Holder.MCX

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

I have just tried to change my file in the Mill/Tools folder to a custom defined 'mill head'. I used this file in X2 (didnt get around to it for X3) and it worked great. Gave me a great view of clearance angles and so on.

 

I bring this file into X4, save in the appropriate spot and I get no change. Restart MC and still nota.

 

Did something get altered that this no longer works or am I doing somethign wrong?

Not sure of your specifics, but, we use the holder.mcx file to define the machine's spindle. We have ran into conversion issues. If this is what you are talking about, try openning the native holder file from the latest version and re-draw it and save. You do have to make sure it is the "thinnest" line setting, the correct level, and is analyzed as a complete chain. Also it doesn't seem to like radii at the top (Y+) to end the chain.

Side note, we always copy and re-name the holder file as "original" to have as a reference.
