    Ron, I am doing this through the MBD tab in the OP Manager. I uncheck, click OK, then if at any point I shut down Mastercam, when it re-opens it is checked off again. I do have admin rights, I have full control Here's a funny this I just noticed this morning. I opened Mastercam, no WCS Gnomon BUT it is still checked on i the preferences Weird happenings
  2. cadman2112
    Yup, the Verisurf WCS gnomon. I set it off, shut down, restart it's back on again
  3. cadman2112
    Is anyone esle having an issue with the new one. I turn off the WCS and every time I restart Mastercam it is turned back on, the setting won't stick to keep it off

    Typcially I keep the speed the same as that is tied to the SFM to you machine the material. But lowering the feed rate decreases the chip load
  5. cadman2112
    "carbon steels" Well, that does open up a world of different possibilities. So I'll be very general I will typically helix entry 75-80% of my feed rate generally at a 2 degree. Now you're tool choice and exact metal being cut will determine much more of the exact cutting conditions. On those occasions where I just cannot fit a helix in, I will ramp, again at a 2 degree zig and zag.

    Is any of those tool paths being cut on splines? I have seen a similar issue at times when cutting splines, either a tool path filter or simplifying the geometry can usually clear it up

    Turn off N number output in the control def Then in the post on the tool change line add * before the n pbld, *n$, t$, "M6", e$ That will force it out ONLY on tool change lines

    Was sent a pic of my new work area, starting a new job in a week, leaving my current and sitting there on my new desk, as I ordered is a Space Pilot Pro. I have not had one of some variation, from Spaceball to this newest one since I was working in V9 Mastercam It's like American Express, "Don't leave home without it"

    Didn't read the FAQ, eh?

    Make sure you're running X6 MU3 on all seats, as I remember, this was a bug in X6
  12. cadman2112
    You know what, RIF I should have read that completely, You are quite correct Jay
  13. cadman2112
    I actually only turn off the middle one. I am thinking, he needs to keep hitting F9 to bring up his origin lines If that's the case, in the config on.... Screen >> check Display part Information, that will turn on the origin lines with every part you create
  14. cadman2112
    Oh yeah, you HAVE to love the Waspalloys, Rene's and other such incarnations
  15. cadman2112
    You will measure tool life cutting inco, especially the 718 variety, in minutes Hopefully, who ever quote the job knew that

    I am going to to a shop that "had" a CTX, he was extremely happy when they dumped it and bought something else.... I personally have zero experience, other than writing a post for one but he was the owner and hated the thing.
  18. cadman2112
    You also must have "Helix Support" checked in your control def as well
  19. cadman2112
    Since MCAM can't take advantage of nearly a decade old technology(SLI), I would be VERY doubtful
  20. cadman2112
    You should be able to save it, the license keyfile, to your desktop and simply double click it, it "should" update your HASP
  21. cadman2112
    IIRC, if you were on a temp code, I think it shuts down. Your reseller is going to be your best I think
  22. cadman2112
    Will that hasp work on another system?
  23. cadman2112
    Can the box that won't connect ping the Server successfully? Is your nethasp.ini configed to read the server?
  24. cadman2112
    I feel that solid chaining in lathe is really only good for the most simplistic geometry. Beyond that it falls down. I have always just relied on chaining in lathe because it gives me much greater flexibility and toolpath control

    Here's a video Jay did if you're unsure on using the WCS system http://www.emasterca...164#entry803845
