I had to put it on my wife's website as a zip file. Webby is working on a special upload section for us. Will keep you posted.

[Jayson Kramer]

You guys need to go to the notes on the main forum on how to use the FTP. Kevin just giving someone a the user and pass do not do it.

Creating another FTP seems silly I can create a folder for you guys.

[Rotary Ninja]

I was just sending you a text message Jay. Thank you!

[Jayson Kramer]

Your files were move to the folder called Mastercam Learning Group

[Jayson Kramer]

ok phone has not gone off yet/

[Rotary Ninja]

I was in the middle of typing it and refreshed and saw your reply so I stopped. Thanks for the folder Jay. That will make it easier. Where are these FTP notes you speak of?

 

I was just copying the link to the file from Filezilla and pasting it into the link on here. It was working for me and letting me download the file, but the files I uploaded to the FTP were 0 KB. I transferred them to my wife's site just fine. So I am not sure what I did wrong.

[Jayson Kramer]

FTP folder removed.

PS the X7 HLE takes about a month after the release of the new version. so you will not see it till June so you know.

[Jayson Kramer]

Ok so we cutting this in a vise for op 1 and opt 2?

[BOATDUDEGUY]

I still dont have the model

[Jayson Kramer]

pick his link he posted earlier and it will ask to download.

[Rotary Ninja]

I was leaving it up to everyone to decide how to hold it Jay. But yeah, that's the way I was going with it.

[RayD]

Done, took longer to Verify then to program...but i was lazy and didn't do the holes, figured you guys don't need to be shown how to drill

 

Kevin, maybe you should put some limitations, on each project, machine type, material, Starting Stock??, etc.

[Jayson Kramer]

So were we putting the files. I took a min and prepped for the vise.

Here it is but you have to turn on view sheets to make your life easier to see it.

I will tool path later need to get ready to relax with my better half.

 

Here is my file in a link. http://www.mastercam...ODEL-CADCAM.ZIP

[Rotary Ninja]

Would it be better if everyone sent them to me and I posted them all at the same time? Kinda make it so we see everyone's imagination at work?

 

But if you want to host them that is fine with me Jay. I just didn't want to bog up your FTP with this is why I suggested I host them. I guess we will figure it out. But I will leave it to everyone to decide.

[Rotary Ninja]

Ok, here is mine

 

Idler Bracket Programmed

 

There is a dynamic toolpath I ghosted that I decided not to use. I ran around the OD with the face mill instead which works for me.

Looks like a nice part Kevin. I will hopefully get onto it in the next few days...

 

Jay, Firstly, Thanks for posting that vice setup, dont have any vices/fixtures modelled at home so that will be handy! Is there still the option of using your ftp server to house these files? I think that would be the easiest route to follow if you are ok with it? There are a couple of other options that I have had brief thoughts about if we need to.

 

Side note...my parts are gonna be metric. We quite often deal with imperial components but program in metric, its what I'm familiar with so I think I'll use that at least for now....Deal with it lol.

Our shop deals with a company that does everything in metric and we have to convert everything to use our standard tooling. So welcome to my world

Kevin,

 

Do you need the home learning edition to view the files? I tried opening them and there are no entities?

 

Thanks

[uncle_dolan]

I found a site called **** that had a download for 32bit x6 hle...can someone please tell me if it is allowed to share the link for this for others or not?

Yeah, you have to have the home learning edition for these to open. I got it by signing up at eApprentice. But you also get it with the books and DVD's sold on here.

[drafting3]

i'd definitely be ineterested, but only have access to X6 here at work. Tried opening up the file, but "industrial SIMS cannot open ECM files".

 

So, it looks like i need a way to get the home learning edition.

 

 

Oh, and as far as my abilities...

 

I've been working with MasterCAM for about a year now. I've only ever done 3 axis mill, but i have an extensive background in 3D solid and surface modeling. I can draw anything, basically.

I bought an X6 lathe book at work here and don't think I received a HLE with it.
