Hello again Chris,
Drivers are updated.
I can Print in wire frame color or black.
If I shade the model and print, I get a blank sheet of paper.
If I do a print preview the shade is there, color or black.
AutoCad,Visi,SolidEdge,Paint or a Picture all print Ok
Thanks for your help

Hello All
Not tring to beat down a dead dog here, But since I've loaded MR1, I can not print shaded view, wire ok and in color.
When I have something shaded on screen and print I just get a blank sheet of paper, Do a print preview and it looks good...
I've checked everything I can think of, I think its something in x, Cause I can print shade in everything but x
Thanks
Hello everyone,
I'm using a 2D contour toolpath to cut a profile
along one side of a part that I'm machining,
My problem is when my tool gets to the end of the chain it rapid's up and then across to begining of the chain (wasting time)How can I make the tool step down at the end of the chain. (so the tool is cutting in both directions.
Hope this is understandable.
Thanks
Hello again..
Just to keep the project going I created an extruded solid across the part, just so I could get the machining started.
I would still like to know to create the surface across.
Thanks again

Hello all
I need to create a surface across this part (from front view..just like if you were to slice through the block, using the top of the part..my tool need not go below the surface, I have uploaded this file to the FTP site
under( mxc files ) (385 surface help zip)
Thanks for the help
and I hope this is understandable.

After missing around with a few toolpaths...
I found that Surface Finish Blend worked very nice!
and saved me from creating two other Operations

Hello All
When I do a Finish Radial tool path on a core (elbow shape part)
On the ends of the part I can do a Finish parallel
But the middle of the part is where I'm trying to do a Radial to sweep round the curve of the elbow
The problem I'm having is the Radial is leaving
a Scalloped finish.
Also I would put a picture of the part here. but I don't know how to insert it.
Thanks
Ok guys it seems to be working now, But I think there is still someting wrong.
Like I said earlier, I had this problem yesterday..
And I sent this program to another computer without changing anything, and it worked fine
sent the program back to mine and the Boundary error thing again!
The funny thing is the boundry is a simple rectangle 1 in over the part.
Thanks guys for your help
Tried filleting, Now I can change my cut depth
But it will only go .700 deep
I'm going to try a reboot and see what happens
Yesterday I reloaded X because of this problem
Give you a update in a few mins.

Hello
Cutting a cavity that looks kinda like a PVC elbow sliced in half. Dia about 2 in. and about 4 in lenght
Surface Rough Pocket-set the cut Depths to -.700
Everything work as it should.
If I change my cut depth to anything other than
-.700
I get this Error....
Boundaries may not intersect,overlap,collapse,or be nested for z machining.
This happens, it seems like, all the time..
