I have seen this today in a customer PC. The problem was a .MMD-6 that did not exist... Check the "Mastercam event log" in the task bar. It shows what file is causing the problem.

Try uninstall Moldplus. Its strange, but it may work... Please let me know.

Yes. Are you using also Moldplus?

you are NOT insane I can replicate your problem. check the beta forum

We have developed a chook to PLOT PDF files. The difference is that you can specify the 'pen width' for each color and also for dimension notes, and circles are perfect circles(not converted to lines during print) Unfortunately its not free...

We have a prospect that wants to program a saw(works like a guilhotine) machine is an "Homag Optimat". We have found that we can do the nesting with "guilhotine" style. Now we need to generate the cuts. Fist Horizontal, then all SUB-verticals for that cut. Next Horizontal, then all SUB-verticals for that cut. Do you program this machines manualy or automaticaly?

Not yet.

rdkllkng, We install the Sketch Parametric chook in all our customers and never had such strange stories... If you want, send me a sample geometry and will tell you if the Sketch Parametric chook can help in your work. [ 01-15-2008, 10:38 AM: Message edited by: Gilberto ]

rdkllkng, Please email me with the contact person that told you that strange horror story. I would like to personally check that story... nofalloff, Can you elaborate on your (tangent, tangent, tangent) request?

quote: Cool I gotta alot of things to try now. Where would someone get the sketch parametric c-hook? Ask your resseler. We can provide test codes, but only going thru a local resseler.

Sketch Parametric chook http://www.grandesoft.com/download/SketchParametric.pdf - Edits chains and maintains chain continuity. (can be used in Solids and Toolpaths) - 8 options to common editing tasks ( Edit Fillet Radius, Edit Parallel Line Distance, Edit Line Length, Edit Line XY Ordinate, Edit Vertex Point, Move Selected entities, etc.) - Works in any Cplane and Z depth - Changes automatically propagate to entities on the same chain. (all entities on the same chain must be on same color/level) - Analyze Dimensions, show points if there are chain gaps or duplicate entities - can link to ASCII text tables

Mick, In v9 we use Browse to test computers stability. We leave 4 Mastercam sessions doing browsing all night. Just missing 2 features in your NetHOOK: - keep looping when last geometry is reached - set the delay value Thanks

You need to export it in vectorial format to have better quality... - What entities need to be exported? - How about PDF?

4min 52sec for the Metric part. Not entering any pissing contest here, just setting a ref. point for Metric users. Parameters and tools are different in the Metric part. Using same part and Hardware, Mastercam config tolerances may still affect the results...

Same part but Metric with same converted tolerance 0.0025mm Time 5 minutes CPU Intel Core2 E6600 RAM 2Gb Win XP
