I had to stop using X9 on some of the parts that we machine, due to some bugs that slowed me way down. I sent them to QC and they could reproduce them. I was liking X9 till I came across them. I could work around them, but X8 works grate on them. X9 fixed some of the bug that was in X8, so I'm using both for now. Hopping the next update takes care of some of the bugs so I can use X9 only.

How do I change the folder that the sheet is save in? It is defaulting to C:\Users\Public\Documents\T.htm.

Thanks for all of the info.

I have the Quadro 600 on my Windows XP machine and it is not working well with big files in verify. I am look at getting a new computer with windows 7. I need to get the best bang for the buck I know that a Quadro 2000 is not an option. An input on a computer under $1500 is welcomed.

Will the Geforce gtx 560 work better than Quadro 600 for Mastercam? This will be in a new computer running Windows 7.

Use caution if you are using live tooling. According to the paper work that came with our live tooling it cannot run for long periods of time at max RPM.

Crashed for me. James is the lucky One.

Rick I hope this fixes your problem keep us posted. I think it has fixed my stock to leave problem. I change the stock to leave to zero in all of the HS toolpaths. for now it is working.

CNC Apps, How do you handle different machines with the same default? I am running in to some problems using the same default for multiple machines.

+1000 I have had the stock to leave problem for years. I sent it into QC back in 2006. I am working on new operations for X6. I hope it fixes the problem.

Rick, I believe that my operations default is corrupt also. After talking with Rob at QC we narrowed it down to my operations default that has been imported for years.

I have this problem with ALL versions I am running of Mastercam X4 to X6. I sent this in to QC back in 2006 with X2. I hope that what I changed sticks. Only time will tell. All I know to do is keep sending them to QC.

Yes it will change when you reopen it. I have made some changes to the operation defaults that has helped, but I had to change it in all of the machines controls defs that used my operation defaults to get it to stick. If I just changed one machine control it would not stick.

Yes on sometimes. When I get this error the toolpath is not in the operation defaults that is set as default. Then it looks at the original operation defaults that has the stock to leave set at .05.
