X2 MR1

[crazy^millman]

kota STFU. Go get something in which you really understand like a children's book or something I am sure that is above your reading level, but humor us all just crawl back in your shell.

 

Doing 5 axis Mill/Turn on an Integrex 410 and doing plenty of Boeing work as well as others with Mastercam. Yeah I know you have the better all power or whatever you are using. When you can make intelligent conversation with the rest of us verse being a ignorant arse let us know till then I Will repeat it STFU!!!!

 

JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED IT THE 3 OTHER TIMES!!!!

I'll try to take the support for kota offline.

 

I've asked that he contact our tech support office so that we can look into his post issues.

I still think MR1 is vaporware...

[TMozzone]

Is it soup yet?

[rdshear]

I couldn't help but notice in the survey, they asked what version we are running and X2 - MR1 was an option.

 

Why must they tease us..

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

What survey? Why didn't I get one?!?!?!?!

[ToolMan184]

Yeah, and it sounds like now we gonna have to pay for any documentation if you want hard copies. It seems like thats the direction we are headed in.

[Colin Gilchrist]

That is why they are doing a survey guys. CNC Software has always sold additional copies of their V9 Mill tutorial and it was worth every penny. Please take a moment to fill out the survey and ask CNC to update the old V9 mill tutorials. These were very well done and extremely useful for training.

Colin,

 

I agree, I think the tutorial book would be a better thing than the reference book, if I had to choose between one or the other.

[Colin Gilchrist]

The nice thing about the Version 9 tutorials is that it taught you Mastercam as you went, not trying to sit and read a whole chapter on something makes it easier on the learner. The tutorials in the V9 books also took the average programmer all the way through full 3D surface machining. This was a great way to teach anyone who was new to Mastercam.

 

The only thing that might actually be better than a physical book would be some video tutorials with the same lessons from the V9 book.

 

Some really good example videos covering Surface Rough Pocket, Surface Rough Parallel, Surface Rough Contour and Surface Rough Restmill would be great.

 

For finishing, Parallel, Flowline, Blend, and contour.

 

It would be really nice if CNC could find a part that would need multiple toolpath operations to complete (a nice mix of 2D and 3D machining) and multiple setups on a 3 axis mill. Then there could be videos showing how the part is programmed from start to finish. The point of the tutorial would be to show how to create the toolpaths, but it would also highlight some of the other functionality in Mastercam.

 

Another idea would be to do a V9 to X Transition Video. Take a fairly simple part from V9 and go through the entire part in X showing how you do things differently in X from V9. Things like, Changing colors/levels, Selection options, the new keyboard shortcut commands, ribbon bar shortcuts, the posting process, using the help menu, ect.

 

That might really help all the people who still haven't upgraded to the latest and greatest.

A big +1 to that!

 

Hand the new guy a copy of Demo, the tutorial and tell him to take it home and do them all. It's a great starter for someone learning MC or CAD/CAM for the first time.

I love being a beta tester. Get on board with the program. Nothing like having your toys earlier than the other boys.

I have asked about it

I think that the best tutorial I have ever used is in Solidworks.

 

Their online tutorial opens in the right 1/4 of the screen leaving Solidworks in the other 3/4. Then as you go through the tutorials in the right you actually complete them step by step in Solidworks. It couldn't be any easier to learn the basics.

 

I would love to see that kind of tutorial for MCX.
