remember your bits to the parameters are read from right to left. bit "0" is on the right, bit "7" is on left.
-
parameter # 18 = 00100000 or 00100100. the 2nd bit (3rd from right is for adjusting feed magnification in one of the axis'. not sure which one. so you can leave it at 1 if you don't have any probs with it.
-
also check parameter 28 bit 0 , it should be a 1
-
within a thou, check parameter # 18 bit 5 (6th from the right) it should be a 1.
-
the command holders are also high quality now. I didn't care for them in the past but they have really adjusted to a higher quality than before. plus, their AMERICAN MADE.

it's set-up that way. it's not a level manager just views. it changes each view as you add or subtract from any other view. so what happens to one happens to all. hopefully in the future they do levels much the same way(as for tabs)
-
thanks Mark. at that point this is probably just a parameter that needs to be changed. not the whole board. it's a shame 'cause new to go from 80m to 320m is probably somewhere between $500-$1000.(for a parameter change)
-
yea but how many bytes is 320m of tape?
-
usb hasp here also. don't like the net-hasp even with multiple seats.

"edit error Warning- error opening C:PROJECT FILES.....POST401001.PIM (The dot-dots are the customer and I can't show their name)" Isn't this stating that your editor is not opening the file? I don't think it has anything to do with the post. I used to have this problem because X wouldn't allow cimco editor as your default editor. This has been fixed in mr1. Just make sure that it is looking in the correct location for the editor.

I just asked Kitamura about this same thing. They e-mailed me back stating that they can be upgraded to 320m of memory (whatever that means). The machines we have now, according to Kitamura by giving them the serial #'s of the machines, are supposed to have 80m on them. I know that 2 can hold 32k while the other one only holds 16k. Thay said fanuc had to give me a quote for this. However I have yet to hear back from them. It has been about three days now.

Mastercam Documentation Customer Survey
doyleg replied to Christine B from CNC Software's topic in Industrial Forum
i'm with saipem. Why can't we purchase these? -
are you using rapid retract? it's under your spindle speed in X.
-
I had a demo of E2 and it looked great. We were actually going to buy it but then the owner felt he could do his own program. That was 6 months ago. Still nothing to use. Another person in the shop had used jobboss and said that the E2 looked to be much more user friendly than jobboss.

Rotate your geometry without using your wcs so that the right side view becomes your top view

Thanks Midwest, I hadn't seen what the optimize toolpath was for I just knew that it was a pain in the arse for alot of my profiling and I generally hadn't used it because of it. I believe that it had to do with it completing a full path around part. I tried several things with the lead-in/out but still didn't like the code coming out. I will try it again now that I know more about it
-
Thanks guys. I do prefer on finishing passes to use control comp so that I can read the cutter path that is being cut. However I can't get rid of the arcs. As for Thad I'm only cutting aluminum. If it were steel I'd interpolate the corner. Plus I use a really good e.m. that doesn't chatter in the corners unless I'm cutting more than about 1.5" deep. I also have very little memory in the machine and I need to save all I can. I mainly just do prototypes so dnc'ing is not a feasible option. If this were for production purposes I wouldn't use control comp.
-
If i use a tool the same as the rad my program still spits out arcs. And if I want to leave stock so that I can sneek up on size I get a cutterr comp error because the tool radius is larger than the rad to be cut.
-
I was wondering if there is an easy way to disregard fillets inside of a pocket. I only want to "slam" the corner. Not interpolate it. As it is now I trim all corners. But with doing this I believe that it is going to mess me up in the future if I use change recognition. Any help is much appreciated. X2 MR1 LEVEL 2

2 1/2 years ago at a place that I used to work, I know that they used mastercam wire to pgm their Agies. I don't think they had to do anything special but I may be mistaken. I'll try to find out for you.
-
also , the mass copying(shift key) has been a problem since X came out for me.
-
About the ram saver, I have had probs with it losing operations and also rearranging the other ops so that I had to go back to the last time that I had saved it. It is a pain and also alot of wasted precious time. I do not use auto-save because it does interfere with what is currently being done. I do save after 1/2 an hour or so without the auto-save

murlin may have something. my biggest lagging problem is with solids (and everything i use starts as a solid model. this may be my main reason for lag.
-
running kasperski av here. but i have it turned off. still have same probs
-
another thing may be to use "computer" for your offset instead of "control". I use this exclusively with the chamfer option. I have had alot of probs with using cutter comp on the chamfer (usually a gouge somewhere) so I defined my chamfer mill tool to what it actually is and then used the chamfer parameters to adjust how much of a chamfer I want.
