  1. If MC didn't spend so much time processing, how would we find time for other things like coffee, newspapers, forums talking about MC...?
  2. Are u running out of memory, off a drive, or wire?
  3. Thanks piglet, that should work.
  4. I have a spline define by points. Is there a way to capture the points in a table? Thanks
  5. In the past I have always downloaded and burned to a CD; making it easier to upgrade multiple computers. I noticed this time the downloaded file was to small. So I told it to run from the website and it work. I really need the actual file to put on a CD to install on other computers (some are stand alones with no network or internet access).
  6. How accurate does it have to be? I know Mastercam, UG and ProE will not output a true 1:1 drawing. They all use a converter of some type which takes away from the accuracy. We keep an old version of IceM around just for this. We have to create overlays for our optic comparitors.
  7. I have. On seperate days and computers.
  8. mastercamx2-mr1-web.exe
  9. Hey guys, Downloaded the X2MR1 off the web site and when I try to run it it gives me a message: --Error reading setup initializion file.-- Followed by: --1158:-- Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
  10. If you put a "`" at the beginning of the machine def name it will put that machine at the top of the list. HTH
  11. I downloaded them yesterday. Went to install X2MR1 and it blew up right off the bat. Now it will have to wait til next week. Oh well.
  12. Thanks for the tip. I always try to backup and manually install any of my costomized files for this reason.
  13. Same here. We are currently using a v9 updated post on our 4x horiz Mori. At first we had the same prob. rotation was locked on A. Changed the machine def then worked fine. Can you share the fix? I would like to switch to the newer defs and posts. Thanks
  14. I only use solid toolpathing for the most basic. Surfaces has been much more reliable and accurate (for me), especially on multiaxis. Place your solid on one level, change levels, change color (I like the dark green), then go Create > Surface > Surface from Solid. IMHO
  15. I like to use the holeaxis.dll c-hook. You just select the inside of the hole and it creates a center axis of the hole. great for 5 axis holes.
  16. quote: Beacuse we have greater toolpath control. You can default to those settings if you wish by using the lead in/lead out settings. I whole heartily agree. I would much rather of the flexibility MC gives me with my toolpathes any day. If you can't do a siimple math problem, stay on the porch with Feature Cam.
  17. heeler, I did and no it doesn't. Plus, even if it did that would not tell me things like cost-of-living.
  18. What is the pay range, benefits, cost-of-living, etc. out there if I may ask?
  19. What is the pay range, benefits, cost-of-living, etc. out there if I may ask?
  20. The ground side of the circuit is very important, i.e.: cables, wires, mated surfaces, bolt threads... Also, are you using tap water or RO/DI water?
  21. What do you have selected in the Stock Recognition box in the toolpath perameters? I believe Disable Stock Recognition is the default.
  22. I found if I paint my tools orange I don't lose them as easily.
