I like the website design. This site could be another tool in the selection process for purchaseing an computer.

IE 8.06 Gunther..... quote: very frustratingonly because I like your product. I want it to work the way it is meant to. I thank you for this add-on.

i shrunk my logo to 74x42 (3 letters). it only shows up on wireframe with a few operations only. if i have a solid on my screen and choose not to use a screen shot...it still does not display the logo. (very frustrating)

do you show the screenshot as well? if yes... large or small bmp? wire or surfaces/solids?

Code breaker.....still have issue today? did you save the file? have you shutdown (cleared mcam temp file) then restarted? These 2 steps solve alot of little crazy gremlins in mastercam for me.

Using X+, the tool bmp's and company logo only appear in certain setup sheets. (it may have something to do with # of tools or size of screenshot) How can I set it so they always appear? Tool bmp's not so important but nice to see. I would like my company's logo to always appear though.

All seems to work good now except for one thing...the tool bmp's and company logo only appear in certain setup sheets. How can I set it so they always appear? Tool bmp's not so important but nice to see. I would like my company's logo to always appear though.

I just manually deleted all x+ files/folders then rebooted. I'll let you know how it turns out.

no uninstall file there....not in add-remove programs either.

where do i uninstall x+? It's not working right....I want to uninstall then reinstall. (i like what it outputs)

I got it to work..... I set my "max surface deviation" to .0001(was .001).....curves match surfaces perfectly. FYI - changing the "curve chordal deviation" from .001 to .0001 did not work.

I am running into this issue right now. I import a model into MCX4 then create curves on the model. The curves DO NOT match the model. I tightened up the tolerances/chordal deviation to .0001. (does not help) One of our users still has V9 on his pc.....he imported the model then created curves...the curves matched the model perfectly. Is there a fix for this yet???

During the last week I've had this error pop up 3x. quote: Encountered an improper argument Once while in system config, once in toolpath properties....the other I can't remember. Anyone ever hear of this? It locks up mastercam.

quote: Using comments/Manual Entries, really isn't the best way to handle this. Our "manual entries" aren't just limited to M00's or M01's....we'll place job instructions there which change with each job. I don't understand how the following example would help me accomplish that. If mi1$ = 2, “M00 (CHECK PART)”, e$ Else, n$, “M01”, e$ I wish that manual entry and operation comments were handled individually in the post. It seems odd that I can't have a perfect post, I must edit something. I'll have to choose between editing manual entries or operation comments. Thanks to all who responded, I appreciate you taking the time.

jp.....i spoke to soon, my "operation comments" aren't posting now. any idea what could've caused this?

jp.....thank you

I did not.....those are "comments", I want to move where "manual entry" is posted. ( i take it as 2 different animals)

V9 and X both loaded on computer seemed to run ok. X with X2 or X3 or X4 or any combination doesn't run so smoothly. I uninstalled all previous vers, cleaned up the registry then did a fresh install for X4. I beleive X2 was more stable than X4....but I must move on.....so I cut the cord to all past vers. hth

I need my "manual entry" to post before the tool change. (see below) I've made a few changes to the post but nothing worked. **this is how it posts now.....

in the operations mngr,operation, tool.....tool #, tlo, dia offset....these need to have numbers in the respective boxes. i don't see how mcam will post out tool #0 if these are filled in.
