  1. None of the conditional stops work in backplot for me. The stop at operation,at toolchange or stop at step number in the "set conditional stop" icon is what i'm using. I check "stop at operation" but it runs through all ops and toolpath groups. Any ideas?
  2. You need a program called Cimco edit. You can measure the toolpaths in the backplot window,then recreate the geometry in MC.
  3. We are looking for software that automatically develops a correct flat blank layout from a solid model. Pro fold is one. I was wondering if anybody had experience with this or knows of other software for us to look into. Thank you [ 03-11-2008, 10:42 AM: Message edited by: wfcPain ]
  4. Degmc, that's crazy talk. hehe Next thing would be the clearance plane check by default and set to 1 inch....It's a slippery slope we would be on. jking aside,i've gone thru the operations defaults and tool libraries and changed everything,worth the effort for sure.
  5. Which one should you choose? Should I be concern that the result will be different than the customers' model? Can i change my tolerances so i can import without taking these actions? If so How? Thanks
  6. Did you copy the geometry between ops and choose retain depth values? If you did, just choose no to retain and that field will be accessable.
  7. I appreciate the help, I have no problem sending the file into qc,but i'm afraid they cant reproduce what i'm seeing. Resellers are on vac.
  8. I'm confused. Are you saying i have to name the level or shifting levels is common. I named level one and when i open the dxf file the name of level one is now the name of level two. This is a real problem because of the omax waterjet software is not picking up the different levels. Saving as .dxf,iges and .dwg have same results.
  9. After drawing geometry on level one,I save the file as .dxf. When i open the .dxf file up, the geometry is on level 2. Level two is named unnamed level 1 There is also unnamed level 1003. Both of these were not there before the save. Any Ideas?

  12. When you choose circle mill toolpath and choose arc center, the field for circle dia diameter is ghosted out to the diameter of the circle. This happens sometimes when you choose a point on a arc center.It ghosts out the field.Is there a setting to change this? If it puts it in there thats fine but whats the reason for it ghosted out?
  13. To change background and font color Thanks Günther
  14. It back plots correct using wear comp. Using control ,it does not back plot correctly. I dont think it's a graphic card issue. I'm getting the same result as you.
  15. The original post was in in may 2004 .I was wondering about the v.card.Is it still a good line of card? FX3000 $269.00
  16. The FX3000 was $1300 ,now it's $279 Newegg link Any one have this card? How do you like it and what drivers are you using?
  17. In op manager click on chain,Right click on chain in the chain manager,start point/dynamic
  18. You Might Try this. Start Menu/control panel/Mastercam X Utility/ Uncheck > Show Splash Screen At Startup
  19. I get that error also. You are not alone. The compensation type menu was all ghosted out except for computer. I tried a contour and got that error message. Restarted mastercam and it was fine. Frustrating...
  20. code: sextnc$ doc # -.NC extension override string This is the only line that i'm seeing.It does output as a .doc file but mcam editor opens it.
  21. Is there a way to have my setup sheet,created with a .set file,to open in wordpad instead of the mcam editor?
  22. The default maximum is 10000 RPM. How do i change the maximum RPM to 7500.
  23. That happen to me .I resolved it by deleting a file in the mastercam folder.and it fixed it. I think it was toolbars.atb in the C:mcamxcommoneditorsmastercam.When editor restarts it rewrites that file.
