Politics of the work place! I try to keep out but it does look like the winds of change are blowing. Glad to hear your busy, keep in touch okay!

Yeah its a great way to sort out problems. Tell Denny I said Hi! You guys keeping busy?

Hey doyleg its me, but I am now in Phoenix. How do you know me?

Thanks for all the help on the backplot problem. It is some peace of mind knowing its a bug with mr1 and not something I setup wrong with the wcs!

I used geometry to create the wcs and than rotated the wcs with the directional arrow unti it flipped to the x y and z looking how I wanted it. While in that menu I named the view and selected the option to "set as wcs" Than in the next menu I did select "=".

I don't understand why my endmills are okay in backplot. Its just my drills that backplot incorrect on the "z" ?? And than it post okay. Thats kinda scarry

When I back plot the tool it looks good visually. But the z value which shows as you back plot is wrong? Now when I post it seems the posted file is correct?? Is this a back plot issue with the drill cycles?

I should have mentioned I am using MR1

I have been working with the “WCS” (for the first time) today by going into the view manager and creating new views and defining a new wcs instead of rotating my block. It all seemed to be working fine but I am just finding out that my drill cycles do not seem to pick up my new origin on the “Z” value? the real strange thing is that my endmills are all fine? Its just my drills. This must be a routine problem but I have not been able to figure out whats happening. I would appreciate it if any one has input!

turned Hyperthreading OFF and it reduced the time from 30 min 50 sec down to 29 min 30 sec. I'm hoping for a 25 minute reduction! Any other sugestions! I guess it must have something to do with the vpn connection?

30 min and 50 sec.!

Okay guys I have the stl thing figured out, finally! and it is way cool! The only thing I noticed is that when you pick the last opp to verify againt, it is ultra slow. Is there a way to turn the turbo tool on and view the tool as it verifies?

The deal is that I want to be able to swhitch from "turbo tool" to "simulate" in "mid-stream" Oh well I will bump around a bit with this stl file thing.

Hey Greg, I am not understanding what you mean by

"Select your stl as your file" Do you mean inside of stock setup or inside of verification?

danman

Thanks for your hlep guys, I guess we can't have it all!

Dan!

How do you go about verifying the last op against an stl file? I only tried working with stl files once and it seemed like a longggg time to save!

I might add that the objective is to verify the first opps quickly in turbo as the paths are very Long

Hello all!

I did a search on this subject and did not turn up anything that addresses the question I have, but I will throw it out there just in case someone has some ideas! What I am tring to do is select several operations to verify and have the turbo tool setting turned on. I want to be able to verify all the operations except the last one and change to "simulate-tool" for just that operation. (without exiting out of verify) Is there some kinda work around for this? Dumb question but someones gotta ask it!

Dan

You may also try making 1 contour pass at the bottom of hole and than transform that path up?

Hey Thad, I'm up and running now and the trick seems to be holding the "control" key and turning off tangent as Colin mentions. You can turn off auto cursor but it still wants to snap to end points regardless? Any way, so long as I know about the "tangent" and "control" thing I can make chips!

Dan

Thanks Colin, I'll giver er a try!

Thanks Colin, I'll giver er a try!

Thanks Thad, but I find that the only way to draw "random" lines is to use "line" and than "endpoints"

I do have auto curser turned off, but of course it wants to find end points? Thats why I wondered if there was a way to have a level visible but not selectable?
