Little things for next MR/SP

[Henk]

Here some (IMO) little things for the next MR/SP

No big 'Wishes', only little 'issues'

 

1. Every time i startup i have to stretch the open-window to an comfortable size, mcan remember that size during the session, but when i restart it,s gone.

 

 

2. In the transitions parameters I have set the “Entry feed rate” to “Feed rate”.

In my NC program the feed switches to plunge rate between each Z-level.

QC CNC Software on 2-1-2007:

I don’t know if it is a bug or not, It certainly sees like one. I logged it as defect # CNC 00026228 to let the programmers have a look at it.

Speaking of LITTLE things Keebler any Ideas for MR2?

 

How about fixing canned Rough and finish in lathe

[Ocean Lacky™]

How about Multi-passes on Waterline, Surface Contour toolpaths?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Isn't that the same as core roughing?

[Tim Johnson]

A couple more How abouts...

 

Some kind of verification that the files is saved. (or not changed since the last save)

 

Configuration on open/save-as file types. (I would prefer all files myself)

[doyleg]

how about a pocketing op that won't finish around inside boundries (through holes, pockets, islands, etc.) but still finish outer contour.

 

x2mr1 mill level1

solids

How about making the linking parameters for HST toolpaths available for 2 d toolpaths, Minimum retract, full retract, full feed or rapid options, etc.

How about a cold beer when I want one?

 

Did you ever get that one to work Pete?

[doyleg]

cold beer when you want one. isn't that what a wife is for - or better yet a girlfriend?

[JDowe]

Use RMB to lock a function to the MRU bar

 

Synchronize tool and c-planes to view sheets

 

Tolerance settting in select by Dia.

Sure, but some products stay in house for longer testing cycles than others...

A siren that goes off when high speed toolpath finishes regenerating. I tend to fall asleep after the first ten minutes...

Pete,

 

That Is Gold

 

But Seriously speaking when creating a new tool plane for multiaxis axis work can we just set the Z axis and leave the post to work out X and Y?

[Nils N]

The closet thing I have to a beer when I want one is the small cooler we have in the office, but if I filled it with beer...me tinhks the wrok wluod solw dwon

[35K chipper]

would like 20 misc integers and 20 misc. reals on two pages. one for integers and one for reals

How about a little monkey that pops up and shouts obscenities at you when you choose a bad cutting methodology.

 

Example:

What are you? Retarded?!?! That long tool is going to chatter and break if take that much axial cut!

We've already got that feature... its called a boss

I'd like to see more of V9 powerkeys implemented.

"A" for all

"C" for color

 

I know there is now quick mask but I find the keyboard quicker than moving the mouse around a wide srceen monitor.

[JDowe]

RMB to set only mask from quick mask menu

JDowe,

 

If you right-click on screen to see your RMB, and then select your Quick Mask option with your right mouse button, that activates your Only selection mode.

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

How about fixing the lathe chuck in the stock flip. I read thru and didn't see it in the 'what's new', and when I do verify on a stock flip my chuck still jumps back.

 

Not to be picky about the chuck thing, but how bout a better representation of a chuck instead of a big round mass that is suppose to represent the jaws? If verifying an entire machine is coming, surely verifying correct looking chucks/jaws should be easy...

 

+1000000 Don to fixing lathe canned rough/finish. Grrr!
