How about a Yankee's logo!!

If i remember doesn't X+ have this ability?

No problem at all.

It's in simulator options (the icon next to post g-code) go to data tab and there it is.

I used a contour tool path with depth cuts of .078, then used a trim toolpath from the front plane. It should be close to what your looking for. Kinda old school but it works. CONTOUR1.mcam

I would get that a lot with ProE models.

Does 8.2 work as well?

Shoot, we have a Morris South AE in our plant. They could give me the file and I would do it for them no problem.

I was going to say the same thing Ron.

I've been playing around with 2019 at home and it's pretty sweet! I just wish I could use it at work instead of bottom liquid!!

It's nice to have a reseller local for support, unlike other softwares.

VZOFX[1]=0.0 VZOFY[1]=0.0 VZOFZ[1]=0.0 The numbers in the brackets the fixture offset numbers.

I say chip conveyor, must have.

It's a long watch, but so much info it's not even funny.

Wire frame toolpath will do it also.

Ben, I already said I am probably not as smart as the people that love TS. Not trying to hide that fact at all. I guess its just a compatibility issue, I'm not very compatible with it.

I'm so happy you are loving TS, as for us, we struggle every day with it to get usable code. Maybe it's just the way we have implemented it, but dear god!! I "bash it" because all of the great things they say it does, but it just doesn't really work for us. It seems every time there is an update our Okuma machine deff's get hosed and then we have to wait for Jay to do his magic song and dance. It also takes so much work just to be able to start programming. Import models, convert models, heal models, create Machine Part Setup, create a Machining. Then work on placing the MPS on the machine, maybe you can start programming at this time. Nope, machine element activation. Oh man I forgot to do a machine part environment, ok, got that done. So lets start putting down some toolpath, I'll do a sidemill toolpath, you think everything is looking good but your path goes everywhere but where you want!! Ok, Cad mode, then start sketching wire frame. WHAT!! you can't put wire frame on all edges, ok I'll just have to manually sketch it then. By the time I have to do all that crap, I would be half done with the job in Mastercam!! A day latter you finish programming this easy part, then lets do some setup sheets. Right click on Machining file, drafting, I'll choose tool sheet, operation sheet, fixture sheet, ok. Crap!! I forgot to publish my machine part environment and my machine part, might as well publish my origin point. Then spend half a day scaling all the models and tools so they are not all jacked up!! As you can see, you have so much work up front to do before you can start putting down toolpath. Speaking of toolpaths, there really isn't any rhyme or reason to the toolpath setting's. The naming of the functions are just weird, and are buried in tab after tab. You get a toolpath to work then copy and paste it then you can't get it to work on the new geometry. So I'll just delete it and start with a new path and mess with it till it works. Hope you don't have to build a custom tool assembly, that is a battle I don't wish on anyone, You have to add all the frames and inherited functions manually and add revolution silhouette's for the tool and holder, add tool and ground groups with the functions added in. As I have said, I am happy it works for you. I guess I'm just not as smart as the rest of the folks that say they love it. I'm ok with that, but I can and will "bash it" if I feel like it. Don't like it when I do, so what, I really don't care. All I see is the very large sums of money that we continue to throw at this software and get sub par results, but I'm just a lowly programmer with no say or pull within the company, but if I had to run a business with TS I can't see how you could keep the doors open with the short lead times that most manufactures demand these day. I could go on, but I'm tired of beating this dead horse.

I think that is the photo of a Topsolid salesman!!! Promises everything delivers nothing!!

Viewsheets are your friend

Colin, is there a certain level of post editing that you would want someone to be at before taking your course? I haven't done much post editing and I just wouldn't want to waist everyone's time with basic questions that I should know before hand. Is the class going to be recorded for reference if we want to go look back at it in the future?

Can you use 2 separate tool paths, do a rough pocket then a finish contour for the walls?

I use viewsheet with tombstone work also and helping with setup screen shots.

Post it and check the code I guess, it will show when you backplot it also.

lol
