  1. "...Yeah, there is data being stored in the database that shouldn't be there, if you run a database search and do not check the alive bit you can access geometry from parts in mcx files that you opened hours before. Those definetly should not be there..." Entities that still exist but are not 'alive' are still in the database for the purposes of 'undelete'. There is not a separate place where they can be held (maybe someday...) They will be gone after you save and re-open the file, or if you run RAMSaver (oops... File/RepairFile) .

  3. I have a customer in Paramount California that said they were looking for machinist. That close enough to your location? They have 2 Matsuura 5-Axis 10 pallet machines and another single pallet 5 axis, (builder unknown).

  7. Unless I am misunderstanding greatly here. As long as you have a dead simple pattern surface (centered on the c axis, probably spherical in this case), all you should need to do is use fixed angle to axis in the tool axis controls. Set the tilt angle and the axis to "tilt" about. If those don't work, use the maintain tilt checkbox, set conical limits, or possibly adjust your pattern surface. May ways to skin this cat. Now that I have read the post and possibly understood what is being asked.... I am guessing you have an issue with the pattern surface. Try using parallel instead of geodesic. Shouldn't make too much difference. Also, make a simpler pattern surface if you can and see if it does what you want, then introduce new variables as needed to get the output you want.

  8. Hey Rstewart, The short answer is that the ToolManager.exe, along with CodeExpert.exe and Mastercam itself, must all be explicitly told to use the Dedicated graphics card. ToolManager and CodeExpert will otherwise run into problems when attempting to draw graphics objects on the screen (create a tool or run Millturn Simulation.) The ToolManager and CodeExpert exe's are located here by default: C:\Program Files\Mastercam 2020\Mastercam\Extensions\ See my response on this below thread for more detailed information on how to force use of the dedicated NVIDIA graphics card for these .exe's: https://www.emastercam.com/forums/topic/95322-tool-manager-crashes-in-2018/?tab=comments#comment-1179651 There's an official KB article that includes instructions for AMD cards as well.

  9. Generally if your toolpath has enough data to go cleanly "over the top" our post would have B will switch solutions.

  12. Here's the parameters I change on all of our FANUC 30i and 31i- controlled 5-Axis machines; #1300.1 = 1 Handle Jog OT alarm not output. (NAL) #1401.4 = 1 Rapid Stops when Feed Override is at 0% (RF0) #6001.3 = 1 Output all MACRO Variables on punch (PV5) #6001.6 = 1 #100-#199 not cleared on reset. (CCV) #6005.0 = 1 In Sub Program Call use Sequence Number (SQC) #6019.0 = 1 Output all variables as decimal number (MCO) #11350.1=1 Current section of program only displayed, not look ahead section (APD) (Requires Reboot) #11351.6=1 Parameter Group Names Displayed (GTD) #11775.0=1 Smooth TCP is Active (TP2) #13265 = 999 (MAX TLO Available) Tool Life Management H Offset Number (0=99) #13266 = 999 (MAX TLO Available) Tool Life Management D Offset Number (0=99) #13451.1 = 1 TWP 0's ok. (ATW) #14854.6 = 1 Program Input/Output is enabled during Background Editing (BGO) #19746.4 = 1 (TBP) G41.2/G42.2 ok This should set you up nice.
