[Guest]

Maybe you can talk RandleXXX into joining you?

[Hardmill]

Ya know it would be easier to just ask for help.

 

 

PEACE

BTW it works here,

 

 

got rid of that bug

[tooljockey]

First let me say that I am a devoted MC user, but, and this is strictly "off the record", one of the leading CNC machine manufacturers application engineers told me recently that he prefers Unigraphics or DelCam to achieve optimum results when hi-speed machining.

 

Anyone here tried those UN-user friendly systems?

[Fig sign]

Surfcam is free from BUgs ?

Name me one program free from bugs .

[George Hardwick]

Bad workman and tools springs to mind!!!!

Lot of good this forum is. Try to talk about a frustrating bug and all you get is FLAMED!

Do something constuctive.

Document it in repeatable steps and email it

to qc at mastecam dot com.

 

Threatening to switch over to The Dark Side is not " talking about a bug".. Its walking around

with a 'Kick Me" sign on your back.

TK,

you did the flaming! You did not ask for help or confirmation. You went straight to "into Surfcam. "

 

My guess is that you are beyond help.

[J Coulston]

Select all -> all entities -> check points -> green check mark -> Change entity level with copy selected.

You asked to be flamed, why are you suprised.

It's not a bug,...it works,

[TKDBB]

Mr. Coulston,

 

A: I did not ASK to be flamed. Narrow minded people on this board did that of their own free will.

 

B: The level change procedure you outlined is exactly what I performed. As I stated in the begining, it not only copied the points I wanted but also several hundred surfaces from various turned off levels. That is what I would like an answer for.

[smokey_44]

I Have tried this over and over with surfaces and points and all kids of stuff and everything works here ok ....it was a bit funky getting used to the new selection commands but it works

 

 

Dave ....Its not a bug your doing something wrong

I have had this happen to me. I sent it in,

but QC could not replicate it.

Translate/Mirror/Offset etc a bunch of surfaces,

then do something with the points, maybe it will bite you maybe it won't.

 

It doesn't do it any more though

 

gcode-- teh beta testing SP1

 

even it it did, Surfscam is out of the question

[Code_Breaker]

try StupidCAM

 

oops . . .I mean SmartCAM

only frustrating bug I know of is STORKMAN

 

 

[gcode]

I believe the explaination for this problem can be found in the Help section/"Working with Groups"

quote:

---

Note: Mastercam considers the result of a function a special type of group. When you perform a transform function (e.g., mirroring, rotating, scaling, offsetting, translating, stretching, rolling, etc.), Mastercam creates a temporary group from the original entities and a result from the transformed entities. System-generated groups appear in the Groups Manager dialog box along with any groups that you create. However, the system group and system result stay in effect only until you use the Screen, Clear Colors option or perform another transform function

---

A possible work around may be to go to Groups

( in the lower right corner) and delete the

"special gtoups" creted when the surfaces are Xformed. It seems to me that these special groups are incorrectly remaining selected.

Funny how we get you did this:

Hum seems your pissed and only you in this world can be pissed and only you in this world can have an opinion and a good old fu?k you to the rest of us if did not like the way you unprofessional presented yourself. Guess what go screaming and kicking into your bosses office and see if he puts up with it or go to the BAR or anywhere else and go screaming and kicking and see what type of response you get.

 

Now go in there and say hey I got this problem has anyone seen this or been able to copy this and see the response you get. You came in here hositle (dumba$$ surfcam remark)also Topic DAMN X BUGS you got hostile. You want civil how about you act according. Man fell like I am talking to my kids.

 

Have a nice day.

[Pete Rimkus from CNC Software Inc.]

Gcode,

Screen/ClearColors will do the same thing. and...

when you say "It doesn't do it any more though" does that mean that it looks to you like SP1 has fixed it?

 

TKDBB,

Please send a part file and detailed play-by-play ([email protected]). If it's really a bug I'll pass it along to QC, then it'll get logged and scheduled. If not, I'll try to let you know why you're seeing what you're seeing

Dont recall you askin for any help bud.

I may be narrow minded, but it works for me. Again

just ask for help.

 

 

PEACE

[George Hardwick]

Before you start ensure that you do not have any entities selected, if you do press the unselect button.right click on levels,select your points by either clicking on them or select all entities ,points. press green end selection button,change levels dialog box opens, choose move/copy ,select main or number level, press green tick (OK) job done.

Thants how it works for me.

[Bill]

I have had the same thing he's speaking of and I think Gcode was right in regards to my issue. I had translated a bunch of stuff and and I didn't realize it was selected... didn't show it as selected, but it did change levels when I tried to change levels of a few surfaces.

 

Guess I will have to make sure clear screen after translations.

 

Thanks Guys, I thought it was me.

You come to the MASTERCAM FORUM and say this.

Not a smart idea to let the boss know that all the money he spent is being wasted on a Hothead that doesn't seem to know anything. You get a little flamethrower

And then your oh so brilliant reply.

Look in the mirror.

What did you really expect ? Sounds as if the problem is between the Keyboard and the Chair.
