For the wire guys and gals using X6...lead question

[mikeqes]

Hi everyone,

I have been using X6 to program my Charmilles for a few weeks now and

I have just run into problems with my lead outs between passes.

In all the versions of Mastercam I have used (X4 was the latest one)

it never mattered what direction you chained an entity,or if you chained

multiple entity in different directions it always chose the correct direction

to lead out between passes (according to the wire comp I presume)so you did not

gouge your part. I am finding in X6, if entity's are chained in different

directions,(circles in my case) the lead out will be incorrect and gouge the part on the entity's

that are chained in a different direction then the 1st chained entity was.

I have been told the solution is to chain all the entity's in the same direction

but I have never had to do this before. Sometimes you need to chain in different

directions because of the shape of the part. I still have access to X4 and no matter

what I do, I can not get it to lead out in the wrong direction. I don't know

why this would change with X6.

 

I am running X6 64 bit.

Anyone else run into this?

 

Thanks Mike

This was a bug that seems to fixed with X6 MU1.

This was a bug that seems to fixed with X6 MU1.

 

I was hoping MU1 would fix it, but it seems still to be there.

I received a reply from CNC and they acknowledged the bug and

gave me defect number for it. Look's like I might have to back track

to X4 since X6 does not really offer any advantages for wire as far

as I can tell and i dont want to miss a bad lead out and scrap a part.

That's the same reason I'm sticking with X4.
