What you expect from X7 ?

Paths stop going dirty from changing a feed or speed.

[gcode]

Just got home from a Mastercam Users Group/ X6 Rollout Seminar and I have news.

 

There will be an X6 MU2 which will mostly be more bug fixes.

I did not get an expected release date

IMO these bug fix only releases should be Service Packs, not MU's but I'll get off that soapbox.

 

the other news was slipped into a demo of Swiss Expert.

MMT will be released with X7, scheduled for the first quarter of next year. There were no further details

 

Before someone shoots the messenger, these are not beta secrets or rumors.

This is straight from the horse's mouth, spoken in public to a room with at least

60 Mastercam users.

+1000 couldn't agree more.

Basic toolpaths (like facing etc) to have a new tickbox to allow for a different finish step feedrate.

This has been said on here time and time again for a few years, so please can CNC do something about it

^^^^^^

+1 on this

[The Chipmaker]

+1 on the set up sheet.

[John Hill @ Poplar Hill Machine]

A commitment to apply as much time & resources to fixing existing bugs (some that go back many years) as they do creating new features in order to increase sales.

Or program number.

I'm surprised that my MU2 and MMT news has not been noticed...

It must have gotten lost in the clutter

[Newbeeee™]

G,

The MU2 is important to me. I STILL haven't got around to installing X6 as we have been maxed out.

Has any little birdie said when it will be released, 'cus if it's not long I'll wait out and do the instal then.

Now it's public knowledge, hopefully someone from CNC can say?

 

As for MMT - That would mean I'd have to go buy a mill turn...

Seriously though, I really hope there's been a ton of testing because CNC really doesn't want to release it with tooo many bugs. You know how bad news travels round here

Dang it Tom. I simply cannot believe these outlandish statements! Know we are going to have to the

 

 

 

Joking of course...

No g, it didn't get lost, we've heard this same song and dance before. With that said, I'm not buying the this time. When I can download it and use it and most importantly, get code from it I'll change my tune. Until then, it's vaporware and does not exist.

 

Just sayin'

[Jeremy Herron@DBS Solutions™]

I like vaporware. Jus sayin...

[Thee Rickster ™]

Finally James is on to something we all can agree on....LMAO!

 

J/K

 

Someone had already mentioned it a while back in a different thread after the bugs that weren't fixed

in the MU1 update. I believe a CNC rep was the one who stated it first G.

[Newbeeee™]

James,

Granted it sounds pretty remote, but you *might* have to go get one of those 10 gallon hats to eat IF MMT is released

I'm not eating anything. Wasn't this supposed to be out, oh, 10 years ago???

[gcode]

Its like a fine wine... it improves with age

Lets just hope it doesn't start with sour grapes.

LMAO uhhhhhh Aren't those the eyebrows seen from the top??? I guess this would be a good example of asking a Kid and an adult what do they see on the same pic.

 

What a man wants uh?? BB

 

LOL

Pull down menu in notes area in operation parameters for describing the same operation time after time after time?

[Rocketmachinist]

An value in 2d Dynamic Contour Mill where you can set a value for the minimum corner radius value for a finish pass. So I can finish a part with a .500 tool for the majority of the part but when I come up to the .125 inside radius, the tool will not bury itself into the corner and then move on. It to recognize the problem and arc around it leaving me room for a cleanup pass.

I must be missing something, because the way I interpret what you are wanting, 2D Dynamic Contour already does this.

When you click finish so you can get a clean continuous pass. It will run the tool into the corner and then make a 90 degree change in direction. If you don't click on finish it will make a larger corner radius but to get into that corner it will treat rough it just like the other roughing Dynamic tool paths.
