I am using v9.0 with updates & Win 2000. Does anyone know if it works with this setup. I can't get anything but standard menu. And 100th Post !!!!!!!!!!

Got it Thanks

I have tried to download the file and Yahoo says it has moved. Anyone no what the problem is? Or can someone email me the file. Thanks

Think about this for vX. Most of the time when I do a pocket, I will rough it out with tool#1, then do a finish cut with tool#2. I will leave .003 amount of stock to leave and turn finish pass off. Then with T2 I will turn rough passes off. I want to use the same cutter comp "wear" on both tools. On T1 I am using only the rough option and don't have the option to turn cutter comp on. What am guess trying to say is i want to keep the amount of stock difference between rough and finish to stay the same. It's 3:30 am and my thought's are getting lost. Come on 7:00

Just trying my hand at this. I am truly amazed at all the things I learn on this forum!!! [ 06-04-2004, 03:15 AM: Message edited by: Rob ]

Hope thing go good for pappy-in-law. My prayers and thoughts are with your family. I have often wondered about the air that I breath in the shop. If you see anything that has sat around for a couple of months, there's always gum built up on it. You can look at the filters on the AC they are covered with gummy oil base after a couple of weeks. Well I have filters (lungs) also, but can't replace them once a month. I here that Europe is way ahead of the US on machining dry. Any true to this?

It's all good when we make fun of ourselves. As long as it's not at the expence of "Christ", as this wasn't!!!

Thats the problem!!!!!

Lst week I was having trouble trying to open SW2003 files. I was told to do an update. I did this today. I get an error warning when I go to post my program. This is the error: Warning -unsupported function call. Recompile with new m_*.h files, link with new m_*.obj files. Does anyone no what this means? Robert

Thanks Jimmy I will have owner call shortly. Thanks to all!!!!!!

What should I do load the file that Camfun put on the ftp or load SP2 patch?

I am running V9.0. Can I apply the above mentioned patches or will I have to do an upgrade to V9.1?

I'm having problem converting SW2003 SLWPRT files. I get an error saying there is no parasolid data located in the file. I'm trying to convert same as I have always done using SW2001. Does anyone have any idea what my problem is. I am running MC V9 Thanks

Thanks for the input. I am green at drawing with solids. I'm trying to learn the ins & outs, and the dos & don'ts

I am having trouble rotating enities that I have created in with solids. The part has the same features at 120 deg x3. I have drawn all the features that I need. Now I just need to rotate them 120 deg, equally spaced 3 times. I have uploaded a file to the ftp page :solidssolid tube.zip is the file name. Can you point me in the right direction. As I said before, the slot, pin, wheel and collet slot all need to be rotated 120 deg x2. Equally spaced 3 times.

YES!!!!!!!!!!! Fixed the problem with stinger. Thanks! I think this forum should be linked to the White House. I have yet to have a problem that this crew couldn't fix. We could only wish that was the way it worked in Washington. I can get by with a little help from my Friends!!!

I will run stinger in the morning to see if that works. Sounds like the problem

Hopefully some of you Brainacks can help with this question. I continue to get this error (svchost.exe) while I am on the net. I can be online for a time then get this alarm. After I get this alarm I have to completely shut my system down in order to download anything. When I reboot system I can download until I get this error. I have tried to get the windows updates for 2000 from microsoft web page. Before I can complete the download I get the error. It's a crazy cycle that I'm not able to win. I have replaced the file from another computer, didn't work, same problem. Can anyone tell me what this file does, or how to fix the problem. Oh I frgot to say I use "Granny Net" or dail-up as some call it. I know this isn't MC related, but it's driving me MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cad, I am running V9.0. We are waiting to move up to v10. I changed gap setting to smooth and add tangecial line to the toolpath and it worked great. All I need is a little help from my friends!!!!!!!!! "Beatles"

I am doing a finish flowline toolpath w/zigzag cut. The cutter is leavig a small lump at the end of the surface. How can I get rid of this lump without changing setting to oneway or extending my surface. Is there a solution to my problem. I am using V9.0 Rob

I haven't seen it, but probably will. Do you think that you will get much response to this movie here.

Thanks to all!!!!! I kept digging until I got something that worked.

I tried the oneway with parallel and it still does a postive z move. I tried 3d contour. It doesn,t do the positive z move. But it doesn't clean-up the cut surface in certain spots that do clean-up when using parallel finish. I'll keep working.

I chaged it to oneway and it still does the same thing. I am about to download Simon's file to see if his works.

I'm using win expl. I don't have any ftp software.
