  1. want to set light mode 3 as default in X8
  2. Cant seem to click and drag some of the icons out of the general selection toolbar as in all the other toolbars
  3. Radius doesn't come along when creating a new lollipop, just had dia, and would like to change color for only certain lines that start with "//S"...... both in X7
  4. Would like to post out taper angle, along with rest of tool geometry, from taper tool , just not sure what the "code" would be, for example: *tldia=tool diameter , *tcr= tool corner radius.... etc.....
  5. just hybrids and waterlines mostly. We did delete all the regen files and made sure the config is setup to delete those automatically. Not sure what that file coulda been, i dont see it on any of our other 5-6 computers.
  6. We have a programmer here who ran out of memory on his computer while using x6, with only a 1 month old computer. Our IT guy tracked down a MEM file which was several GB big. Just wondering what that file is for?
  7. Quadro Fx 1800 card 259.12 version
  8. I am having some trouble with the viewports, I have no trouble when viewport 1 is set to entire screen, but as soon as I choose one of the other options and move the cursor from one view to the other, the sketch dissapears and the views flash to white, back to normal, back to white. Dependant on where the cursor is. Auto highlighting and hardware acceleration turned off does not solve this problem.. Any other info out there would be very apprectiated Using mastercam4 and Windows 7 Thanks
  9. I am having the same problem, however having both auto highlighting and hardware acceleration turned off does not solve this problem.. Any other info out there would be very apprectiated Thanks
  10. hello, This is what i have in my post, looks like it is setup correct.

  11. when selecting peck drilling in x2 we still always get a g81 instead of g83. Using MPROTULTRA.PST for a hurco. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
  12. Why is toolpath display option ON automatically, after creating a new toolpath, and is there an option to shutting this off, other than alt-t or the new icon after the toolpath is already displayed. Thanks
  13. I know there are a couple topics in here about problems with posts outputing more than 360 degrees for an indexing head, but I seem to still have problems dialing it in. I would like to edit my MPFAN post for our indexing head to stay 0-360 so it doesn'nt have to unwind itself. We are on v9 still, any ideas would be appreciated. This is part of our post, which the little I know seems like it should work. Direction is shortest, and there is a line in the there to keep range between 0-360 ? pindxcalc #Index move calculations, direction is shortest #Check if in tolerance cdelta = frac abs csav /ctable if cdelta > ixtol & cdelta < 1-ixtol, result = mprint sindxerror cdelta = prvcabs - cabs #Phase shift delta 10 revolutions, check odd/even if frac int cdelta + 3600 /180 /two , indx_mc = one else, indx_mc = zero #Set range 0-360 indx_out = csav while indx_out < 0, indx_out = indx_out + 360 while indx_out > 360, indx_out = indx_out - 360
  14. When either windowing or zooming in, using Mastercam X we are often receiving a referenece memory error at "0x3f800000". The memory could not be "read". Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or if it may possibly be our computers. (Graphics or Ram). Thanks for any help.
