Interesting, I can't find MI9 or Mi10 in my post, it stops at mi8.
And I usually keep the box checked that says "Automatically set to post values when posting" (just out of habit)
All the toolpath was, is a simple 2D contour ramp of a hole,but tilted at an angle using Top/usercreatedplane/usercreatedplane as my settings.
And the operator had the 3 jaw chuck scroll too far out so when it tilted and rotated the scroll hit the table and caused a servo error.
I just changed the angle range in the MachDef to 0/110 so it can't tilt in that direction any more. Not a huge deal I just wanted to find out why.
Thanks guys!
We have a Tsudakoma 3+2 5 axis table on our Okuma. The range is -30deg to 110deg.
Why does Mastercam prioritize the -30 deg over the 110deg? Meaning any move or cut that can be done within the -30 range it moves in that direction instead of just utilizing the 110 deg range.
I know it does, but I was under the impression that it doesn't do it efficiently.
I've had paths that take forever and a day to regen, and my stuff isn't near as complicated as a lot of people here.
I have no problem being wrong about this lol.
For example the i7 7700k has a clock speed of 4.2GHz, while the Ryzen has a 3.5GHz speed (approximate).
And since Mastercam doesn't utilize multiple cores all that well the fastest single core CPU will be your best option. At least until/if they ever fix that.
If we were doing video editing, 3D animation then Xeon and Ryzen would be far ahead.
I put one in my work computer here and the speed of file transfers is definitely very noticeable from just an SSD.
It's best for local files, so if you're doing a lot of transferring to and from a network you most likely won't see anything special.
As for the Ryzen 12c... I don't know how those compare to an Intel that has a really high clock speed. Mastercam likes clock speed. I do know that a high clock speed is faster than a Xeon in Mastercam (and about $1000 cheaper).
I thought CNC said on here a while back they were going to do a comparison when Ryzen first was released,but I don't think they gave the results or even tested it.
You can't let random internet strangers dictate your decisions.
No matter the product, there will ALWAYS be people that are unhappy with it.
Someone could cure all forms of cancer tomorrow and people will still post negative feedback on it for some reason or another.
Ahh if only it were quick and easy to delete a point that you selected. And yes it's still very much possible to select the non-center of an arc when you're going for the side of a solid hole. I've done it and scrapped a part because of that.
And when are we getting better window functionality for 2020? That tiny window is only "draggable" for like 3 more holes and doesn't remember size/position. You can't tell me this is the final version.
Yes the old way was FAR better, while I have adjusted to this way mostly, it was still much faster the old way as I made you guys quite aware of that on the official forum when the change was made.
I didn't realize it was cloud based, I assumed you could just download it onto your computer and enter a license code kinda like you do with Mastercam.
But then again it says cloud based right where I was looking. hah!
Yes there is a Chook for Mastercam,but they also have stand alone software to program it as well.
