  1. I'm not sure in that logic in post. it is best to align machine. or to solve that on control parameters. in reality, I'm sure that there will be combination which that logic in post can't predict and it will go in wrong direction from what is in MC.
  2. I know something about that, but I need more data. is just resharpening, or custom geometry? some extra geometry, how many?? how many types?? etc...
  3. answer that I found is that you can't change it from Coordinates button. I doesn't update if you change it from some reason. so what I found that work is to copy or import similar Operation that you want to use and select Group name and select Change common parameters. from there you select desired WCS and it will update. then you need to adjust Operation a little bit. and then you are good. still faster then to make new one.
  4. hey thanks for help. I just found one way that works. so problem is solved, only needs some rework on OPs. I'm sorry, but I just wanted to say, if you know the answer and want to share it then write it. if you don't want to share it or you don't know answer that don't write what nobody asked you. is something wrong with that??
  5. I just hope that best MC users know better answer then "training, training, training" good night!
  6. nothing works so far. obviously it is not simple job that it should be, at least. please if somebody knows direct and full answer on simple question: how to change WCS in Operation that is, or imported or belongs to different part??? please only direct and full answers. No hints or stupid advises, please!!!!! I read enough here of two parrots that are repeating only two words reseller and training. Thanks!!
  7. so is that, that Right Click on desired WCS in Manager and >Import can do it?? well, im going to sleep, I'll check it tomorrow. enough for today!!
  8. well thank you for your try now, but it doesn't change it for me!!! if I ask question here! and if I say that dealer doesn't know, than I say it from reason. because I already tried all other options!!! So, I so far can't get Changing of WCS on Coordinate button. you can change Work Offset number as I see, but not much is happening there. WCS still stays how it was. there is only another TPlane. So I'm just interested how you can get it to change from Coordinate button.
  9. ha ha, I'm waiting if there will be somebody smarter!! yes I'm sure that you know answer ha ha!! what a joke. that you know it, you would answer it first time. sell that to somebody else ha ha.
  10. do you all here work like resellers??? I asked reseller and he didn't know if you are interested. so please don't waste server memory with writing about that!! why are you here pointing on things that nobody asked?? who are you guys??? once more: explicit question was "is it possible to change WCS of Operation if it is imported from external file, or it belongs to some other part"!!!!!!! clear and simple!!! please answer the question if you know direct answer!! I would really appreciate that. In a case that you don't know answer, thanks for reading and good night!!
  11. maybe stock helps you who don't have enough imagination so you need help for visualizing. for me its waste of time and it complicates everything. totally not needed tool. and I'm afraid that I can help to my reseller much more than he can help me in MC. but however as I see you said that it is easy to change WCS in lathe if OPs are imported or used from some other file. but I can't see your answer how!!! please don't go away from main subject!!
  12. no I prefer not to use stock. I found it much faster and simpler. only profile!! but can it work if operation is created in some other file?? not on that part??
  13. Hi, I just started to use Lathe in MC. I did a lot of milling in MC last years and Lathe before on other softwares. I can't hide my surprise how bad MC Lathe is in comparation with Mill. Toolpaths are good, only retraction direction is missing. but plane logic it terrible. why they don't just do what they have in mill?? but however. I have many different parts and many of them are very similar. In milling I would just have them in same file and just copy complete operation group and assign new WCS and geometry and I would be done. but in Lathe even if I copy my operations in the same file and want to machine back side in another setup it is impossible to change WCS of already created operation. so I guess that importing of operations in lathe has no any sense and can't work anyhow. or I'm missing something??? anybody knows how to change WCS of operation???
  14. settin to retract off doesn't work on my X5 as it goes to clerance. yes maybe there are ways to cheat, but I like smooth solutions. but thanks so far.
  15. thanks! than I need an update!!! but I cannot believe that they didn't have that in X5. that nobody didn't think about that so recently. I was in Surfcam before and I used this long time ago. but I don't complain against MC in general!!!
