  1. accu-snap makes machinable jaws that might be what you are looking for.
  2. I have not had any problems with either 8 or 3.
  3. what happened to defect #CNC 00013244?
  4. in x it could be a graphics card.
  5. I don't know why it is doing that, but when you edit you can remove block #'s and then remove empty lines and then put block #'s back in.
  6. in regaurds to retention knobs: some of the people here used loctite on them,we have not had any problems. I was always against the practice because we used to interchange knobs between machines. Now we don't have that problem anymore. I have always used a spanner wrench with a soft hammer.
  7. I've seen other windows applications do that, but I don't think it is something you can edit. sorry.
  8. you could play around with it till you figure out where it is in the post processer.
  9. if you left click on the toolpath you can give it a name but the # will not go away. I do this for an explanation to the operator so they know what the cutter is supposed to be doing. I hope that helps you.
  10. I have had problems, but most of them were resolved by either reading the book or asking on this forum. I don.t neccesarily dislike it but you are right about liking it because I learn something new.
  11. we just got rid of 2 500's. they could not rigid tap. but the yasnac control was very good and the machine made good parts - just slower.
  12. in the parameters of the toolpath you can go to planes and change work offset # to 1 for g55. unless you already fixed the problem
  13. I like cimco very much also, but I'm still at version 4.32- but it works very well for me.
  14. so, when all you people updated x did you have to back and change any settings?
  15. I have mmd files for the machines we use, but for some reason it won't accept them as a selection
  16. when I try to set the type of machine that I'm using I get an error that says: Control definition file for machine not found. default control settings will be loaded. I thought I had already configured all my files to x
  17. I figured it out, but it was just a new toolpath group, I still had to copy them from toolpath 1 to toolpath 2.
  18. why is it that when I start a new toolpath group my previously used tools are not there anymore. It has taken me almost a full day to program a square part with holes in 2 sides.
  19. I'm not trying to change the read only files< I thought I was tryin to fix a machine def that I had given the system. No matter what I do I keep getting the same error that I stated above.
  20. I tried that, it gives me the warning: the system default machine cannot be edited
