dynamic lead in/out (for jon)

[3R!< W3NG3R]

yes, that was why I thought it would be good for all to know (those who didn't already that is)

 

It is because of posts like this that I know so many tricks and time savers.

Even the Hatfields and the McCoys took thanksgiving off.

 

Spending thanksgiving bickering over lead in/lead out issues??

 

WoW

Mastercam has no concept of "Machining Markers".

 

Lead-In, Lead Out in Mastercam is usually created after Chaining has been done when you're in a machining Parameters dialog box.

 

Lead-In, Lead-Out should be done while you're Chaining not after and it shouldn't require the user to create geometry if you wish to add Lead-In, Lead-Out while you're initially Chaining.

Jarret, I had TG a month ago. So this is not a holiday for me. Who's bickering anyway?

[Jayson Kramer]

Eric you are correct by many means. it can do it and I NEVER make extra geo for a lead in lead out and always get the tool to start were I need.

Not directed at you eric (not a holiday here)

 

This stems from other threads where "these discussions" take place with neilj.

 

No software in the world is bug free or perfect, get over it already and make some Fuc*ing chips.

Jay, you are right. I have never had a problem with it and always got the lead in/out to look the way I want in no time at all.

The Dynamic Chaining option in Mastercam requires geometry to be added first for Lead-In and Lead out if you wish to add Lead-In, Lead-Out when you initially create the chain.

 

If you add Lead-In, Lead-Out in a machining Parameters dialog box you are adding Lead-In, Lead-Out after you have chained and this amounts to a waste of time. Even more time is wasted if you decide you need to edit your Lead-In, Lead-Out because there are no "Machining Markers" displayed on the screen which can be accessed at anytime without opening any dialog boxes.

Jarret, I think my sarcasm gets lost sometimes.

Lead in's and outs often times vary depending on other features and stock. You can have them default on and adjust to your tool size. I rarely have to move mine becuase I usually start the chain where I want it to lead in.

Yeah I have that problem too eric
