Verify

[Greg Williams]

Hi,

 

I am currently using V9 SP1. Is it possible to change the size of the pixels when zooming in on the verifed part, I have machined some small rads and when I zoom in the part looks like a Hexagon not a Radius. The display control is set to full quality using true solid in turbo mode. Any Ideas.

Try clicking on the magnifing glass icon on the verify toolbar. I think it is called "accurate zoom" or something like that...

Hi Mark,

 

I tried that, the resolution is better after clicking that button, but still not good enough.

This part is a (metric) 0.55 rad 0.55 deep in a mould cavity that is cut with a 0.152 ballnose cutter

I think it is some sort of eyesight test!

Ah,

 

No takers for this one!

I think at best, you'll get .001 (Inches) resolution out of it. Sounds like you're doing something that requires you to check the thing under a microscope.

 

Moving the quality slider is the only way I have found to keep radii from looking like allen heads.

James,

 

Thanks for your reply, your spot on again, yes I do check it under a Microscope and this other dandy non contact measuring thing we have called a Smartscope. It's quite amazing what you can see and measure at 800 to 1 Magnification. I guess that I have reached the limitations of Mastercams verify so I perhaps need to take a look at something else maybe Predator or Vericut. Has anyone else tried doing something like this with any of the verification products that are currently out there? Thanks in advance

I got a good look at Metacut at the annual dealer conference and was EXTREMELY impressed with it's speed, functionality and quality. He verified a 1G NC file in a few minutes, the quality was great.

 

Metacut is a lot more than a verifier, it really does help you analyze your 3D toolpaths in a way I've never seen anywhere else. Good stuff, good price.

Budgie, send me the file I will show you what you can see in the Predator.

 

I will Varify and zoom in on the fillet.

Jay,

 

I am not allowed to send the actual file, but I will construct something similar and forward that to you. Thanks for the help
