did u check the Depth Limit box in the Finish Parameters? u can set an absolute maximum and minimum Z depth, and then change ur passes based on that

thank u, i just looked on the mastercam website as well and printed the recommended settings. Definitely gonna get all the minimum components upgraded this week. thank you

Im running X3

my computer runs 2002 XP Pro 64 bit

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual

2.41 GHz, 1.00 GB RAM (crappy, i know. Gonna upgrade this too)

and current video-

GeForce 7600 GT

lately ive just been getting problems and frustration!! As im switching levels back and for, whenever i select/unselect the level carrying the solids, it gets very pixelated and takes a few seconds for the image to load, then also when doing dynamic rotation it seems to be delayed many times. Any suggestions or recommendations on anything/everything at all por favor.

thank u very much

can i get rid of it on my operations window??!!

AHHHH i get it, thank u very mush, just smoothing out lines now

what do i do?

Just got a jpeg file in from a company that wants me to engrave their logo onto some valve covers, what software can i download or other option do i have to convert to a useable format?

awesome thanks

need to change signature, im on X3. I dont wanna add more things to the bar though

so ive had it set to where the 'ribbon bar' label stays up top in the bar section and everytime i select an option or a command no extra windows pop out representing whatever it is that i want to do. Accidently i clicked on 'ribbon bar' or dragged it out or something and now everytime i wanna do something, that commad that i want is popping out as a window on my screen, how do i get rid of this mistake

ahhhh, i see exactly what u did now, thank u very much

i uploaded my file onto the FTP site under the v9 files titled Michael Surface Pocket. In there u will see a pocket with 2 areas outlined in green wireframe to show the areas i need filled. I just cant seem to get it to work right, if anyone does get it, if u could please explain to me how its done it would be much appreciated. Thank u in advance,

im trying to finish out a bunch of pockets that i roughed out with a 1/2 rougher, now im trying to go back and finish them with a 7/16 carbide so as not to chatter in all the .250 corner rads. The problem im getting is "error computing elapsed time" when i use the same pocket program. When i try to just do a contour around the walls i get "cutter compensation not successsful". uhh, what could be some possible problems or what should i chanege.

V9.1 by the way

great, just the opinions i wanted. They wanted to buy me this computyer here at work because its on sale for $1500 but i wasnt too sure its the one to have

well thanks guys

im looking for a new computer but just dont have the time to look for everything. Any recommendations on brand or from where instead of building one

im gonna check that out in the morning

my computer is:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual

2.41 GHz, 1GB RAM

XP Pro SP3

nVidia GeForce 7600GT

when i use v9.1 everything works well and i can see things nice sharp and clearly. When im using X3, my part flashes and looks like its 'reloading' everytime my autocursor touches it. Because this is happening, there are mary things about my part that i cant even see in detail.

What graphics card should i get asap, or any other recommendations

22" acer 1680x1050

19" acer 1280x1024
