What is it that you want the C-Hook to do? Could you maybe just use the reverse post processers if you just want to creat geometry?
-
This morning I started to try this again. What I have found interesting so far is that the surface I was trying to trim to was an offset NURBS surface. If I trim to the original surface it seems to trim perfectly. Well more playing to do.
-
It is a surface that basically has a curve in the xy plane and xz plane. Mayby think of it like a surface of a sphere.
-
That is correct. It is a compound surface. Which is different that what I have used in the past.

We use the Romocron head. It is very good and easy to use. Pretty pricey though. Also have you tried to use the metric system. You can sometimes cheat with using the metric system and make the part come back into tolerance. Give it a try sometime. [ 05-07-2002, 06:31 PM: Message edited by: heeler ]

Zero, Company policy prohibits me from letting this file out. I have the surface extending past the solid. I only created the curve to check the error between where the solid trimmed to and where the surface really is.
-
I am new to solids, I am trying to trim a solid to a compound contour, and it doesn't want to trim it properly. I can creat a curve where the surface and solid intersect and it will be .020 to .080 different. Help me please. I am using Mastercam 8.1.1

Well the problem is still here, it happens if I accidently pust the dynamic rotation icon. Does anyone have any other Ideas?
-
We also have intermitten problems with verify crashing. Many time if we will rotate the part a little bit it will then verify fine. Would like some help to "really fix the problem." Also if you change out of true solids or use a wireframe tool it will work sometimes.

Jeff, We have UG and have always used the parasolid converter. I have not seen any problems with doing it this way. What is supposed to be the advantage of the converter?
-
I can't seem to get the FTP working right. But a thought. Have you roughed it out to the stock that you are talking about then turn off the posting of that path and do a remachine on the next path. I have been very successful with this on using different types of extrusion parts. Good Luck.

We do this all the time. If you will take and name the view for your WCS then in your work offset put a 0 for G54 1 for G55 ect. You may also have to change your post.

I finally was able to get my systems guy to load the new drivers. It seems to have solved the problem. Thanks to eveyone for their info.
-
I also do finish passes and stay off the surface what I need to then just increase parameters to make it more of a roughing style. Then I can copy the toolpath setup and tighten the parameters for the final finish. Ops I mean off the surface.

If you are using surfaces, There is a Depthcut option that you can go in a specify what depths you want to cut at minimum depth, max depth and critical depths. I have elimated most air cuts with this manner and have been able to control where cuts would be when you come back to recut with a smaller finish mill. Also if you are using stock to leave make sure that you set the critical depths relative +Z the amount that you stay off the surface. Good luck

"Try running the ramsaver utility in the File menu. It has solved all kinds of problems for me in the past. " That didn't do the trick. I'll keep trying everything.
-
I don't think that this is a silly question at all, I would like to know the answer as well.

" I had a 3003 v8.1 Try esc,esc page down or alt f1. This worked with out haveing to reload. It's a little pain , vbut worth it." Tried but it didn't seem to work. Any other suggestions?
-
I am using a Spacetec Spaceball 4000flx. There are times when using mastercam V8.1.1 that it quits working. The only way that I can get it to start back up is exit mcam and start it back up. Any suggestions?
-
I use the alt-a auto save function. You can hit it and save at anytime and still be reminded to save periodically.
-
Explain what you mean by undercut?

I am trying this for the first time. I am from Grantsville, Utah. Could someone tell me what the Optimize check box does just below the Cutter Comp in Control does exactly? I've looked in all my books and can't find the explanition. I am using Ver. 8.1.1 Thanks
