X2 wish list.

[RandleXX]

I have to admit MR2 has some really cool features. Still a couple of bugs though.

 

How about picking solid faces for advanced multiaxis toolpaths?

 

The darn configuration settings for verify (use last size) still wont "stick".

 

Overall, MR2 has made major inprovments in highspeed and multi-axis toolpaths.

 

GREAT WORK! CNC Inc.

There will be no MR3.. X2 is next

[Guest]

The big thing I would like to see as this moves forward is some normalization on the fila naming front.

 

X we had one way of doing it

X MR1, had a different way of doing it

X MR2, offers yet another way of file naming

 

I guess maybe just because I like to have my files named after my file name and then the op# I have had to adapt on all the changes.

 

I hope we have now finally arrived at what will continue to exist from here on.

 

Still waiting for those lockable tool #'s too

[bellyup]

you can thankfully lock ops from posting, but i would also like to see an option to lock them from backplotting as well, so you don't have to de-select them every time.

[s_r_yeoman]

I would just like the toolbar button to have the option of locking, since this is a wish list.

Locking what?

[s_r_yeoman]

the shortcut/toolbar button rows on the top of the screen. You can reload them if you mess them up, but it would be nice if they wouldn't shift after you set them up.

[Ocean Lacky™]

I'd like to have the option of moving the icons in Ops Manager so that ALL of them are on one row....can't tell ya how many times I've gone to turn a toolpath on or of and hit Regen by mistake! LOL

[thoskins]

How about when posting not having the "Not all operations for c:yourfile.mcx have selected for posting. Select All?" pop up everytime. how about making it a check box in the post processing configuration. Also I'd like to see a change to the scallop toolpath. I would like to have an option to have it work like a parallel path as well as what it does already. Kinda like a flowline path that actually works for more than just simple surfaces.

 

Oh and I would like the winning lottery numbers for next week too.....if thats not to much to ask

[Ashan]

I like to have contraction planes for default in control definition than configuration

And I wish to use ALL, IN, in Solid chaining also to print viewports

I'd like to be able to use MM in fast point mode.

I like the new re-sort button, but why not have it open the sort options if sorting is off and save a few clicks.

I don't understand your question. What is not working?

[MIL-TFP-41]

1- Make it a true multi-threading application. This is a must for perfomance with all the dual core processors coming out.

 

2- Make the level manager so when you turn levels on and off it shows on the screen "realtime" instead of closing the manager to see which entities turn off...make it like CadKey's manager in other words.

 

3- Gouge checking in the "basic" 5ax toopaths

 

4- 5ax verify that works....I am tired of seeing the tool go through the part when it should be the part rotating.

[Span]

In most input boxes you can input metric values (5mm) and it will convert to inch (.1969). In the fast point mode the mm is not recognized (5mm,1.2 will read as x5.0 y1.2 not x.1969 y1.2). I know I can input it as 5/25.4,1.2 but it would be nice if it were consistant.

[Steve Zirtzman]

SPAN,

I see what you mean, I had never tried the "mm" data entry shortcut in Fast Point mode.

[gcode]

Span,

you should write that up as an enhancement request

and send it to [email protected]. It is a good one

and I'm sure they will implement it

[Mick]

I would like to see trochoidal slot milling. I would make good use of that feature.

[Bruce Caulley]

Parametric modelling (Can't be too hard, Alibre is about $2k)

Assemblies (As above)

Holder library for ALL toolpaths (OneCNC does this well :flamesuit on:)

Stock, fixture, clamp recognition (We define one solid for verify, why not more than one?)

.

[Ken Erman from CNC Software Inc.]

Span - Hmmm, that one was a surprise. I'll check into it to get an estimate on development time.

 

(We aren't ignoring the other ideas either)

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

I'd like to be able to to map keys to toggle the stock display in the current group on and off.

At some point the solid modeling has got to be improved. I've been emailing QC about some of their downfalls. and it doesn't really seem like they get it.

 

ie. solidsremove face it should be able to remove a face and reconcile the solid to keep it closed. instead "Removes Face" makes it an open sheet body. No other system I've ever used does that. But the solution QC used was to turn in a request that parasolid translations use a history tree. You can't really have a history tree if the other system doesn't output a history, why not just fix the problem?

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

In the tool manager it would be nice to have under the right-click, SELECT ALL...

[Span]

Ken - You replied before I could get my formal request in, now that's service.

 

I'll second Micks trochoidal slot milling request.

 

thanks all

What do you think the new interface for ??

 

These guys can only work so fast??

 

 

PEACE

If that's what the new interface is far then that's great! But they don't tell us what's coming down the pipes and if I don't tell them what I need, I could be waiting for a long time for nothing.

 

Do you have information on new solid improvements that are coming?
