V9 questions

[kwolf]

Hi ,

The questions are regarding V9.

It seems there's a new feature in Tool Center Boundary with which you can shrink/enlarge your TCB by some distance.

But one of my friend told me that if you select more than one chain , the software ignores all the boundaries.

Is it right? If so is there any patch to download?

 

I have some questions about V9 since my boss have not upgraded it yet.

Is it possible in V9 to design assemblies? Or import assemblies from SolidWorks or any other CAD?

Is it possible in V9 to have a solid that has some faces selected as drive faces and some faces selected as check faces?

 

Thanks.

Can you design assembless I would you can make sevral parts in the same space.

 

Now can you bring in a Solidwork assemble that contains more then one Solid you bet.

Thanks ,

Forgot to mention , he selected compensate inside/outside with multiple chains.

Will you please check with compensate?

Thanks

[cadcam]

Are you saying he pick at one time inside & out side or diffrent ops and the same geo but one was inside the other was out side?

[cadcam]

Well I tried the First one with inner & outer bounder conter line. worked great.

 

Now i went back and same two boundrys with comp of .05 tried inside or outside both worked great.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jay.

He selected 2 chains in parallel finish and selected compensate inside/outside all chains with 1 mm.

Thanks

Will you upload a sample for me to show him?

Sorry for inconvenience.

Thanks

[cadcam]

you will fine this in the MC9_files folder,this called kwolftest.mc9

 

by the way i did this in stanterd but V9 will bring it in that way even if you are in metric.

Hi ,

I sent your file to my friend . He told me if you select two separate boundaries , not two nested boundaries, you get wrong result.

Thanks

[cadcam]

So he is saying that you cant say fin parrail pick 2 diffrent boundrys and have the tool stay in those two boundrys with one tool path?

 

You mean ,you can't do This?

 

This how i did this. one path two diffrent boundrys.

He must be talking about offset boundrys.

because the two diffrent boundrys ,you can do this in 8.1.1

 

I have to agree that does not work that I can tell if you try to offset them in or out.

 

But TCB does great.

 

Ok I am done ranting.

Soooo, correct me if I'm wrong:

"He can not select 2 separate boundaries with compensate inside or outside in parallel finish" , ok?

And to my surprise he told me that he could not use such a thing in ANY OTHER OPERATIONS not only for parallel finish.

Thanks

So far you are not wrong.

That does seem to be the case at this time.

But TCB does work fork for the other just not inside or outside.
