Your welcome............

Look at the help section examples for solids.

There is that LITTLE noise again...

Did anyone hear a Keebler go by?????????

Sorry Murlin I opened a old thread for this........I opened a new one for future searches....

Chipped 1 flute on the 2nd hole........hit the bottom. Around $85 for the tap........cheap for the time it saved. Thanks Trev EXO CARB-VX Taps Old Thread Linky.......

Tried messing with this instead of using X+ to post to a different machine. "Selecting a different post processor—machines with multiple posts" Got it to work, BUT, it messes up the "Project Manager" when you use it, and you have to pick the path to where you want your file to go. Anyone else having this problem and do you have a fix for it...... Question #2 When you push the G1 button. How to you get this check box "Select Post"to turn on when you push the post button?????? This would be a nice place to pick the post I want if I could get it activated......... Thanks

what post are you using????? Maybe put your file on the FTP.

HTH means Hope This Helps

You must have something else turned on, this should only give you a M01 @ the beginning of the operation, not for multiple depths inside of an operation.

Pete I converted several old files to X and they merge OK now..............Thanks

Took a while to remember........... I think this is what you are looking for. click on change NCI button Click on force tool change Do this on each operation you want a tool change at. HTH

Pete, I believe they are V9 and older files, I will try converting them to X and then try merging. Since I could still read them I just haven't taken the time to convert them. They are small files SHCS, flat heads, shoulder bolts, waterlines, eye bolts, ejec. pins, tunnel gates, ect. Just a small library of stuff I use in mold designs over and over. Off til Monday Have Good Weekend Thanks Pete

Thanks 3rd String Has this been sent in by anyone as a bug???????

Just wonder.......when I do a File Merge with "X2 MR1 SP1" all the levels turn on, Kind of Annoying. Has this been fixed with X2 MR2?????????? I'm trying to get our maintenance $$$$$ so I can get X2MR2.
