Hi all,

GMCCS brings a new function to create a holder by selecting a center line and partial chain.

After that you can save it into a tooldb file. Very easy.....

Small movie is also attached

Hi "GCODE" the new machine simulation in X5 is from Moduleworks

Look here: www.moduleworks.com/partners.asp

Hi mig,

do you use the Moldplus SA Catia converter with MDB.

For testing rename the Verisurf folder..mcamxchooksverisurf

Start Mastercam again - You will see the Icons will be back

Hi David, try this first:

* Browse to "C:WINDOWSsystem32".

* Copy the three files MCBitmap.ocx, MCInt.ocx and MCReal.ocx.

* Paste them into "C:Program FilesCommon FilesMastercam". Be sure to backup the existing versions of these files before overwriting them.

Version 9 should now start correctly.

please check system configuration!

If there is a data path, switch "stock shape" to "File" delete the path and switch back to "Box"

Save configuration and restart MC

Hi guys,

please could anybody test the file below on OS WINDOWS XP 64and Mastercam X2 MR2?

Try to regenerate the engrave operation.

Download ENGRAVE.ZIP

May be we have a problem here in Germany with the German OS. If we regenerate the OP we receive an error message

Could anybody duplicate scenario?

We sent this file allready to CNC-Software but QC can´t duplicate it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Plyd /Thad,

into the upcoming release X2-MR2 you are able to pick "ALL SOLIDS" with the "QM-SOLIDS Function" before you start the surface function. Works well!

Pete,

use a bigger shading tolerance. If the part is large it´s good enough to see the details.

Hi all,

we found the problem! All the customers which had the problem use the same antivirus software!

It´s called "ANTIVIR" from AVIRA If the software

is closed the messege doesn´t come up!

So, it´s not a Mastercam problem!

Stefan

Hi Thad,

Sorry I forgot the "2"

ERROR OPENEING ..mcamx2commontemptmpedg2.tmp

Stefan

Hi guys,

does anybody know this error message during regeneration a milling operation?

ERROR OPENEING ..mcamxcommontemptmpedg2.tmp

I heard it frequently here in Germany the last weeks!

Thanks in advance..

I like my steak medium! Does it mean - it´s half done?

Hi RandleX X

with this tiny tool called PE-EXPORER it´s possible to change BMP´s icons cursors etc. into a resource DLL

But don´t tell anybody

Hi, there is only one tiny thing!

You have to create the viwes first before you are able to select them! This wasn´t in version 9!

This is a small backstep in X!

Hi Guys,

how is your experience about WCS in version X?

Any remarks, comments or known bugs?

Thx

Stefan

Does anyone tried to print different viewports in MR1?

Does not work!

We use a KONICA-MINOLTA Color-Laser-Printer

(Magicolor 3300)!

We never had problems printing colors in VX and

VX-SP1! After installing MR1 the option "color" is grayed out!

What a miracle!

We found the same issue here! That´s really a backstep against SP1!

Hopefully this will be fixed soon!

Hi Bruce

do you mean the small tools

ncdatasheet, tlist and Rename-NCI we had for version 9?

I think we have something ready for X

We have to test it into the US-Version!

Hi ligrow

Which version do u use?

9.2.058 - 9.2.059 are the latest ones!

There is a known bug! It crashes if you select

"isolate surfaces" for electrodes!

The workaround is: Click on Job setup first before clicking on isolate surfaces!

Hi mig,

what do you mean with Cimco?

The editor or the HSM-Performance Pack?

Doesn´t matter! Both is working in X!

Stefan

InterCAM Deutschland

Hi,

we have some customers with the same problems here!

Is there a fix planned for SP1?

Any comments from CNC?

Stefan

InterCAM Germany

Hi guys,

does anybody run in trouble after updating to SP1? Since we updated 3 NT maschines, mastercam crashes very often during copying operations into the OP-manager.

The Windows 2000 station works fine!

Any remarks??

By the way, what experiences did you make with SP1? e.g. using WCS? Process stability? Plotting? Varify?

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

Hi James,

u are right! I never recommend a ATI card!

But the price is highend (approx 1000 bucks)

We only work with NVIDIA cards!
