  1. fast blank does this. it is meant form blank estimating from form parts. if it is simple 90 degree bends solidwork now can unfold them.
  2. try defining it as a bullmill with a 2" od and .031 corner rads.
  3. make sure in the catia translator options you have import solids selected.
  4. i get the same as gcode not a circle in cimco editor backplot.
  5. Quadro FX video card, welcome to the forum. If you do a search of video cards in the forum there is information coming out of the wazoo.
  6. like wise thanks, John. I saw it work at a user group meeting last week but don't know how they did it?
  7. is it true that xp32bit only sees 3MB of ram? am I better of installing XP64bit. I am using Mastercam X3. TIA
  8. the max i can have is 5 open and that is it. I have 4GB of ram installed, it handles 4 sessions no problem
  9. let me know then. Thanks Keith
  10. same problems here. i select the geometry and set all views correctly and it wants to machine out in space? WTF
  11. there is a single chain selection option in the selection box. third icon on the right side it is shown as a line.
  12. i think there should be an fix for this so you can tab through sessions like solidworks and not opening new ones all the time, sometimes i have 4-5 files open at a time.
  13. I never understood why when I open up another session of mastercam cam do I get this warning? Is there any way to not have it pop up?
  14. welcome to the forum.if need some help click on the help icon at the top of your screen and search for restmill it is helpful.
  15. thanks for the info Thad, I will be doing this
  16. that was so easy i feel stupid. thanks guys.
  17. after installing X3 my tool library has been funny. I get get the diameter of the tools to show up, am I missing something in a setting or what?
  18. can not use stick letters, that is why you get an open chain error. if you need to use thew text that you've created try offsetting it by .002 then close the chains.
  19. i use X3 never have had any problems with circular interolation with my fanuc post or seimans.
  20. you should use a metric tool library only for backplot purposes, i've programmed in inch and used a metric tool and when i backplot it the tool looks bigger then the block.
  21. i see nothing wrong with it, especially if the shop is slow.
  22. try www.jergensinc.com or www.carrlane.com they both sell good fixturing items
