I really wish that there was a bug fix list that came with these things.

How about a list of bugs that have been identified but NOT fixed...

So we know what to watch out for instead of having to find out the hard way...

[Mic6]

Let me know how it goes.

[RaiderX]

I thought that is what this forum is for.. lol

[mig]

I don't see any opinions so far

[gcode]

I've been running it for months.. go for it....

 

 

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

I've been running it EXCLUSIVELY for months. It's fine.

Thank you

[gavetta]

Is it an "over the top" install or a "start the freak over" install

I'm waiting to see what others say first

[gcode]

If X5 is not installed, you must install X5 first then install MU1

If X5 is already installed, just run the MU1 install.

If you uninstall MU1, it will take X5 with it and you will need to reinstall X5

Thanks G, all I needed to know....guess I'll hit the button and dive uner the desk

Not to beat the dead horse....well OK to beat the dead horse. It looks like the lathe package is once front and foremost in Mastercam's development department.

 

Thanks for making it easier and easier to go to the boss and explain why maintenance is a good use of company money.

 

The silence from lather is deafening.

 

Mastercam X5 MU1 is Released Mastercam X5 MU1 is out! This maintenance update is available at no charge to all current Mastercam maintenance customers, and can be downloaded here.

 

The updates and new tools available in Mastercam X5 MU1 include:

 

Mill:

 

• Enhanced gouge checking and containment options for 3D HST toolpaths.
• Improved Curve 5-axis and Swarf 5-axis cutting, allowing overlap.
• Faster Mill tree-style dialog performance.

Router:

 

• Drag and drop parts from one sheet to another during geometry or toolpath nesting.
• Output block drilling parameters for easy use on setup sheets and with certain point-to-point routers.

Wire:

 

• Enhanced 4-axis Direct wirepath accommodates a new suite of geometry and outputs even smoother motion.
• Added options give you even more precision tab control.

CAD Tools:

 

• Updated file translators for ACIS, CATIA, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Unigraphics, and Rhino.
• Easier surface curve selection and solid layout functions.

I don't know why they are not listed on the Press Release, but the What's New PDF

has 25 pages of new lathe enhancements... nothing ground breaking, but they are worthwhile

incremental upgrades

Where is this whats new pdf you have gcode? Im running mu1 now and there is absolutely nothing on what was FIXED with mu1 (in any module).

It does however list the stuff they released with x5 and a small section they pasted in with the enhancements in mu1.

[gcode]

You should be able to launch it from Help/What's New

 

All the pdf's are in

C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx5\documentation

 

CNC Software does not provide a fixed bug list..

Occasionally, the beta sites will get one, but they are never released to

the public.

Perhaps the 25 pages I mentioned refered to X5 not X5 MU1.. I didn't look that close..

[gms1]

They used to provide a fixed bug list and that was really nice.
