  1. If two (or more) .mcx files are open, the ability to either copy/paste or drag toolpaths from one file to another would be great.
  2. Instead of dragging toolpaths to new machine group, try choosing a different machine group for the existing one.
  3. 4" is definitely not enough. Another alternative would be to use a large plate that would disperse the load a little, but even that isn't a great idea.
  4. I love dual monitors. I am surprised with the amount of people that actually have them though...almost 50 votes in and 94% have them. I thought it would be closer to 60-65%.
  5. In the general output settings, I use pitch for tapping not feed. Then: The ptap section: ptap$ #Canned Tap Cycle pdrlcommonb #RH/LH based on spindle direction if rigid_tap, pbld, n$, *sm29, *speed, e$ #Rigid Tapping if use_pitch = 0, [ pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, *sgdrill, pdrlxy, pfzout, pcout, pindexdrl, prdrlout, [if peck1$, *peck1$], *feed, strcantext, e$ ] else, [ if metvals, pitch = n_tap_thds$ # Tap pitch (mm per thread) else, pitch = 1/n_tap_thds$ # Tap pitch (inches per thread) pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, *sgdrill, pdrlxy, pfzout, pcout, pindexdrl, prdrlout, [if peck1$, *peck1$], *pitch, !feed, strcantext, e$ ] pcom_movea #Misc Gcode strings sm29 : "M29" #Rigid Tapping
  6. Standard for us is yes, but if a program is over the size limit to fit in the machine, I will remove them.
  7. This seems like it would help those that always have the D and H vales the same. I might add this to my posts for the machines that allow this. What about the machines where the H and D can't be the same? I've seen this issue for awhile(way before X6), it is a pain, but I've known that you just have to click on the tool again to get it to update.
  8. Are you able to read the off topic section?
  9. Hvae a location where the posts are, and make sure the mapping is correct from each person's workstation that is using the posts.
  10. That is not the first time I've heard that. If someone has a degree, it basically shows that they can learn at a higher level and finish what they started.
  11. Thanks. Does anyone know if something like that could have been affecting the issues I mentioned in this thread that I still have not been able to fix.
  12. I have the current version installed, and I have been having the same issue.
  13. LOL...house looks great, my wife is all over that. I'm just not a fan of the location.
  14. I uninstalled X6 and the files still won't associate.
  15. I still haven't been able to fix the issues from this thread. Just tried it all again with the new install. This is a major problem for me.
