update utility & translate Q

[Mike@Dive Lab Inc.]

Hey guys, a few questions

 

first, how do I get the axis lines to display on the screen

 

second, I was going to update to mr2 and when I use the update utility it does not offer mr2, my maintenance is current.

 

third, I am trying to use xform translate from and to with no luck. no matter what I do the part will only move in the X + or - direction, I thought I've used it many times with no problem

 

thanks for the help

axis lines F9

 

update Mastercam.com X mr2 download

 

translate, what are you trying and what's it doing?

I am trying to move the part to 0,0, For lathe 2nd op I usually flip and move the part and give it a separate 2nd op file name instead of doing a stock flip in the operations. Now I can't get it to 0, when I select all and do a move from point to point it only moves in the x direction I need it to move in x and z. What I need to do is take the time and learn to use the WCS properly instead of using translate.

 

thanks for the help

sorry, I can't be of assistance with lathe.

Click on your 2d icon in the bottom toolbar. It will turn to 3d. Keep an eye on that 2d/3d switch. Funny things happen when you're in the wrong mode.

Hi Tim, I noticed that and tried both 2/3d time and time again. I just updated to mr2 and it worked perfect the first time.

 

thanks everyone
