  1. Something definitely looks wrong with your G68.2 lines. It looks as if they have the post setup for a C Axis machine, rotating around Z. The order of rotations for Eulers Angles should be Z, X, Z again. The J's look good but the I's don't

  2. Again you don't provide a file. Here is a sample like yourS with 4 bosses. Only goes up to start the next depth outside the part like it should since the stock is define correctly. Again you keep thinking were the idiots with that arrogance you keep not realizing you are putting out. No file and keep prompting two different CAM Software means you're a shill or a pirate.

  4. the problem probing at angle may not be the lack of software it seems... If not, it may likely be connected to my post processor not agreeing with the machine! I have been getting movement out of travel on the g68.2 line. the B axis on the head wants to08.nc turn upside down! In case your curious... The V536 file is code that worked for another dept. found on this machine. I have the team at inhouse solutions looking at it for me. I'm sure we will get it straight. s. V536LHB

  5. #5400.5 = 1 (LV3) Rotates MACRO Variables to be read in active coordinate system - For Probing while TWP is active. Interesting about being out of range. In a few machines I've encountered over the years, for some unexplainable reason, I've had to set #1301.7 = 0 Stroke Pre-Check Off because for some reason the control thinks it is going to overtravel while TWP was active. It's only been on certain FANUV CNC Series and Edition Softwares. But the machine never did overtravel. High Level Math... one of the great mysteries for me.

  6. James, I haven't a clue why. The factory doesn't respond to questions of such magnitude. But it isn't just us. The Renishaw manual clearly states the need and use of these 2 parameters leading me to believe that having them on all the time is not universal.

  7. IDK what that is... lol I am still learning g-code after 20 years! this VCF has 3 meters of X , so if u r not close to position, it will often b out of range after g68.2 . we r getting probing software Tuesday. thanks again. s

  8. Mastercam will use the graphics card for certain calculations during HSM (High Speed Machining toolpaths) such as Opti, Waterline, Equal Scallop, etc. via the OpenCL (note: C, not G) standard If you're benchmarking programs using the GPU, look for GridComputeServer.exe, as that's the process that handles the GPU utilization: https://my.mastercam.com/knowledgebase/opencl-troubleshooting/ In practice, the calculations being done on the GPU are so trivial for it, that you have to be really logging a lot to notice a blip. The first question people have about using GPU processing is "Why aren't you doing ALL of the calculations on the GPU then!??!?11" The truth is the majority of the time savings of using the GPU for stuff like this is taken up by the operational overhead of managing the data and handing it back and forth from the GPU.

  9. Instead of editing the jump heights, try using "automatic linking" on the Linking page.. It's more betterer.

  10. Different builders may use different components. A computer from Dell or Lenovo may have the same CPU but are attaching them to a different mother board, may have different types of ram used (speed and manufacturer). For extra reassurance, try and find out what all the components are not just the CPU and video card. Windows Home vs Pro....no difference for Mastercam. Main difference is Pro has some extra security features (bitlocker) Gaming vs Workstation. Typically only difference is the video card. Still in the boat that workstation cards are of no benefit to most Mastercam users. If its your bosses money, get a quadro. If you do extremely complex parts, get a quadro. If you are on a budget, GeForce will get you more bang for your buck. That 4080 is a beast and your looking at $$$$ to outperform with an equivalent Quadro card. Lenovo is a large company making computers for all levels of users. I'm sure their budget offerings will have mixed reviews. This being a higher end system, should be getting what you expect. Still, I would shop around some. Should be some other options at that price range.

  11. Set the casting as your stock for verify. Leave your finished model in view and create a dummy toolpath that cuts air. Verify the dummy toolpath and use the compare function in verify. You can increase / decrease your tolerance to get an idea of where and how much stock is left to remove. This also works with an in process stock model to ensure you've cut everything you needed to cut.

  14. No never used it and posted over 19,500 postings that helped not a single person in the last almost 21 years of being on this forum. Again post a file glad to help I guess you cant read that due to your poor English? I live in a tri-lingual house so really annoys me when someone try to use that as an excuse. 沒有人從未使用過它,並且在過去近 21 年的時間裡,在這個論壇上發布了超過 19,500 條帖子,沒有對任何人有任何幫助。 再次發布一個文件很高興能提供幫助,我想您由於英語不好而無法閱讀該文件? 我住在一個講三種語言的房子裡,所以當有人試圖以此為藉口時,我真的很惱火。 上傳一個包含刀具路徑的主文件,然後我們就可以說同樣的語言了。

  15. You just told one of the guys on this forum who is easily the most experienced and willing to teach guy that he doesn't know what he's doing... Perhaps you should contact the Mastercam reseller that your "boss" bought Mastercam from and have them show you how to use it. You chances of getting help here have just gotten on to VERY thin ice.

  16. That will be it's death knell if you ask me.... This company will NOT utilize software that is subscription based.....Autodesk was already dropped...Materialise is about to hit the curb...if a perpetual license isn't available it won't be here.
