I've noticed that when mastercam is running it uses 100% of the cpu the minute it is turned on and stays that way according to the task managers performance history. I checked the other cad/cam software packages we use and max usage was about 10%. Could someone explain to me what this is really telling me. Because (and it may not be related) I have seen mastercam do some strange and unexplainable things. Thanks

Thanks for the input Roger, Thats exacly what I was looking for.

Thanks Cheong, I did what you showed. but It didnt do it, I had to change it to fs2 2 0.5 0.5 and I only got 5 places on the values that actually ran out that far. The post dropped all trailling zero's. but this will work for what I'm doing. Thanks for the reply.

I would like to set up the generic mpfan.pst to post out to 5 decimal places. How is this done? Thanks

We are currently evaluating Mastercam's wire package. We are running with Esprit right now for our Mits FX10. We use Mastercam mill8 as our primary cam system and only have Esprit for the wire, cause of a recomendation. I am interested in anybodys expierences or opinions on Mastercam's wire package. Thanks Cwelter

Hi Jeff, We are running the same wire machine. Were you able to get a post the outputs the wire offsets and Epacks correctly? We are currently evaluating the mastercam wire package, to see how it compares to esprit. Any input you have would be much apprietiated. Thanks Chris
