A few years back I had some issues with cad files from Solidworks and it was caused by a setting in Solidworks called "draft quality" HLR/HLV Our engineering department had this set at low quality in Solidworks to save server space. Because of this I was getting low quality files when I would inport...

My Dell XPS 8300 I7 3.4 GHZ with a Nvidia Quadro 600 did the benchmark in 43 seconds. -
Would need to edit the field and I dont know how to do that.

I would add the "insert" field at the top of the selected fields and that will give you a box to check off at the left side of your sheet.

So my reseller is telling me there are only a few toolpaths that support undercuts I was wondering about that...
-
gcode: the material is HRS and the tool is K-Tool inserted carbide. Greyman: this is just a boss on a much larger part so turning isnt an option. I can finish the undercut area with surface finish contour. I would like to rough with a surface rough or surface high speed but I'm not having much luck...

Need to rough out an undercut area on a part with a t-slot cutter. What's a good surface toolpath to do this? And while I'm asking whats a good finish toolpath to use for this? Part is attached. Thanks John

We also use wireless Cimco dnc-max with Moxa boxes hooked to rs-232 ports on 20 mills and 2 wire edms. This setup has worked very well for us.

Transfer all X5 config, settings, Mach Def etc. to new computer?
John@WMM replied to Leehound's topic in Industrial Forum
I copied the following folders from my XP work files to my Win 7/64 home machine. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\shared mcamx5\CNC_MACHINES C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\shared mcamx5\config C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\shared mcamx5\MILL C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\shared mcamx5\WIRE I also setup my toolbars with each new version of Mastercam. -
I use solids-layout and create-turn profile for getting 2d geometry. The create-turn profile will usually give me better 2d geometry than solids-layout

#2c Has excess material for holding the part been considered? (IE Lathe might need part off stock, Mill Might need excess to hold in Vice, Can staggering parts save material, and etc....? This is a big deal in our wire edm machines. We profile cut parts from blanchard ground bar stock all the time. "management" will wonder why I want an extra lenght of 2" for the material. Well you have to hold on to something...
