  1. Mike, my toolpaths are pretty big so what i do, is the usual save a stl after each toolpath op and bring it up the last slt saved then run the next toolpath op and so on. On my finish toolpath is were it started to crash. I tried different toolpath and it still crashes, so to remove the stl varible and just try it with a box to verify with the same results.
  2. I'm using arc filter with a filter tol. of .0002, one way filter and create arcs in xy, xz, and yz. i played with alot of stuff so far with the same results.
  3. Well, I tried it anyway and i got to 87% complete instead of the 47% that i was getting before i tried it. i was a shot. It's just a pain cuz i'm doing a toolpaths that are at sizes 6140.0 k rough to 57420.0 k finish in size. and for me to check the toolpath i have to post which takes about 15 to 20 mins then go to predator and set that up and run it and see what i get. For me to check a toolpath it takes a good 2 hour task then make some tweeks and then do it all over again. It's just a day killer to do a couple of toolpaths now.
  4. John, I had made a thread about a verify/simulation crashing, is this the same? If so, what if you have two or three machines on the op manager do I default all of them to fix this problem?
  5. Don or Jim, I sent in the whole file in on Thursday to you guys. The person i sent the file to was Ryan in tech support. And thanks for jumping on this matter. But is it possibe to get a fix before X3 comes out cuz it is save me a ton of time instead of posting the program and trying it in predator then having to go back to MC. You will understand when you check my file out.
  6. I would tranform the toolpath or make a sub
  7. For the guys who have SWKs 08 and looking to buy a new or used ball don't buys any serial port balls they will not work anymore on sw 08. Found that out a couple a weeks ago now the boss has to order 6 new ones so we can the space balls again.
  8. I'm running xp pro also, this is what i running right now twin AMD opteron processors a nvidia nForce4 video card and 2g of ram. This started a couple of ago on me.
  9. I'm running X2 Mr2 and i'm having a prolem with the verify. did anyone else get this fatal error? As soon as i hit ok it crahes one me. Any ideas? crash Thanks
  10. Good Morning All, I never put pics in my topic and i have a question were i need to put one in but i'm unable to. I tried to paste and copy is this right cuz i can not get it to work.
  11. Chris, You need to click on the tool, a page will open on the left there is a button that says seup tool click open that, then on the lower left is the spindel choose the one you want cw-ccw
  12. Morning All, I have some post question on a Cincinatti Milcaron Ps & Qs cutter comp. I have a post that post ps and qs but the problem is that i can not have a P0.0 when I have a Q1.0 and vise versa. how can i change the post to stop posting the one that is zero?
  13. Thanks Zerren for all your hard work, I can not wait to try it out.

  15. Mike, This is what my 3x post has in it pcomment$ #Comment from manual entry (must call pcomment2 if booleans) pcomment2 pcomment2 #Comment from manual entry scomm$ = ucase (scomm$) if gcode$ = 1007, "(", scomm$, ")" else, "(", scomm$, ")", e$ I looked at my 5x post and it looks alot like you posted. I tried to paste and copy what i have in the 5x to the 3x but when i do that the tool comments start of okay but half way through the comments they go to the next line without a man readable ending that line and the next line starting the man readable.
  16. Good Morning, Quick question for the post experts, On my 5x Haas post, when I post manuel entry as code it give me that code, but on my 3x Haas post i get the man readable even though i put the manual entry as code. Were do i find the toggle in the 3x post so i can post as code? Thanks & Happy Hoiday
  17. Thad, Thanks, for the link, what i had to do was make a new toolbar again save it and then saved a back up just in case. I tried again this morning and still the same as Saturday results nothing but the separators. The weird part is that, the added iocn was not on even on that toolbar it was added to another toolbar.
  18. Good Morning Saturday Crew, What is up with the icons on mr2? I know they had a problem with icons vanishing or missing but this time takes the cake. I created three main tool bars that all the icons i use, so I don't have to worry about moving a tool bar by accident then having to put it back in place. I have been using the toolbars for some time now with no problem except for my lathe and 5x toolpath icons vanishing from time to time. I go to add tranparent shading to my shading drop down and the customize window block starts going blank when i move my mouse over it. I go to add the transparent to the drop down and my middle toolbar deletes all the icons except for the separators. is there a way to bring it back from the dead? I saved it and was using it as my default but when i shut down MC and start it up again the toolbar's icons are still missing.
  19. Is it possible to add the total length of the tool in the set up sheet? We have a VR-11 that i program for and i always have to add in the total tool length on the set up sheet manualy.
