MIll 3 without soilds will machine exactly the same as if you had solids. Solids justs give you the ability to create and alter the solid.
-
Not particularly, but H ave a trackman optical wheel mouse( trackball). I wound up returning it because in Mastercam the movement got really slow. Although in all other applications it worked fine.
-
You absolutely must create your .STL in TOP,TOP,TOP regardless of what view the T/C planes are machining.
-
I t is a little involved. Just use you WCS T/C planes and always create the .STL file in Top,TOP,Top. This is the key if you create the file in any other view it will be all screwed up.

settings configuration screen

Thad are you sure you have "use free mode in dynamic spin checked". (this is not in the view manager.)
-
Thad it is definetly the use free mode in dynamic spin that is causing your problem. System config/screen/ on the right hand side you will see it make sure it is checked. That will stop the flipping. What is happening is it is reverting back to WCS top when you try to dynamic spin.
-
you could also creat a surface from a solid under create/ surface from solid
-
you can toolpath it, but you can't move it in an xform
-
works fine over here,and it doesn't matter what cplane I am in either when I go to pick the geometry
-
?????????????????????
-
The question is what defaults are screwed up? the toolbars,colors,default machine. There is very little parts of the software we can customize. You need to give me a little more info.
-
The key is that you choose PLANES / Geometry then choose the two lines. You must pick a positive X then a positive Y. If you are picking say the back left corner of the part you only have Positive X and Negative Y. What I do is creat a rectangle of any size in that corner in a positive positve quadrant.I can then just force the rectangle to a different layer and turn it off. So to sum this up you probably have your view rotated 90 or -90 degrees. This is due to the fact that you chose something other than X+,Y+ anything but this will give you undesirable results.

Ye sit will not stay unless you change them in system configuration, not control def.
-
A strict rule of thumb is to always make your .stl in top top top. If you don't you will get alien morphs.
-
At the bottom is a exclamation point for configuration of the op. defaults Changes here are global to all machines that use for instance the mill inch ops. So this way if you change here it is applicable to all machines that use the mill inch ops. file
-
Properties file in the ops manager
-
try setting the cutter compensation to computer for all operations. I've been told that when you backplot this way the times are realistic. If you have wear or control on they are not accurate.
-
Does no one read the whats new files. All the goofy niner so called hot keys are in MR2. Right -click auto cursor enable power keys alt toggles the keys they are then underlined in the main menu pulldowns.
-
Also it will not respond when you post unless you have the edit box selected. it will just create the code and you will never see it.

John In my classroom we have purchased 6 new machines for training. Every one of them had to have the driver rolled back. Something possibly in conflict. ? Try an older driver from a different Nvidia roughly the same just an older version
-
the COrrect way is indeed Machine definition control definition tool (page) by default it is set to from tool check add to tool, then change the default 30's to 0's and then all is good
-
Are you sure that you have "output nc comments toNC file checked in your files page in your job set-up. Also your ribbon bar is windows based either drag the tool bar back to the right, or delete (C:/MCAMX/CONFIG)the mastercam.mtb and mcamx.config files. restart mastercam and you will get an error. clOse mastercam again. Go back to the folder and rename the default.mtb file to mastercam.mtb and then restart mastercam it will now look the way it did on a fresh load.
-
Alright then, Perhaps CNC fixed the issue. so do those xeons really clip or what?
-
what version of MC are you using?
