  1. I can still click on the operations that are at the top still visible on the screen, just cant scroll down to the operations out of sight. Am I the only one with this problem?
  2. quote: Are you sure the Focus is still in the Operations Manager?yes, it seems to happen when i copy operations, and the only way to get it back is to restart mastercam, I guess im just lucky it still allows me to save my file before i restart. This hapens alot to me, I guess it must be somthing wrong with my install or somthing.
  3. Yeah you are right i was just looking at the wrong place. That does look alot cleaner, thanks alot bud
  4. Thanks, but when i go to print i dont have any options to turn shading off or hide hidden lines, i only have the option of colour or not. am i missing somthing?
  5. I cant pinpoint what is causing this but every once and a while i loose my scroll in operations manager. has anyone had this happen or has this topic already been covered?
  6. I had to download mine, i didnt have alot of them either, go to mastercam.com
  7. Im actully doing a setup sheet using solids, and even with my shading set to translucent the notes dont show up very well, is there a way to make your text stand out over the solids?
  8. I was just curious if I can set my shade setting independent on differnt solids. I want my tombstone to be translucent, and my parts to be solid. is this possible?
  9. Oh I see what you are doing now, what I had to do before is save my configuration to somthing then rename it to default.
  10. you can set your defaults to be set the way you want it
  11. Would I notice any performance diference if i was to go from my 80 gig 7200 rpm to a 74 gig 10k drive? would it be worth changing my drive?
  12. I have seen this but i think it was backshift messing around with my settings. when I got it back I saved my toolbar state so it wouldnt happen again. does anyone else use your pc?
  13. You can set you rotation cw or ccw in machine def manager
  14. I would probally use either a 2-d ruled or a finish flowline depending on required finishes
  15. I heard it was being reliesed early fall unless it has been pushed back.
  16. Yes maintence covers new relieses, I have asked my reseller, and he told me it was covered. Im looking forward to the new surface trim options and new toolpaths.
  17. Rob, Yes they look to be the exact same, Is mazak and meldas a similar controll, or just certain things?
  18. I got it, the varible numbers were actully in the machine book
  19. I have a part that I have to probe a few of the offsets, I set the first offset, and I want two other workoffsets to have the same Y value. I was told that I could do this by changing a macro varible to be the same as my first workoffset. I dont see any varibles for my work offsets. is there another way to update all offsets to have the same y value? the controller is a mazak 640m
  20. I had that problem monday on a surface, then I did it to a solid no problem. I could creat a edge on most edges, just seemed like 1 or to were giving me trouble, just assumed I had a problem with the surface so i re did it in a solid
  21. quote: I am having problem to surface a .500 Rad around a inside cavity 49 x 10" size with .25" rad corner I am curious why you are using a 3/16 ballnose to finish this part if there is a .25 corner rad, I would have to see the part to know what pass to use, I use flowline quite a bit, and high speed finish raster works well also. you may need a pencil tool path to get a better finish on the outside edges, I also use bullnose endmills as much as possible to finish my surfaces. they work alot better then a ballnose depending on the surface shape.
  22. Ok I didnt know you could do that, it still shows mc9 at 50%, so my pc at home must not be set up right or somthing
  23. quote: The only thing that solved this was copying the hard drive off of a pc that doesnt get the error to the one that does and it solved the problem do you mean to copy the entire drive, windows and everything? is there a program you used to do this or somthing?
  24. I was actully thinking about buying a hard drive to match the one in this computer and mirroring it with a raid utility. has anyone tried this and how does it work with mastercam? would that slow the system down alot? and is the backup easily accessable?
