their creativity and solve important challenges.
