How to Use This Directory
• Select an article title to open the current published Knowledge Base article.
• Review the article's prerequisites and module, machine, service, or licensing dependencies before following its procedure.
• Validate regenerated toolpath, simulation, machine behavior, and posted output before applying a new capability to production work.
• Return to the linked Knowledge Base folder to see later revisions or additional GibbsCAM 2025 articles.
Troubleshooting
• Problem: An article link does not open.
Cause
• The Knowledge Base address changed or the article is temporarily unavailable.
• A browser, firewall, or network policy is blocking the Freshdesk site.
Resolution
Open the linked What's New in 2025 folder and select the article by title. If the folder is also unavailable, verify network access or contact CAMCO Support.
• Problem: A feature described in an article is not available in GibbsCAM.
Cause
• The installed version or build is not GibbsCAM 2025 or later.
• The feature requires a licensed module, compatible MDD, supported strategy, updated post, connected service, or specific geometry and selections.
Resolution
Confirm the installed build and licensed modules, then review the article's Before You Begin section. Test with a compatible configuration before changing production data.
• Problem: The article procedure does not match the current interface.
Cause
• A later GibbsCAM build or customized interface changes the command location.
• The active workspace, machine definition, process, selection, or connected service changes which controls appear.
Resolution
Use the named command or option rather than relying only on its position. Confirm the active setup and consult the article's Additional Information or contact CAMCO Support when the control remains unavailable.
