ahhhh i see!
-
it usually does for me too. the level that i'm creating the bounding box on only has one solid. However on my level manager it shows that there are 7 entities on a different level. I have tried to delete all entities on that level and the level, but the 7 entities that i cant find wont disappear
-
on v9.1 i go to toolpath job setup bounding box. all my numbers are set to 0 but when it happens, my bounding box is between .005 and .010 bigger than the part.

i am trying to just cut a small section of a tab on a part, but i keep getting the message --------------------------- Error Processing Solid --------------------------- Operation requires planar chain set. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- v9.1 please
-
well i tried doing the analyze, but it said 0 bad surfaces found. Thats when i decided to come ask for a little help, in case i'm doing it wrong
-
i just finally got busy!
-
i converted a file from surfaces into one solid. Everything was changed correctly except for one area where it created a "ring" that isn't supposed to be there. I can't seem to figure out how to remove it!!
-
i really appreciate all the helpful replies
-
thanks, i am using v9.1
-
so for 1 part that needs to be machined from different sides i can set the part to 2 or 3 different WCS for example and have 2 or 3 different operation folders all from just that one solid on that one level? or do all 3 operations need their own level?
-
i would just like to understand what the WCS really is. i have never used it so i don't know what benefit it could be for me. any sort of explanations or opinions would be appreciated.
-
thank you i was able to get it working right after all
-
i just got a file and i usually like to create solids from surfaces. When i tried that on this one though, some surface had been reversed or mirrored or move in some other way when chsnged to a solid. I checked the norms and they are all over the place on different sides. How can i get them to all be in the same direction other than going through every little surface and checking? v9.1 please
-
thank you for the help i got it to work by fixing my chain
-
thanks, but it was really the 5th op that i was trying to get to work
-
yeam thats not the way lenght of the insert on the machine though
-
Brendan, i'm putting in on the FTP site in the MC9 files under 'Michael Lathe' thank you
-
i did, but i want the direction to be positive and on any of the settings its still cutting both ways
-
i am cutting a groove on a part with two different tools using two seperate chains. On the first one everything works, the depths and the direction of cut. however on my second chain, the depths are working but i cant get it to cut in the direction i want even when i change from positive to negative to bi to chain. It just doesnt do anything different and setting. Using v9.1 lathe
-
but you can draw in solids with mill right? Why is there solids by itself? i have mill 9.1
-
we're getting ready to get X but i just had a quick question. What is the difference between mill and solids?
-
i got it to work. I just created a solid through the hole, and then cut the top off and changed it to a surface and deleted the bottom surfaces. Thanks for the suggestions
-
ok thanks i didn't know what it was anyway.
-
did u try netsurf? what do you mean?
-
what do i need to do to put in on the FTP
