  1. replacing the machine definition file and knowing to delete all files in the temp folders really helps....thanks gcode and steve

     

    mastercam only locked up on me once in the last few hours so i'm encouraged about this fix.

    (not happy that it is happening to begin with though)

  2. i have in temp folder.....

     

    folder 153430, containing these files

    bnci.bin 1/22/08

    shortcut to tbstate.dat 5/12/08

    tbstate.dat 1/22/08

     

    files

    bnci.bin 5/12/18

    ids.tmp 5/12/08

    tbstate.dat 5/12/08

     

    mastercam is running.....so these files should be present?

  3. zero....3 years later and i am having this problem....exactly the way you describe it.

     

    my alt works fine in all other apps.....it's random in mcam.

     

    some users/developers may say...ahhh it's just the alt key...live with it....it's no biggie....well to me it is, i use the alt key constantly, when it doesn't work the way it is designed to...i have to alter my creating geometry or programming habits.

     

    it is 1 key out of many, but i wish there was a fix for it.

  4. quote:

    You first need to unroll the curved geometry

     

    Xform >> roll

     


    xform ...unroll, this was the key i needed.

     

    but!!!.....now when i code my file my code and clearance moves are out of whack. headscratch.gif

     

    my code was mostly z & b moves and clearances were posted as i set them. z moves matched the model file. (this is good)

     

    now my code is mostly y & b moves and my clearance moves have 302.9mm added to them. nothing matches my model file.

     

    path looks good but but not in right place.

     

    do i have to adjust my planes either on operation parameter page or toolplane or c-plane?

  5. my steps....

    mill toolpaths

    contour

    chain geo (blue geo in jp's picture)

    rotary axis

    axis sub...sub X axis...CW...rot dia 605.8

     

    i try both unroll as well as no unroll, neither produces correct results

     

    active level = 210

    color = 14
