hello, we just got moldplus catia tranlator v2 mr1 sp3 and already having problems.when we open a catia file, mastercam fails to import the part numbers and labels. does anyone know if there is a setting that maybe we missed. any info will be greatly appreciated. thanks

appreciated!!! thank you so much.

would any one be so kind to give a snapshot of what you guys use for settings on your fadal post.the settings that i am looking for are located under machine definition manager/edit the machine definition/arcs. thanks

knitting surfaces did it, thanks guys.

say, i have a square built with surfaces on all sides, how do i turn that into a solid body, in mastercam is very easy, just go to solid from surfaces and everything is taken care of.

i am kind of new at building models with surfaces in solidworks and i was wondering if there is a command to turn the surfaces into a solid in solidworks, just like in mastercam. thanks

try closing the geo to be swept.

hello everyone.our company owns a axis machine and it is having trouble reading nc code.we have been told by the the manufacturer that the problem is the nc code. it shows 5 decimal numbers in the x and y directions and suposedly it should have only 4 places. where in the post sould i look to change this setting? thanks for your help n advance.

the fadal operator ask me to post a program with cutter comp in it. i posted the program and he is adjusting it manually to his desired settings. the tool is supossed to do a cutout, but once he adjusts the nc code the tool goes back and forth on the same location on a linear path. the nc code has a g41. is there anything that i need to change in my setting (mcx)to make this prgram work or is it machine related? thanks in advance.

under parameters, try tool plane instead of coordinate.

i uploaded a file called arc center 2nd op (mx2). look at it and let me know if it help you.

thanks for your help, happy holidays
