Tried messing with HST function already. It slows it down in the corners but not on the full cuts. Does it slow down for you? Because if it is then maybe im not getting my stock set up right.

ok i tried slot milling and i couldnt get it to do what i needed. And with edit toolpath you would have to find and edit the feed on each pass on each level which wouldnt be very productive. Any other ideas?

With toolpath editor can you edit all the full cut passes at once or would i have to edit them on each depth cut?

We are trying to rough a pocket and the first pass takes a full cutt with the endmill and I was wondering if there was a way to slow down the feed rate on passes that are taking full cutts. I know HST will slow it down in the corners but the pocket is open on the ends so the corners dont need to be slowed down. If anyone knows how to make just passes that are taking those large amounts of material slow down then your imput would be much appreciated. I tried messing with the stock under HSt hoping it would recognize those passes but maybe im doing something wrong because i cannot seem to get it to work. Thank you.

We are currently running mastercam X2 at our machine shop and we store our MCX2 files on a server so if a different programmer needs to they can access them. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or knew of a way to make it so either it notifies you that someone has the current file open elseware. Or make it so only one user may have the file open at the same time. My gaol is to prevent someone from accessing a file and making changes and saveing it at the same time someone is making a different change. Thank you.

Does anyone have a chook or a VB script started that helps organize imported parasolids onto specific levels and changes specific attributes such as line and surf colors. exm. imports first blocks surfs to lvl 10 the lines to lvl 11 and changes colors so they are easier to see. puts notes on lvl 12 and splines on 13. next block skips 10 lvls and puts surfs on 20 lines on 21 ect.....

Amazing. I would have spent weeks looking for that. Fixed the 4 place decimal issue. Cheers.

I was wondering what was the easiest way to change the X+ setup sheet to display the tool diameter four decimals out. With its current configuration it outputs anywhere for one to two decimals out and sometimes rounds up when not desired.
