Lathe Groove

[K2csq7]

X5, I go into rough parameters tab, try to change the "retraction moves" at feedrate to a different feedrate and it won't stick...doesn't even make the op dirty. Go back in and it is back to .010.

Tried Tab and enter... nothing, if I switch to rapid, it sticks, but I can't change the feedrate, anyone run into this?

[Mr. Wizzard]

Just tried it here. Same thing happens. I guess it's fine, if you only want .010 for your feed rate and nothing else. I dunno what's up with that.

Honest and straighforward. I love it!

We go from "hosed" to "REALLY STRANGE"...

 

 

Hi Keith,

 

I was messing around with this issue and I found a workaround, but it’s REALLY STRANGE.

 

Change the setting to feedrate, enter your desired retract feedrate, then click on the “Groove finish parameters” tab, then go back to the Groove rough parameters, then Green check out.

 

It doesn’t matter if you press Enter, or Tab, or just go into the Finish parameters, All is well.

 

Here’s the STRANGE part.

 

If you change the feedrate and the instead of going into the Finish parameters, go into the” Groove shape parameters”, IT WILL NOT WORK.

 

Anyway development knows about it, so it’s now in their hands.

It works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Rob for not just pushing it to the side.

[Mr. Wizzard]

Thanks for posting the "fix". Congrats to Rob for figuring it out, not sure how you even think of doing that to get it to work, but thanks

Why do we always need a work around for Master Cam. You would think that what is being paid for Yearly Maintainence that we would get a version that works at least 99.999999% All these workarounds do is slow your production down.
