J.Keilman, The way you it fine, but you need to know tool Dia. and don't have change to control Dia offset. I do similar idea with you, but I create a circle same as the finish diameter plus spiral with the correct step over and use contour with comp. = Wear and turn off " infinite look ahead ". You can use lead in/out if you want to. ____

Both Solid and surfaces work the same on HSM, but I prefer Solid.

Thad, I tried it out and got same problem. The option "depth filtering" feature doesn't work. I use Mask on arc > window , it pick all arcs, doesn't matter what depth.

Setting > Config > CAD settings ... There are some option in this parameter

Thanks Glenn, and thanks everyone with yours opinions We hope it will fix in near future Thanks

We got same problem here, and we found the way to get around for now. Set as ccw and take out - (minus sign) in spindle speed, You will get M04 Pat

With Mpmaster Post. We send the tool home for any of rotation Pat

We did a lot of jobs same as you asking. What we do: Set up T/plane normal to line then Toolpaths > Circle paths > Circle toolpath pick a point. In Circmill parameter enter Dia in Circle Diameter box, Set the Depth = 0 and incremental Pat

Thanks

Printing viewports (two or more views in one page) Does it work in X MR2 ? Qmp

Somehow your post setup not right for feedrate (*fr) some canned cycles use *fr, some use pplunge Change *fr = pplunge, You should be fine and contact your reseller for new post. Pat

Today I got crash on my computer, I test same file on the other 4 computers. the same problem occured. The file in ftp site MCX_files/4 AXIS TEST.MCX Part is a restangular block, just mill and drill four sides, using T/plane and C/plane with fixture offsets for each sides. when I open in McamX and go to File/New or click on icon New file, MasterCam crashing. " The memory could not be "read" The strange thing the file is fine, I can backplot, verify and out put NC files and keep go on..., no problem happen. It only crash when I hit Icon New Somebody Can dupplicate it? Use: X MR1/WinXp Sp2/Geforce FX 5700 Pat
