  1. If the arcs are wireframe and you are using 2018 or 2019, first of all select all the arcs you want to change. Then use Analyze Entity, change the diameter of the last arc and press the blue "*" symbol next to it. That button is called "propogate arc radius" and will set the other arcs to the same size.

  2. Using the Push-Pull feature on the Model Prep tab, Ctrl+clicking on one of the 0.078 holes will select all holes of the same diameter, and you can then change them all at once to your new desired diameter.

  3. The example shown only has G76 canned cycles (these do not require or use the P and Q block numbers) The error "936 option not found" has the answer to your problem; read as option not purchased. Some of those older Mazak lathes wont even read G Code, BTW you get the same error on those. Allan

  4. Hi, I need to mill 6 notches equally spaced on a ring, when chaining the geometry do I need to do it six times individually, or is there any way I could copy the single chain, or maybe rotate the tool path so many times? I thought there may be a shorter way to it. Thank you. Luch

  5. I see. I thought there was supposed to be an images folder inside the jeff_files folder and that folder wasn't being created. I was mistaken.

  6. Not exactly. When you tell Mastercam to create a setup sheet, it looks at the RPX templates that you have specified and the operations that you selected and ONLY gathers that information from your Mastercam file and dumps that into an XML file. This is why it is so important to be able to force Mastercam to do a complete dump of the data in a Mastercam file via "the secret handshake" I feel your frustration. There are days when AR really aggravates my tourette syndrome. You can get AR to output some of the data that you want without doing a complete set of reports. But if you have a very large file with hundreds of operations, the setup sheet generation time can take a very long time. If you are doing simple every day stuff with 20 operations and 10 tools, it doesn't really matter if it takes several minutes to generate a tool list. I have attached your sample setup sheets that generate the min Z value that you were looking for. Place both of the rpx files in the SSD directory, not the misc directory, and then select setup sheet from the operation manager, (not Tool List) then press F2 to select your test report tool list. See if you get the results that you are looking for. Note that I did not delete all of your old fields, I just turned off the visibility. As far as the truncated boxes that you are seeing, they are only labels showing what data fields you have selected. You can rename them to anything that want. They are only visible in designer. test report.rpx -test subreport.rpx

  7. Make sure your max angle is NOT the default 3 or 5 degrees.i set it to .5 deg or less. BTW...this is where Siemens and heidenhain controls shines... their look ahead works really well

  8. Well, then it certainly sounds like the update broke something. But I guess you already knew that.
