Thanks for all the help guys. Here is what I ended up with. AREA-PEELMILL.MCX-5
-
Is it possible to have a high speed contour tool path?
-
That looks good. I can't seem to use area milling. Is "area" a type of geometry???
-
Red area is the part. Green areas are to be removed. All else is open space. Thanks. AREA-PEELMILL.MCX-5
-
I would like to remove material from the surface areas with 0.035" passes but don't want to make a full contour or the first 20 passes only touch 20% material. I don't know how to take advantage of area chaining selection. I can't seem to create areas for selecting. If that makes any sense. Wasn't able to add a picture so please see attachment.

Well thanks guys. I set my WCS to top and it laid it out nicely. I don't understand why it does but it does. Thanks again.
-
I've played with the ANSI & DIN layouts but in both cases the drawing is a mirror image of the solid. I end up mirroring the layout to respect want I need. I am using multiple WCS. I'll try translating my solid to the original coor. system to see if that helps.

Morning guys, I'm trying to layout a solid model to make a drawing in X5 The layout I get seems to be a mirror image of my solid and I can't figure out why. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Victor
-
Well, if I didn't have superstitions before I do now. Thanks guys. Old topic, good to revisit...
-
Merci.

I had a hard time finding this the other day as well. Hard to search FTP when you must have more than 3 letters in a word.
-
I can't seem to convert the file. Is it just me? Can anyone else try? Please and thank you.
-
Sweet. Thank you.

So... After 10 years (last time someone posted in this topic) is there a way to use G95 for all milling in mastercam?
-
I like to search old topics before starting a new one but that doesn't mean I can't be thankful for the help I find. Thanks guys. Hope this puts an end to my clipping headaches.

I've just found out that you can control the start point of a thread in a G92 cycle using a "Q" value in .001 increments. This controls the "C" position start point without changing your "Z" position start point. The only problem is "Q" has to be on every subsequent line of the threading cycle or you end up with a double start. Anyone know if this is possible in a "G76" or any other threading cycle?
-
Thank you sir. M261 did it. Cheers

Trying to figure out what conditions need to be met in order to change gears on this machine in memory mode. I can change gear in manual mode but not in memory or MDI. I've tried M5 P11 M34 M41 P11 and M43 P11 but the control seems to be waiting for certain conditions I can't think of. Anyone know? Thanks
-
This is good stuff. Always finding better ways to do things. Thanks guys. Does anyone know if it's possible to do this type of roughing in a canned cycle?
-
Would be something similar but it would be an ID driver rather then face. They are not spring loaded either. The hss bars run alond the edge of the centers taper and bite into the ID. I might have to re-design one from memory.
-
Hi guys, I was trying to find a specific type of drive center I've used in a previous shop but can't seem to find anything online. This was a custom made tool that was held in the chuck and drove the part from the ID with 3 HSS bits mounted along the taper of the center. Maybe someone knows the proper name for this type of center. I can't seem to find anything. Thanks.

A sticky topic is one which the forum host has decided to "stick" to the top of the forum so that it will not fall down the list.
-
Horizontal you say? So your rotary axis mounted to the pallet or tombstone?
-
I find that the backplot time becomes less accurate when you're surfacing. I've also found that when you're tapping and you have you feed set to IPR it throws the time way off. Are you tapping in theses programs? If so try backplotting without the tap and see what you get.
-
I can't seem to find "createboundary.dll" should it be with the other C-hooks?
