New PointCloud chook for Mastercam

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Ernie... 'bout 5 years late on X eh???

[Verisurf - Ernie Husted]

We have the Surface Patch part of Pointcloud done for X2, here is the install.

 

Verisurf_X2mr1.exe

 

It also has the latest HoleAxis chook and some other usefull tools. try the new Hidden Line chook, its for hidding the wireframe of surface models.

 

P.S.

Their is a setting to turn off the Verisurf watermark. see if you can find it.

James,

 

Better late then never

 

Ernie

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Yep!

 

Oh, I found the way to turn it off. Took 5 minutes... I went through the registry first, then through the *.dll using resource hacker, then I found it using the route I should have used in the first place.

Ernie,

 

Thanks for the C Hook, Unfortunatly the MBD does not work for me.

 

It instantly crashes Mastercam to the desktop every time Including the Sample parts

 

I am using X2 MR1 with Metric Default

[Verisurf - Ernie Husted]

Greg

 

I tried it in Metric, MBD works for me. at what point is it crashing?

Boy do I wish I had X2 MR1

 

Stuck at X2

[cadcam]

This great Ernie looking forward to playing.

[Thee Rickster ™]

Is there any chance that Verisurf_X2mr1.exe

will work in X2sp1?

 

Thanks

Rick

MBD crashes for me too on a Native CATIA file I brought in. The exact steps to create the crash are as follows,

 

File, Open, (select file type from drop down - CATIA V5), select file, wait for read to complete. Click MBD tab. Click create Datum Plane (it prompts me to select a plane), I select a solid face, it hesitates for a few seconds, then kicks me out of Mastercam. I get the Mastercam error reporting box.

 

HTH

 

HP Pavillion zd7000

P-IV 3.2 GHz w/ HT

1GB RAM

NVidia GoFX5200 w/ 64MB Video @1440 x 900 Res. @ 32Bit Color Depth.

 

X2 MR1, with X+ add-on.

So Ernie when do you expect to have the complete Verisurf done in X. We just got this and I feel like I took a few year step backward in time trying to go through the V9 interface then trying to come back X2 to program then back to V9 to learn Verisurf. I know you guys are working on it, but any idea on a time line? Also I Beta Mastercam would not mine Beta Testing Verisurf if it would help.

It will work Rick.

[Greg Williams]

File,

Open,

select MCX file with MCX solid, wait for read to complete.

Click MBD tab. Click create Datum Plane or any other function,

I select a solid face,

it hesitates for a few seconds, then kicks me out of Mastercam.

I get the Mastercam error reporting box.

Thanks Glen

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Yep,

 

I get the same thing too Greg. I sent a file and the procedure to repeat Ernie.

 

No reply yet. Musta been right.

 

I know when I send something to CNC and I'm not the idiot... it takes a while to get the reply. My guess is it's making the rounds through QC and they have to make sure I'm not seeing things.

[Todd Tracey from Fastech]

I'm thinking Ernie and Scott must ne somewhere?? Sent them a couple of e-mails w/o response which is unusual.

[Greg Williams]

James,

 

Can you check the file that you were testing this C Hook with

 

I did my testing on the same file - That file is now corrupt in some way. I can open it but as soon as I try to do something Mastercam kicks me out

 

I then get the Mastercam error reporting box.

[Verisurf - Ernie Husted]

Sorry about the delay, just got back from big show in Reno , no time to check emails.

The only thing I know that needs MR1 is UGRead, everything else should work.

MBD doesn’t support Solids yet. We are waiting on CNC to give us the face IDs so we can assign tolerances to the faces.

 

MBD should work with Surfaces and wireframe geometry. The Catia V5 Read from Moldplus will support FTA to MBD next month.

[Qmp]

Please, Explain what is MDB mean ?

 

Thanks

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Model Based Definition I believe...

[Qmp]

Thanks

 

I tried MBD and crashes for me too

[Verisurf - Ernie Husted]

James is correct.

 

Model Based Definition is needed for CAM, mainly Computer-Aided Inspection, also the key component to the elimination of paper drawings.

This saves time and trees.

 

MBD is a digital model with associated GD&T and other manufacturing details.

 

Boeing calls it Model Based Definition (MBD)

Catia calls it Functional Tolerance & Annotation (FTA)

 

Verisurf is using the Boeing terminology (MBD)
