    Ron needs a vacation...

    I believe he wants a path like powermill has that avoids the flat areas when using scallop. pencil is good for adjacent walls to floors and virticle

    Ironically Thad did not mention that after his service was complete.... ROR!! And now I finally understand why he calls me Rickstrap!

    Not really, i am helping you, help them and that helps us all. I just test the same old issues when they let loose a major release. If the same old cumbersome problems are there, then I can only assume and watch threads and test other issues that will directly affect me, before the first MU release comes out. Then hope they addressed the toolpath issues and pray they fix old work arrounds, bugs, known inefficiencies...etc. (Same game, different release.) Its actually a written ISO protocol at my work, for only this software.

    "If missed in verify (who really has time to watch every single pass of every single tool)" Nobody does. But when you break a cutter because of a faulty path.... Just at minimum, explain it to them and Maybe they will look at it or confirm they have enuf concerns to do something about it. This X8 release has alot of X7 and prior, carry overs....LOL At least you get to use X8

    It not unusual for MC to skip the odd z LVL path. I get this mostly in waterline rest paths When i catch it at the p.c., I change the step down by .001" and regen then keep doing that until the path does it right, if it doesn't I go to a legacy path that should do the about the same thing Go to the new forum and place your issue in this thread CNC chimed in and wants as many X8 issues reported here http://forum.mastercam.com/Topic2846.aspx

    The training I have had on it, you had many ways to do it, and I dont think they were accociative The one way i like the most was to just wave your mouse over the un-needed cuts and the editor put in the retract needed. My powermill guy quit and I didnt and dont have time to learn it any more so its all MC at the moment.
  8. Thee Rickster ™
    Powermill is about the same.

    Used by temporarily enraged fanboy You'll have to google fanboy. Glad you figured it out

    Done....really hoping to find some new 3 axis paths you probably can, just hit edit and use full editor.
  11. Thee Rickster ™
    What version are you on? I havent used MC solids since X4, but I am sure it gave me the option to save without regenning Try save as (add _02) see if it lets you save as Sorry i cannot be of more help
  12. Thee Rickster ™
    You 'can' save without regenning, if you wish, i used to do it alot when i used mastercam solids because i created surfaces from the solids... usually because a line or something was move or deleted and it wont regen without that associated geometry missing or moved

    Are there any hidden toolpaths in the level 3 seats with 'no' multiaxis paths? If not, can you change the title of this thread so us common folk don't feel so disappointed?.... LOLOLOL
  14. Thee Rickster ™
    is what it is man, ever since i started using MC since 2006 For every problem you have with new releases you have to get this stuff in and quick and get a bug number on it, or it skips a version or two. They got to design the software so that it is easily patchable....untill then, i dont know what to tell ya
  15. Thee Rickster ™
    Then email [email protected] and have them look into it Maybe a share destop and have them phone you, they will likly tell you if it will wait to X9 right there on the phone Maintenance can get you Share desktop privileges
  16. Thee Rickster ™
    Yes all of the above I have a wcs thread there that they deemed as a bug, and this other wcs thread looks promising http://forum.mastercam.com/Topic2554.aspx WCS needs an over haul of TLC for the MU1 for sure, unless they decide them for X9 Plus most other X8 users are over there and can test your issues
  17. Thee Rickster ™
    Murlin, get used to addressing X8 issue in the new forum. Way more CNC personnel will be way more apt to chime in there and re assure you it is being investigated.... most of the time in a quick manner.
  18. Thee Rickster ™
    A perfect match, Thanks!
  19. Thee Rickster ™
    3rd time trying to dload the .exe file. So like above I tried it after work hours and it got through can any one confirm the bite size? in my dloads folder it says 963,733 kb Is this correct? Thanks in advance
  20. Thee Rickster ™
    newbeeeeee Just go to the new forum, it doesnt matter where you get your answers along as you get them..
  21. Thee Rickster ™
    lol....i was day dreaming when I asked that.... been working on tons of ECN's in X6 lately...
  22. Thee Rickster ™
    thanks
  23. Thee Rickster ™
    seen this before, in-house hadn't seen it before at the time so a solution was not found and starting a new file would have been the only way to rid of it the stock model didn't affect my file so I left it and carried on.
  24. Thee Rickster ™
    True dat.
  25. Thee Rickster ™
    also changing resolution on your monitor will allow you to easily fix the problem then change it back
