everytime i try this c-hook it runs for a while then gives me a "not enough memory" error and I have to ctrl alt del to kill it. am I doing something wrong?
-
you need to rotate your Cplane first then do your toolpath. if you rotate your part the cplane is still top. If I understand you correctly. welcome to the forum. I went to school at Penn College a few years ago
-
A lot of times the depth of cut will be deeper than length of the tool, I have seen that error a lot for this reason.

my program was not trying to do a helix. it was straight 2 axis arcs and it was giving me i's j's and k's randomly even though everything said to give it r values.
-
I started out with the generic 3 axis fanuc post. the parc section is different and no matter what i set my control def to, it put r's and i's and j's.
-
I had the same problem with a mycenter post. I ended up editing the parc section of the post. I got rid of the if/else statement and left it with only the section that outputs R's. send me your post and I'll see if I can make the same change to yours
-
just tried it to make sure and it worked.
-
jmparis, have you tried holding done the control key while in the "only" window and check marking lines and arcs?
-
I have reported a few things but got no response. I did not expect to here anything though.
-
your C:mcamxcommonprmopmgrdisplay.prm file isn't set as "read only" is it??
-
go into your group manager and see if it put your imported geometry into a 'group'. if so just delete the group name or set the group to use entities original colors and all will be well corby
-
I noticed that too. Hopefully we are just missing something simple....

When I move my cursor into or out of the graphics window my computer stalls for about 25 seconds. I can change views without any pause. It only does this on this one file (no I can't show it to anyone), and does it on three different computers. Ayn Ideas???

When I import a Parasolid it comes in RED.

go to groups and see if there is a group in there. if so delete it out of the group manager, and it should go back to its original color -
For anyone interested in my solution to this. I ended up modifying my post in parc section so there is no i, j , or k output only radii. My control def is set to put out Radius only and now my post doesn't give it a choice either. I test ran my part using Flowline and Parrelel and all looks good. thanks for the help guys!

I've been looking too. In V9 we used Camaix, but they are not ready for X yet. I'm currently trying to talk the bosses into buying one from In House Solutions.
-
That is the generic post that came with X. I saw that section but got lost real quick trying to decipher it. I'll look at the mpfan...

Time to give up today. I can't even get my e-mails to go thru today. I sent them again. If it doesn't work this time I'll back up ten yards and punt (tomorrow).
-
Pual, I sent the e-mail I have since changed the control def to output only I's J's and K's and then switched to a parrellel tool path. thought everything was good until my tool and holder buried itself in the part. Thank god it was only aluminum. time for a beer or 6.... Thanks for looking Corby
-
I set all the arcs to "delta start to center" and the program ran. Hopefully someone figures out how to get all radii.
-
they are all set to radius. I am playing with the arc error settings in the last box on that page now. If I check them all I don't get J' and K's. I'm trying to narrow it down now to which one is causing this edit: never mind, it was just putting them further down in the program
-
Paul I sent you an email too, it is putting a G19 (YZ plane). I only pasted the section of the program where the machine alarmed out, which is also where the first j's and k's came out. thanks corby
-
I sent you an email, no access here. When I post the toolpath it doesn't start doing this untill approx line 161 or so..... Thanks for taking a look Corby
-
I agree, it is very strange. this is the generic 3 axis post that came with X. I can't seem to find any settings that would do that, but I suck at posts
-
I'm posting code for my second time using X. I have a surfacing toolpath with the filter on. My code is coming out like so.. G2 Y-7.611 Z-14.165 R8.837 Y-6.117 Z-12.317 J0. K0. Y-4.158 Z-10.917 J0. K0. Y6.117 Z-12.317 R8.92 Y7.611 Z-14.165 J0. K0. my machine alarms out at this point. the alarm has to do with I's, J's and K's. It is a fanuc control. How can I get the post to stop outputting I's J's and K's?? Tried looking in the post and in the control def. Think I looked too hard and confused myself.....
