When i installed the update a window came up with a fair size bug list. I shoulda screen shot it

cool to know, i guess that would reduce any binding

I wouldnt think so, aren't the grooves only cut about .003" or .004" deep?

.

same

x7 verify (default s settings) also clearer than X9.. Is there any way to fix that? . X7 . . X9 .

just retested the benchmark file in X7 and X9 cleared both temp folders first X9 sagged like an old mans Moobs compared to X7... lol WORK p.c. i7 3770k @3.50ghz 32 gig ram 64bit quadro k4000 SSD X7- 38 seconds X9 - 1min 12 seconds wow

interesting on regen/ temp files Why is it not the same when re-genning the benchmark test? (i have had that file saved dirty since benchmark thread started) I do side by side (config) detailed copying. just checked and buffering is identical

Thank you Sir!

I have the latest X9 update installed BTW I had an ECN yesterday on a complex 14 insert program on an insert plate to suit. i put all the new inserts in X7, re-selected all the geometry and hit save For Shats and giggles.... I opened the file in X9(took 3 times longer to open even with those paths dirty) and side by side i re-genned the paths starting the X9 first then the X7. The X7 took about 12 minutes and the X9 took 16 minutes. Is anyone else noticing X9 processing slower? Is there a setting to fix this? i will go try the bench mark some time and compare eventually...... but this is a similar test Thanks in advance Rick

Wise guy! here is the back of the machine after they just placed it. .

looked like they took video of a few different trials.

We have vericut. We have a huge learning curve ahead of us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGx5JzkNxOE

Thats great news Ron. Might have to fly you up to Canada if we have too many issues.

I wont be programming this machine. The CNC shop only knows how to use Mastercam, so it would be beneficial to stick with MC. As they don't use Powermill

We just purchased one of these machines today, should be here in a few weeks. is anyone using Mastercam to program it? Pros/Cons. P.S. our 2nd Makino A51 arrived today thanks in advance Rick

This add on is worth more than one can imagine for surfaces. it is an awesome tool even if you are not cutting molds.

+1 My it guy upgraded my PC last yr, I got the k4000 from the 4000, but he also put 64gig of ram. Big difference

SpaceClaim tool Window select, merge faces

here is one with all the lines removed on the solid only ALFO ROMEO TAIL LIGHT RADIUS PROGRAMS NO LINES.zip

just remember, i dont do 5 axis, just 3d molds and use the opticore for inserts that i cut, bolted to a insert mounting plate, so the insert is finished profiled, complete

i feel the same way but, there is no other avenue to fix anything, in a timely manner.(or sometimes at all) one bug with opticore i sent in for X7 mu1(i think), was parameters/transitions/helix radius would gouge every time i left the default 0.0625" in the box, i was told to try changing it to .06" and that fixed it every time i dont know if the bug got fixed because i lock .06" in my control def.....

I f you can submit a file to [email protected] it would be greatly appreciated. just in case this slipped through the first maintenance update

Dont forget to add steep/shallow in change common parameters, sooner than later.....

I would try creating a folder for each machine on the server. have all users use and edit each (separate) post, machine def and control def, and save, not copy to each respect folder for each machine. then you all should be on the same page at least
