  1. Thanks for the replies.. Ive only a 3d licence not multi axis so i dont think Dylans suggestion would work.. Nickbe 10 where would one change the cutter shape within verify? And are you talking about the verify in the operations manager? Thanks!
  2. thanks for the very informative reply Colin!
  3. Hi , ive a surface pocket to finish with highspeed waterline in 2021.. The pocket does have a flat floor in some areas.. Is it possible to include the machining of the flat floors with the waterline toolpath or do i need to come back with say a shallow or horizontal toolpath to machine the flat floor areas? I know with surface -finish-contour it actually machines the flats within the toolpath itself.. Thanks
  4. Hi Ive a pocket i want to machine out using optirough.. I want to pre drill the hole to remove some of the material and then optirough to machine out the pocket Is it possible to have optirough recognisethe fact that i have already drilled out the hole and thus avoid cutting material i dont need to ? Similar to 2d high speed where i can select the hole dia as the air region.. Thanks!
  5. well i didnt know that.. I always thought some of the older legacy toolpaths still had their place in the world.. Thanks alot!!1
  6. How do you access the old legacy toolpaths in 2021?
  7. this is what im trying to pencil .. It would be a bit tedious i think to isolate certain surfaces i think.. I will give it a go anyway.. Thought it could just be a matter of one pass along the crease of the parts.. Thanks!
  8. Hi, im trying to do a pencil toolpath in 2021 and i just cant get it to only do 1 pass only in the crease of my part.. im getting multiple toolpaths all over the place which i don't want.. I think the issue maybe my parameters.. Thanks
  9. Hi All, Im sure ive seen it but cant find it now in regards to 2021.. Ive done an optirough toolpath and created a stock model from it to represent what my part now looks like.. I want to then use the stock model created to base my calculations for an optirough rest toolpath to use a smaller dia cutter.. Any help appreciated!
  10. Thanks for the link.. But i literally have no idea what to do with those files ..
  11. crazyman, how do i get m,achine simulate to display the 4th axis setup as you have? is it one of the default machine types in 2021? This is another thing i need to learn.. Thanks
  12. Guys, I'm after the best way to convert splines to arcs in 2021.. Cant seem to find a sure fire way to eliminate the splines all together.. Thanks!
  13. Thanks for the replies.. It was an x9 file and ive regenerated with no avail.. The code output with x9 is correct but for some reason with 2021 its not outputting all the A values i need.. I will talk to my reseller about it.. For now i will use the x9 file.. 2021 doesnt displaty options to acess the page in machine def where you can see details about the A axis.. see attached pic.. Thanks
  14. Has anyone had this issue? Its an existing file from x4 but now im worried that in 2021 there will be issues.. Thanks
  15. Is there a feature called safty zone in 2021? If so where would i find it? Thanks
  16. Hi, Is it possible to have a smaller in height menu bar? Currently its taking up alot of realestate.. Sorry about the attached picture but you get my drift.. Thanks!
  17. The solid that im creating the surface from is visible..
  18. Hi, In 2021 im creating surfaces from a solid.. But for some reason the surfaces are disappearing? If anyone can shed some light it would be appreciated!
  19. Hi, In 2021 when trying to analyze a point or position has anyone noticed a delay of say a couple of seconds before your result is displayed? Thanks
  20. Does 2021 have the ability to split the screen into 2 or 4 views? Im sure this was available in earlier versions. Thanks!
  21. The other day i was trying to put curves on 1 solid face but it was like it was selecting everything but.. I dont know what i did but i managed to set it somehow so that i could pick the face i wanted.. I just want to know how to toggle this for next time.. Thanks
  22. Hi All, Im new here so be gentle.. Ive a part programmed on horozontal mill ..its just 6 holes at 60 deg apart drilling into the OD of my part towards the center.. The backplot looking down on top is all good showing holes drilling around my part.. My question is it possible when backplotting each individual hole that i get a view looking straight down the hole automatically and when it moves to the second hole ect it updates the view and then looks straight down the next hole ect ect.. Thanks!
