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
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
"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"
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
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.
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
