When I import an .IGS file, I get a message, or maybe it is a tooltip, box that tells me how many surfaces were imported. Nothing I do will get rid of it, closing X and restarting is the only way I have found to get rid of it. Am I missing something?
-
Perhaps some of the solid milling training tutorials from somewhere could get you started?
-
200 plus surfaces in this case, actually kinda small for me. Best so far is to go back to V9.
-
Try the Do-All Companies. Supply 90% of our tooling.
-
Oh well, I love going from one software to the other anyway
-
Analyse/Surfaces/Curvature/Surfaces/All surfaces has been removed from X, what is equivalent? I need to analyze a cavity and determine smallest radius so I can choose cutter. TIA
-
If you have toolmakers you can talk to sit and by'em a cup'a joe and listen to what they have to say, if not call your tool rep he would be a great source for this information (if he is worth his weight in salt)

What type of erros?
-
Is this a true bowl shape? We do cavities very similar to bowls in our headrest tooling. Use surface rough pocket and surface finish scallop very effectively. Running in 6061AL, but we run a lot of 4140 in other parts. In AL I could do this cavity in about a half day depending on shape.
-
Me neither.
-
IF the problem is faceting on part, you may need to set linear tolerance to a smaller setting.

% of people using X for cavity machining in toolmaking
New Job replied to darren's topic in Industrial Forum
I've found X to be as good or better at handling any surf/solid you can throw at it. I do wish it was easier to modify some surfaces, but is still far cry better than my alternative (MCAD). We use it for 3/D machining of mold cavities and have not had any complaints about how fast it would process a file. -
Oops ...further ...

Thanks John, Colin. That is just what I needed. No furtheer posts required.

WinXP Pro XMR2 When I try to post more than one op they all get posted to different files. How can I change this?
-
Thanks All. I believe this to be the only software I have ever seen that does this. CNC Should fix this.
-
I noticed some settings were not right when I updated to MR2 as well.
-
Seems to be worse since I installed MR2.
-
oops ... day.
-
It happens to me a couple of times a day>

Hi everyone, hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere. When I minimize my X-mr2 window and then some time later, maximize the window, the toolbars are all lined up on the left side of window in a single column. Very annoying. Anyone else have this problem?
-
Will the resulting cavity remain closed? If not, perhaps you can make an access to the interior solid by extruding a hole that will give you access. If it will remain closed, you may then be able to delete the extruded hole.
