Never had a problem. Are you using wear or control comp? Do you have a lead in line?
-
Can you not "save as" for sharing? ***Guess not. Wasn't there a time when you could save as an older version?***
-
Does the angle change if you make a bigger chamfer?
-
Do you keep your zero the same as the print's?

Always and never are words I don't like to use. -
Should I be able to open it with MC 2020?
-
I can't even figure out how to open the file.
-
I didn't look at first because I did not think I could help but now Millman has piqued my curiosity. I might learn something.
-
Thanks Colin, Makes sense now.
-
But even if I change this setting to 2.5 I see no difference in my backplot, verify or nc code.
-
I'm certain this ones has been covered before but finding results is tricky considering the search words being used. I have changed the value of this setting many times but have never seen a change other than having to regenerate my operation. I tend to leave it at the same diameter as the hole I want just to be safe but I'm not even sure if the diameter in question is for the hole or the tool. Who knows?

Need Help- missing feed rate on 4axis motion
Flycut replied to Machiner32's topic in Industrial Forum
I found out just last week that inverse time feed on a Haas needs an "F" value on every line. Feed is typically modal and Mastercam only outputs a change in feed. If you have 2 consecutive lines with matching feeds the second line will not get an "F". You need to force feed rate at every line in G93. HTH -
One thing I found odd is the position of your geometry for the axis substitution operations. I normally just have my geometry in the middle of the part in the same plane. Is this how you control where the pocket will be on the A axis? I was only interested in the multiaxis operation at first but I'm going to have to take a closer look at everything.
-
Thanks guys, I do have 5 axis options now but only for the past 2 months. It's all still new to me. I did have to resort to axis substitution to get the job done but knew there had to be a better way. From my understanding A axis position relative to other features gets lost with axis substitution. Millman, The multiaxis operations you sent me are perfect. I'm certain I tried that along the way but did not get these results. I'll dissect the parameters you have set and try to understand what I was doing wrong. I owe you one. Thanks again.

I still have a lot to learn about the Multiaxis side of Mastercam. Can anybody please suggest the best toolpath for this feature on a 4th axis? I've tried them all and none of them gave me what I was looking for. Testing.ZIP

I picked one of these up at a trade show back in 1997. Sat on my desk for a long time.

Black on black? Like playing chess blindfolded?
-
Black all the way.

Took a bit of cheating but now I have something I can post and run. With the 3d + perp. entry I had to modify my vertical lines to be .001 out from top to bottom. I also had to break down every chain to single entities to control directions. Thanks Leon
-
Almost, but this seems to ignore vertical lines.
-
I'm thinking there is a better way to do this but I can't figure it out. For now I post it the way it is and then change all my Z moves to Y moves in the editor. (among other things) For those that can't view the file, I'm trying to engrave the front of a plate using a lollipop cutter from the top WCS. Either way I'm getting it done. Just figured there was something I could learn here. TIA Testing.ZIP

finding center point of circle that doesn't have one
Flycut replied to jonathan joseph's topic in Industrial Forum
Wireframe -> Bounding Box -> Center Point? -
Bump for 2021 Has this ever been addressed?
-
Should the parallel to chain toolpath be able to angle to the side walls? Is there a single toolpath to machine this feature or are 2 toolpath needed.
-
Just wanted yo let you guys know. I just got to work and tried what you all suggested and it worked like a charm. Thank you thank you thank you.
-
Thanks guys. I tried flipping the surface normal but I couldn't even tell what side was up. The under side use to be grey, now there doesn't seem to be a difference.
