Hi I was wondering where I can change this The German wording at the top of the page not that there is anything wrong with German I just don't know how to read it!     Thanks for your help

The rest of the page comes out in English. I guess I worded the post wrong. I want to put my logo up on top.  Thanks.

[Reko]

Replace the logo.png file to any picture you like. The logo.png file should be located in the mcamx directory.

You should open the logo.png in that directory to be certain this is the file you are replacing.

Hi Guys,
I have downloaded the X+ but I cannot get it to work. Am I missing something in the set-up or config file
to make it work? I don't remember having this problem before in X4. When I click on set-up sheet in toolpath manager
nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated, we love this set-up sheet!

I did that and I get a square box.....not my company logo....

Worked on X4 no problem ...

[Reko]

Columbo,

I have Windows 7 and I placed the logo.png file here?

C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx5

Also, my logo is 194 x 167. Could the size of your logo be the problem?

I didn't have any problems so I'm just trying to come up with some things for you to try.

Henry, I presume your files are on a network? I don't get the pictures when posting a network file. Locally it works fine.

Is there a way to stop it from rounding. I have a .1875 radius, it outputs .19

This Question comes up all the time.....The number of decimal places comes from the Windows enviorment - you need to go to lang. setting and change it there.

Not sure what I've got here
I downloaded and have the X+ folder in the shared mcamx5 folder
but it isn't showing up in my toolbar states.
The X+ folder has a slew of stuff, 8 .dll, 10 XSS, a png folder, etc
I clicked on a "MakeToolBar" application in there, nota
I tried to re-download but got a mess of errors in German so I don't know what
that was about.
Re-Booted..?
Running Win XP BTW
Any clues to what I messed up??
Thanks

I found one issue with the Setup Sheet.  When using raster, parallel, or blend toolpaths, the "cycle time" is dramatically inaccurate.  For example.  I created a raster path at a 90 degree machining angle which back plotted at 4 minutes and the setup sheet reflected the same cycle time.  I changed the machining angle to 0 degrees, the path back plotted at 4 minutes but the setup sheet stated 1-hour and 8 minutes.  Maybe there is a setting on my end that needs to be tweaked.  Anyone else see this?

[Günther Massimo - GMCCS]

It looks like all files are installed except the x+.ft which should be located in mcamx5\chooks\.
I am not sure what could cause the error.
MakeToolbar.exe is supposed to create the X+ toolbar in Mastercam and also create the X+.ft file in mcamx5\chooks\.

You can try to do it manual.
There is a template of the X+.ft file in %public%\documents\my mcamx5\x+\ called "X+.ft_".
Copy the file to the chooks folder and rename it to X+.ft.
Then you have to edit the file. Rename all the "@shared_x5" to the correct path of your public mcamx5 folder.
I.e.: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx5"

Before:

APPLICATION "X+"
FUNC_DLL "@shared_x5\X+\X+.dll"
RES_DLL "@shared_x5\X+\lang.dll"
CATEGORY "X+"
FUNCTION CPP "FlipGradientBG"
    SBMP 18000
    LBMP 18001
    TIP  5
END_FUNCTION
...


After:

APPLICATION "X+"
FUNC_DLL "C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx5\X+\X+.dll"
RES_DLL "C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx5\X+\lang.dll"
CATEGORY "X+"
FUNCTION CPP "FlipGradientBG"
    SBMP 18000
    LBMP 18001
    TIP  5
END_FUNCTION
...


After that you can create the X+ toolbar in Mastercam.

peon, can I have the file?

Here is the file Gunther.  Toolpath operations #1 and #2 reflect the correct cycle time.  Toolpath #3 is inaccurate.  Thank you for looking.  I love this setup sheet!!!
