When I look at the job classified section I’ve noticed that some of the big company they use Catia & ProE, I think they pay pretty good for the CNC programmer. I was wondering if those (Catia & ProE ) any powerful and as easy to use as Mcam? Is Catia similar to Solidworks?

------------QUOTE FROM ME------------------ I would to see the "AutoCursor" of [Origin, Arc center, End point, Perpendicular, Midpoint, Intersection, Tangent, Quadrant, Nearest]with a touch of a keyboard like AutoCAD does. [big Grin] For example: to turn on Autocursor in autocad Shift + Right Click Intersection [Cheers] Shift + Right Click Midpoint [Cheers] --------------------------------------- Stupid me, I didnt know that you can KEY MAPPING, assign Right Mouse button method the way you wanted until "Milling Man" told me. My problem solved thanks MasterCAM X for creating that Thanks "Milling Man"

Thanks MillingMan I didnt know that you could key mapping it. thanks for tips it make my much life easier.

i guess you guys are right, if my boss doesnt wanna change it i'll pay for it by myself. i'm sick of this editing. thank guys

We use Norton Commander to send to Fanuc Control,norton commander wont send the file under these type of file (txt,nc)

Whenever I finished programming a job, the post processor output NC file type [example: T.NC or T.txt] so I use Norton Commander program to edit the NC (or txt) file to T file 1. Post processor output : T.NC (or T.txt) 2. I use Norton commander to open [post.NC] and then save the file as T (file) format [notice the NC or txt has been removed] 3. and now I can transfer to the T (cnc file) to Fanuc control Is there any other way without using Norton commander. Does any1 know what i'm talking about thanks in advance

Thanks John

I guess i have to ask my boss for the disc to reinstall the software again.

No, i dont want to removed the mastercam x, i just want to reconfigure the setting to original. cause i i did alot of configure change and now i just want to reset it. HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS

qoute: ------------------------ Alt+ works for me. --------------------------- Me too, i hardly use icons command even in Autocad i've always been a "WORD COMMAND" fan.

(retract) N0106 Z2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example NPT threading: 1.500 11.5 NPT [OD NPT] N0100 G0 X2.1 Z.02 (retract position) N0101G92 X1.8528 Z-1.65 I.0522 E.08696 (start taper threading) N0102 X1.838 I.0522 N0103 X-1.838 I.0522 N0104 G0 X2.1013 Z2.0 (retract) Will this work on Miltronic machine if I program like that?
