Bring back Version 9

[Thad]

Peter,

 

It sounds like it was broke in V9 and you got used to it. Now it's fixed and it seems wrong. I'm not faulting you for that. I do it too.

 

Say you have 2 lines that reside at Z-1. You're in 2D mode and have your Z construction depth set to Z0. You Create-Line Enpoints and select the endpoints of the lines at Z-1. The new line gets created at Z0. Does this seem right to you? Why?

I agree with Thad. (Did I say that really?? )

It works correctly now.

[Thad]

I sure love running Fadals!

carriopaul,

 

If you got access to MCX2, start using it. Don't look back. Sounds to me like you have a lot of V9 experience. That's good, it will help you make the transition more smoothly.

v9 mr*** more stable and in lot of cases faster.

Yeas, this(v9) is the past and

i am using x2 now . Make me sick sometimes.

[PeterM]

If it's fixed now I preferred it broken, when I offset geometry I am generally working in a plane, if I need those features at a different Z depth I translate that geometry. I live with it. I wouldn't go back to 9 unless I had to.

I've been using mastercam since 1989. They should have kept the same format they been using all from the beginning. It's quite a learning process how it's formatted now.

[cadcam]

camster1992 So they should of stated in Dos then?

I don't thing so.

[camster1992]

Nothing wrong with that. I get done with a program from v9 alot faster the x. Everyone I've talked will take V9 over X

[cadcam]

really that must be a hand full.for most people after making the jump do not want to go back and that is from over couple hundred customers of mine.

 

But if this how you feel. I can not tell you how you should feel, if any thing as like all people you should have your opinion correct.

[camster1992]

I'm not slamming X, it has it's positives and negatives. Maybe once i get used to it my view of X will change. Don't keep it in DOS but stay with the same Mastercam main page.

That must get lonely..

X was pretty buggy..

but X2_MR1 is sweet.. I wouldn't go back to V9 for a 25% raise.

Not to worry though.. they will continue to support V9 for 3 or 4 more years.

Even my old school supervisor is coming around to X2.. he actually said X2's WCS and Tool Plane's rocked.. You could have knocked me over with a feather

[DavidB]

It took me a while to come over to the dark side but I would not go back to V9. CNC are doing a great job and its heading in the right direction for what my maintance money is worth.

[Fig sign]

Recently I completly migrated to X2

Took me an effort

V9 for most of simple parts is still faster than

X2

Yet X2 is slowly only a bit

After I customized it ,well ,it is OK for me

But for huge projets ,lots of surfaces ,lots of toolpathes it is definetly better ,has more optiona and more stable .

You simply have no future with V9 ,even if it is better for you.

I do not like x2 concept of interface but I can get with it

In a couple of cases when I have no options to make something in X2 I still has v9 .

I am with you ,brothers and sisters V9 users ,but there is no other way .

You all will migrate to X in a year or two

WOW Alex, you finally migrated huh?

 

Good for you.

 

I know you are an exceptional V9 user, in time you will be an exceptional X user as well. Of that I am certain.

 

 

What's this V9 everyone is talking about?

Yes I have too. Never go back unless I have to.

It was just getting in the groove of the new X2 or just X for that matter. What click to expect next to do and so on.

 

Love it now. Looking into my own seat now.

Flipper did you get a hold of the seat over at JPL good hope Rob is taking care of you and Steve. Dang I need to Call Don Scudamore tomorrow and see how he is doing. He owes me a COLD one.

 

Camster1992, I did not thing in any way you were slamming it. I thing you feel it is better because you are use to it like allot of other’s and V9.1 mr105 rocked but so did 8.1.1 and I kicked but with 6.1a for mold making. Then there were good old 4.1 that rocked to for tooling.

 

It has been along journey for allot of us and glad to see the software and the people growing including me.

 

I know I will live and breathe MC for years past and years to come; it is the tool of choice for me.

Alex,

 

I'm curious what you have to do in V9 that can't be done in X2.

Yes thank you. That is why I am pursuing a machine as well. I was also looking into a machine at the time. They mentioned that it is easier to get the funding for the machine and MC then just MC. Check my thread in OT on Machine Purchase. A packaged deal if u will gonna have a few over once I put this together, and put a few cold ones back.
