I had the fx1500 on my old system.......it worked flawlessly with X and X2.

I have the 9800GT now with X4....something just isn't right with the graphics...I don't know if it is X4 or the card.

Thanks guys......my post/mmd/cd are correct.

My issue was......I was unaware that once you selected the machine file it automatically added the "20" right in the operations mngr, I thought it would add it after it posting.

I want my length offset to match tool number.

I want my diameter offset to add 20 to the tool number.

Tool 3 = T3, H3, D23 in program.

I went to MMD, CD, Tool, Tool Offset Registers.

I checked "Add to Tool" Length = 0, Diameter = 20

Yet when I post......the 20 is not added to the diameter offset.....why is this???

bump

zoober plz lmk if i'm doing it right.

1)I do all Control Def edits thru MMD.

2) When editing a MMD, I always restart MCAM, then open up my MMD's. This way I figure I am always editing the global/disk copy.

I too need to block g94 from posting.

I #'d out the lines mentioned above....that worked but it also blocked the g90 at SOF. (at toolchange still output g90...this is good)

How do I get g90 back in there?

It's rotating correctly now. I changed cw/ccw and it did not work... upon shutting the pc down and coming in the next day....it outputs correct direction now.

Would a shutdown of MCAM be reqd for these type of post changes to take affetc?

Leigh, I do not want to adjust any machine settings. I have a 5 ax (3+2) post for this machine that works well. (it doesn't handle axis sustitution though)

I need my 3/4 axis post to rotate in same direction.

I have a haas horizontal post made from mpmaster.

My issue is the same, my "A" post negative I need to post positive.

I changed direction from CW to CCW in MMD, this did not help.

Any Ideas?

any other info?

I have it and use it with good results.

I can open Catia V4 & V5......CATPART, CATPRODUCT, CAT, EXP, MDL, MODEL and MOD files.

no issues

So i understand.....lets say you have 5 ops all in the front T/C plane.....now for your next op you change to top T/C plane, this causes your previous ops to become dirty???

Do the first 5 ops maintain the front t/c plane or do they update themselves to the top t/c plane?

rickster thanks for the "holy cow".

I never tried the benchmark in x4 till now.

In x3 procesing time was 4min 51sec.

In x4 processing time is 1min 44sec.

If your using X4....get the sample file samples/highspeed/DYNAMIC_MILL.MCX

If I understand your question...op1 should provide a guide to what you want to machine.

HTH

In X4.......where set default import toolpaths folder?

I don't see it in config, files, data paths.

"where do you put the Lang.dll, I ran the X+ installer.

in the X+ folder inside the chooks folder of the X4 install."

I have the lang.dll in the above folder but still not in english.....any ideas??

Does file contain a solid?

If yes make sure it doesn't need to be regenerated. (no red x)

thanks .....that worked using Tool Manager.

Is there a way to copy tool info from one tool to

another? (speeds, feeds, oal, loc...etc...etc)

I need to machine many holes using the same diameter tool covering tool numbers 1 thru 4.

I created tool 1....can I copy to create tools 2 thru 4.....just changing the tool/offset number?

I've searched this site and X4 help.....found nothing.

go to ....xform.....xform stl....this allows you to position the stl geo where you like

I get x4 today and I want to do a clean install.

jp...."plus clean the registry"......what files?

be specific please

My post is outputting a B90....it shouldn't.

wcs = top

t/cplane = top

toolpath planes = top, top, top

no misc values turned on.

where would it be picking up a B move?

will x4 allow sharp corners? i thought i read that in a press release.
