    Has any one updated their solidworks to find that the default color scheme is all white backgrounds? Its actually uglier the a fresh install of X9.... LOL.... J/K, X9 is beautiful.... I have never had to change settings like this. Is there a color scheme changer in solidworks? thanks in advance Rick

    You can also, in your machine groups, set the stock the same in each machine group and select both sets of tioolpatha and hit verify. No picking or setting anything just watch verify do both simultaneously

    Good afternoon ppl. Would any one, buy chance have a solid (.stp or .x_t) model of a hass VF6, preferably an older one? My machine is a 1996. I mainly need the same spindle housing. I want to use it in Mach Sim for spindle housing clearance on a large graphite mold i am cutting, 50" x 30" x 11" (cor and cavity blocks) Any help would be greatly appreciated Cheers Rick

    I used to do all my mold designs in MC for years. No Issues at all on the CAD end of MC. for me anyways. Once i bought Spaceclaim though i stopped using MC. Its too fast of a software to compare to MC.

    Verify always looks worse finish then the actual cut finish Your original pic is zoomed in greatly for a 1/2 sphere and you are seeing the cusp's just try a smaller step over, even .001" and total tolerance to .0001" and zoom in on verify again and see what that looks like

    I never preposition them, or customer data. I use WCS origin's for everything so, nothing needs to be moved.
  16. Thee Rickster ™
    I've have been lucky then. I have been importing planes and operations for many years.

    Hence the stress of a mold maker.

    A scallop path that avoids flat areas. Just curious if any one else has thought of it benefits Cheers Rick

    Micro I was busy to get back here. I changed my defaults for skip pockets to .o1" in my tool path parameters years ago in the control def section. Each new release update keeps all my settings too. As I'm reading the posts, I new that's what it was. But you beat me to it.... Glad you worked it out

    -cap the cavity area that needs to be cut -make a scallop over the entire p/l Path(length and with as your boundary) with the added stock you would use ( .02") -make a stock model from that -then hide the capped area and start rest roughing using that stock model
