Need help!! I changed my background color from dark blue to white in MC6. When I changed it back to dark blue I can no longer see the highlights of the geometry I'm creating. example: if i'm creating a line, i click on the start point and before I click on the end point I don't see the preview of the line. Maybe I changed something else, but I'm not sure. The highlights used to be kind of white color on dark blue background. The highlights now is almost the same color as my background. Now, no meter what background color I change to, the preview changes with it. How to change it back??? Thanks.

thanks John.

Hi everybody! I have a problem rearranging operations in operation manager. I tried drugging it, I tried copy & then positioning red arrow & paste it. It never puts it in the right spot. Does anybody know a good way to rearrange (move) the operations in operation manager? Thanks in advance. Lev.

Sorry. forgot to mention that i was using mills drill cycles. didn't try anything else yet. thanks.

I just swiched from MC X3 to MC X4. when you set tool parameters it used to be: when you hit enter it automaticly goes to the next field, not any more. you need to mouse click each field. and for some reason it shows in tool page retract rate the same as feed rate, even if i set it in parameter page different. Is it new to MC X4 or i'm doing somthing wrong? thaks

i never worked with: material: NC10 round rod type 511P what is it? how to machine it? can anybody help me? thanks.

It takes changes & post it fine here. Did you regenerate it before posting? I'm running X3.

5 min 21 sec. Desktop HP Compaq dc5800 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU [email protected] 2.99GHz, 4GB of RAM NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 Windows XP pro.

I run X3 & it's crashes ones in a while for no reason, but not all the time as you describing.

Thanks Alex.

I had the same thing happened with 2007. maybe it works only with new 2008 solid works version?

after you change the tool number in the parameter page you need to save it to the tool library in order to have a new tool number.

I have both X2 & X3 on my computer & don't have any problems renaming X2 programs in X3.

The ability to modify approach length & angle on groove finish toolpath.

I personaly set roll cutter around corners to none, and make any rad i need on my geometry.

for 2A ouside dia should be between 41.229mm/40.94mm & pitch dia between 39.855mm/39.705mm, minor dia 38.71mm max. for 3A ouside dia should be between 41.275mm/40.985mm & pitch dia between 39.9mm/39.789mm, minor dia 38.755mm max.

I think you can measure it with metric mic. Is it 2A or 3A type of thread?

I think you need to create your tool on separate level or file pointing in the right direction. The thing is, all drills in MC lathe have drills pointing to the left and you need it to be pointed to the right with the holder on the left side. I tried & it did work for me.

Looks like FTP site is working now. I Downloaded it. Works great. Thanks Kelly.

I will. I'm looking forward to see you.
