Adding them in for selection can be done at the bottom of the post in the control def section With the cycle time, you can't with that kind of addition, You've created what is essentially a point path with parameters you set in place. there is nothing for Mastercam to calculate for cycle time
-
Think mold work, core and cavity core is the male part, cavity(Area) is the female part
-
Yup, The Core toolpaths are all designed to cut from outside to to inside Area paths are Inside boundary toolpaths A rudimentary description though it is

Thank you Del
-
OK, I am NOT a wire guy I am curious, what kind of part tolerances can be held when using a wire process?
-
You may need to create some wireframe/edge curves on a different level then turn off the level with the solid/surfaces In the options on importing, there is an option to create wireframe/edges when imports

Parametric programming
cadman2112 replied to rchipper's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Anything truly parametric in nature, I will always write macros to accomplish. In Mastercam, the geometry isn't parametric, so you end up modifying and manipulating the geometry. in MC4SW, you can edit the parametric geometry, regenerate the part. -
Change recognition IS what you want. Call your reseller if you're not sure how it works, it's typically a "little" more step by step involved to go into here without writing a 3 page narrative on how exactly everything in there works. If I remember correctly, there is a sample file that you can use
-
I've been down this road. I would not do it. I mean really, a company can't afford the hardware to make money with? If it's a home system and you want to mess with, hey, go for it but a company, doesn't need to mess with that, they want systems that run, period, The warranty will handle the rest. My 2 cents is free
-
Agree with Pete. It needs to be opened in SW and all of the configurations rebuilt and resaved, then they should be available
-
If you have a nice big fat assembly file or something with 30 or 40,000 surfaces That's where you'll REALLY notice what the card does for you AFAIK, there aren't any "readily" available sample files for things like that...
-
And just exactly do what do you expect a video card to do for Mastercam processing performance? Outside side of much cleaner graphics, better video response time and more stable verify, I'm not sure how you expect to "quantify" your results based on processing a Mastercam file
-
Mastercam doesn't take advantage of an SLI setup not sure there would be any tangible gain to running in SLI
-
Live dangerously
-
Having used both and ATi, they are better Just better overall performance. As far as geometry looking god or bad, crap geometry will still look like crappy geometry, no video card will fix that. Always run at the highest available resolution for the greatest "look" do remember though, it is only a look
-
Yeah, what's a programmer "possibly" need a professional card for huh?

EVGA GTX 680 graffix card - anyone using it???

The 600 is an entry level card, the 2000 is a "good" mid-range card Always avoid the NVS series http://www.nvidia.com/object/workstation-solutions.html -
Only post tool number on first M6
cadman2112 replied to Darin's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
format a variable sof : 1 if sof, [ pbld, n$, t$, "M6", e$ ] else [ pbld, n$, !t$, "M6", e$ ] then at the end of the toolchange section sof = 0 -
there is not an x64 driver if you have a serial port connection one, I had to retire one about 4 years ago because on this

Only post tool number on first M6
cadman2112 replied to Darin's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
The first and easist thing to try is changing the pbld, n$, t$, "M6", e$ to pbld, n$, !t$, "M6", e$ The ! in front of the t should just update the variable -
Space Pilot Pro I started out with a Space Ball in NX2 and MCAM V9, I found the entire WCS could be ripped apart by the Spaceball if you didn't simply click in the screen once to give control back to MCAM. Once I understood that I have never in the past 10 years been without one, nor would work without one. They're not difficult to describe but the actual usage comes so naturally that after a month you'll swear you'll never work without one again., Hotkeys are passe'

4th axis Setup - What is the 'correct' way?

Try telling the Rest cut to leave .001 more stock. I Know, shouldn't have to but I have found in many cases this will get it

It is an option $$$
