  1. Well I noticed my Space Pilot Pro drivers were pissed off so I uninstalled and reinstalled the 3Dconnexion device and bam!!!! Went back into MC and shes working smooth as silk. Thanks for the help Guys!! Have a great day.
  2. Oh yeah restarted MC...restarted PC...reinstalled X+....reinstalled MC. Its very strange....The hard drive died on this pc and I just reinstalled everything on a new drive. I even thought maybe it was due to something not being updated. Went through all hardware updates and its still the same.
  3. Also its acting odd on how the picture shows up on the setup sheet.... normally when i would create a setup sheet.... I would click screen fit and then generate a setup sheet from X+ and the picture looks just like it does in mastercam. But now when i do that same thing the screen shot doesnt have the part centered and its zoomed in too far. So then I have to go back and zoom out in mastercam so the entire part is in the screen shot picture on the setup sheet.
  4. Hello Gunther, Thanks for responding so quickly.. I do see the screen flash white just before the setup sheet comes up but the picture has the black background that Mastercam has set. Not sure what I should look for??
  5. Yeah I know I can use other methods for a screen shot with white background but this is happening when I make setup sheets with x+ that need printed out. Thanks for the tip on Verisurfs free addon.
  6. Having an issue.... been using X+ "which is great!!" Installed Mcam 2017 and X+ but every time I create a setup sheet with X+ the background color is what ever mastercam is... its not changing to white. Any ideas???
  7. I did notice that if you backplot inside of the verify screen menu it works, but if you try to use the backplot in toolpath operations manager it wont???? kind of odd.
  8. When I backplot a simple drilling operation and step it thru, it jumps from the Clearance height striaght down to programed depth. Doesnt pause at the retract height and then onto final depth of hole. But when you display path it does show rapid down to retract height and then feed down to bottom. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks
  9. I really like the new Optirough path, but the issue I am having is when I try to use the steep/shallow to force path to start above the geo "because stock size" it will generate a path but it stops at the top of the part in Mastercam and wont go any deeper. If I disable steep/shallow it starts just above the model and creates a great looking path roughing the entire part. Anyone else seeing this?
  10. Sounds crazy but has anyone seen the RPM drop down and then cut a few passes and then pick back up and continue. Will optimize cut order have anything to do with this?? I have checked posted file for change in spindle command but found nothing. Only see spindle command for programmed rpm. Any thoughts??
  11. No matter what I seem to do I cant get x3 to read the corner smoothing radius for a high speed pocket pass. But if I do it in x2 it works just fine. All setting are the same. Any thoughts????
  12. everything is working great! Thankyou Gunther, I dont know what I would do with out X+ Thanks.
  13. You Should have mail...hope this helps Thankyou!!
  14. Very Nice, Thank you Gunther. The only thing we have noticed so far is that when you create "Tool List" for more than one drill it seems to output drill tip angle "118" for the depth, but if you create a tool list for just one drill its ok. Thought that was a little odd.
  15. Has anyone else noticed when pulling up a viewport is shows the gview correct but when you print it changes all views to top...
