so what do you find different on the colors in code Expert to Cimco? I am sure you know you can change the colors based on what codes just like CIMCO and you can change the fonts were they seem a little bolder in CIMCO but you can do the same in CE. Folks please share with us what you want to see in Code Expert that help make that your default. Thanks for all your input.

Guys have you tried toggling in Code Expert the machine you want to use? review picture:

Code expert uses CIMCO for communications but does not give you an option to pick different machines?

Ok, now finding out that the Swept was a wire path of 2D-swept were he is expecting 3D cuttercomp. This was my reply: OK, we show and option for Wear in the setting but in this case the tool path is to act like a standard surfacing path were we compensate for the Tangent of the tool rad . so the issues is you are expecting a compensation in multi-able directions based on the G41 asking to do a 3D comp and most machines cannot handle this. so if you review the path output you are not seeing the G41 as this is not a straight leaner comp 2D comp. A the thought for getting Wear to work and why is there. if your machine supported 3D cutter comp then post modes would be needed to be made so the post would see this in the B-NCI. I hope this helps.

Now are we just talking about the CIMCO that comes with Mastercam being the Standard or the Professional upgrade?

Well this matters on the machine as for example Fadal will.

What type of tool path did you use were you did not get comp ?

Reko, please review my reply on the Mastercam forum.

\here is a question. beside Mastercam what other software you teach on these computer? I teach at a locale college teaching Mastercam for going on my 18th year. we also teach Catia and solidworks and NC simulate on these computers that helps drive it to.

Change you transition radii to at least have the dia you are using as your sweep rad.

Glad you go it worked out. I hope you are getting a lot from these training videos. I agree that there was time I surely would of like to give more details.

We have seen issues were at time on a multi screen were certain tabs may not work correctly if undocked to another screen. Have you downloaded the B5 2020 and tried it there with that file?

There is a an operation 4 that does what you want an edge chamfer. There are a few different samples of Axis sub cuts review the view sheets and operation. if you have question please ask. Axis Sub.zip

So you have the HLE ( Home Learning Edition) Version being the what we give to students? then that is all you get as you cannot post anyways. but it will let you do 4th programming.

Matters if you are just wanting to finish and start from the center. Now if you need to plunge in the center and rough out for example and finish there is Circle Mill.

when you go to select the arc if you hit the "C" key this tells the system to pick the Center of an arc. this a quick selection key option.

Thad it is up and running it was off for a bit trying some stuff.

Would of the FTP helped with sharing this file. I notice that no one uses any more?

when you create a view sheet this is what it is looking at and the ones with the check marks are what is save. So set the part part on the screen how you want it and all other setting then save bookmark setting and now every time you select that tab it will set all the options and set the part how you want to view it. Do think there is a call for an example video of a view sheet shown and setting them?

really this is what Viewsheets are all about.

Do you have questions like how and why?

Mathhew, were are you located what state. Did you get this to work correctly. I am wondering if you select C before picking the circle if the geo would find the location. let me know if you need me to show you in a video of what I am talking about.

Trying to remember what video it is that I defined the lines normal. going through it now.

Is this on a Solid chain by chance when you see this?

This was a X8 and X9 thing as the GUI made some changes as of X8. the New series starting with 2017 and higher this not an option.
