X7 verisurf tools ?

[MrFish]

Are these available yet ?

 

Need to be able to create hole axis in conical faced holes and the new mastercam solid hole axis tool can't do it, so back to the great suite of verisurf tools ;-)

I haven't seen any Verisurf tools for x7 yet.

 

But, if your looking for a way to get an axis try this.

Create flowline geometry on the walls of the hole you want drill. Make sure that your flowline direction is perpindicular to the dirction of the hole. This should make complete circles on the hole surface. Adjust the distance to suite your needs as you'll need at least two circles.

Then just connect the center of two of the fowline circle geo and done. Semi-instant hole axis.

This usually works for me... unless I have a model with funky UV direction, then I actually have to do some work.

Hi Oscar

 

Thanks

 

Yip know how to get them the old fashioned way, but you can't beat the 1 click of verisurf hole axis ;-)

Holy cr@p, it's been out since March and I've been sitting here making flowlines and connecting dots and crud.

What's worse is that I read that OP when it was first posted but didn't follow it, LOL.

 

Thanks for the link J these tools come in very handy.

Thanks

 

Anyway

This is also a good reason to look into the Important topics pinned to the top, many links that are looked for over and over are archived there for quick reference

There is good reason to look in the whats new file for X7 too.

Mastercam now has it's own hole axis function, while I haven't actually used it yet, it looks to be even more powerful than the verisurf hole axis.

 

 

never mind, I should have read the first post more carefully.

The Mcam holeaxis is specifically for solids, the Verisurf tools works with solids (they need to shaded), surfaces and arcs.

How can I add the Verisurf X7 Tools link to the Download -Tools sections of this Forum?

Sure would be nice if someone would put a link to Verisurf Tools for X7 under the downloads page. I had no idea they had even released it yet till I saw this thread. Thanks MrFish for starting the thread.

I don't know what it is, but the search feature at this forum sucks. I don't how many times I've searched for something and nothing came up. Then when I find it through other methods, there are all of the exact words I was searching for.

Maybe I will see someone next week at the Mastercam conference.

I installed the verisurf tools, but I don't like the WCS enabled. I can turn it off in the preferences, but it won't stick. Is there a way to make the settings stick?

[rocheey1]

click the Tab in the Ops manager. The icon for the WCS appears. Click THAT icon to make it stick.
