VERICUT doesn´t care much about high-end graphic cards... It uses Z-Buffer technique to perform pixel representation... It often plays better with cheap graphic cards since higher end ones don´t put as much effort in solving low complexity data as they put in high end graphics... Weird but true... OpenGL Turned on in VERICUT makes the graphical details much coarser (though configurable to a certain level) and therefore it speeds up the view graphics. Jm2C

You can do a "Windows Refresh" which is relatively quick and really easy. It asks you which files to keep and which ones to discard.

This could very well be the case. I'm also working with multiple pieces of cut stock so that could be slowing it down as well. Also... just looked at the OpenGL accel and it was checked off. Activated it and voila! Everything moves smoothly. Thanks!

Hi I have pre-drilled hole with .625" drill .5" deep, now I need to tell my .5" end mill to go exactly into the center of the hole and start pocketing true spiral method. By looking at simulation end mill is not going exactly into the center of the pre-drilled hole. How do I tell the machine to go in the center?

Ok...so we have installed an option for full 5 axis motion on out Integrex 100 IIIS machine, but it does not like the G43.4 command. That option is installed as well. We have the Mazak guy here, but he doesn't know why it doesn't like that command. Does anyone know if there is a parameter that needs to be changed? Thanks, Craig Here is what my code looks like: N10 (CHAMFER WINDOW) G28 U0. G28 Y0. M302 M200 T006000.00 G128 E1 G54 G97 S2000 M203 M248 M250 M212 G98 G0 B90.

I can cover a lot in a phone call that will take a while to type here. Tom not on a Mazak if you have the eia parameters set-up correct it will read everything right off of the Mazatrol side of the machine. The suffix is what controls everything if you are using many tools. Not needed, but just a habit I have got into on our Integrex.

The FSB is clocked at 1250 and it runs at 50c all day and peekes during extreame crunching to a hi of 57c. the mother board is EVGA680I the Core is a X6800. we have it like you set on lite side of 3.4 and looking after a while of boosting. PS I see I said 3.5 ealer that was the Core2 duo 2.13 we were playing with upstairs in IT.This one is at 3.4 right now. the CPU cooler is huge and a speacial buy to do exactly what we wanted to keep it cool. We are ordering a Quad Core to play with next.

I found a good deal at the Dell Outlet Store Dell WS-690 2 dual core Xeon 2.66 ghz 4 gig of 533 Ram 2 Raptor 73 gig 10k hard drives Quadro FX-3450 video card a DVD burner and WinXP Pro x64 $2089 + $109 for a 3 year warranty Its a sratch and dent and one corner of the box has a thumb sized dent. I figure that dent cost Dell about $3K Right out of the box this machine ran the benchmark file in 5 min 40 secs. I can't wait to see how it runs SW2008 x64 My old machine gagged on SW2008 beta

Set affinity to 1 CPU 11min 5sec.

Keith, Turning off "display plane/intersections" should save you some time. Give it a try. HTH,

Weve the same problem . There is a way to set parameters in the control so you dont need the M53.
