Maybe someone can help me on this. This is a mould for Architectural Cast stone, I drew a sectional view of the mould and the Radius it needed to be and used the create swept surface to make the part. The trouble lies in the start of the part. I start my drawing from the origin ,and that point is square, where the part ends the radial line is present on the end, i need it to be the same on both ends. anyone have an idea. J ford and Kannon showed me how to do the sweep a month ago so help . Please [/img]

do you want to copy parts of the drawing or the whole drawing itself????

what kibd of processor do you have,and how much RAM : code: :

I have a Quadro fx 560; works fine. a ge force 6200; works fine, and a dell xps laptop with a measley geforce 8400 and that works fine, make sure you have a dual or quad core processor, that helps alot

your graphics card is crapping out on you.

I have been researching this for a while. I have a Ge Force 6200 at home with a pent 4 and 1 gig of ram and I have no problems, it is actually very fast, at work I have the Quadro fx 570 with 2 gig of ram and when I verify on turbo the view is choppy or hesitant when I scroll in or out? I also am able to process faster at home than work . I dont understand why the Quadro was 900.00 more than the 6200. Crazy eh?

great enough that we are on the forum on sunday

Welcome to the forum, I am pretty new as well but you will soonfind out that the senior members take you in with open arms and help you greatly I have recieved so much info that its mind boggling. This is the best forum I have ever seen. It is addidicting

I spent about 6 months playing with Mastercam before I took the training at my reseller, The training they gave me was great, the only pronlem was the owner of my company came and put the class of 4 people behind because he did not have a clue. after 6 more months I paid my reseller to send a tech out to teach at my facility and we tailored the class to what we needed based on our way of production, this helped alot! Along with streaming teacher,practice and this forum I have become much better and are learning every day. you need to take a class, local coleges are now offering Mastercam classes.

it is exactly 140 lbs per cubic ft, coming from another caststone guy web page

hab hot asian babe, gotta love em

quote: would be very interested to know how you do that! (assuming that you are talking about the mouse cursor crosshairs, and not the system origin (F9) lines). The screen would be settings,conf,graphics backround color. the other was for the origin.

Try this : Sorry I have not had my coffee

Got to love Randy. Zakk Wylde is an incredible replacement though. thank you to John for the photbucket info

do you already have the solid entity and want to extend it longer?

Monty, thank you for the input. I have heard a broad spectrum so far,i have the quadro fx at work and a g force 6200 that cost me 75 dollars at home and i get more out of the lesser card. go figure. maybe it a man thing you know we always want the best. i am running router pro with arts and solids, maybe the others are designing things for space stations,i dont know but i am glad for all the help this forum brings

You can change the color of your crosshairs in the configuration. I like a black screen with red crosshairs

I believe this is driving me Crazy

Streaming teacher will give you the basics,there is also the getting started guide, not the one they gave you when you bought it but the one in the documentation file in explorer. I took a 2 week class where i bought my CNC machine and that helped alot, playing around for countless hours has helped the most

It is hard to teach the old dogs new tricks, not that they cant learn but some people just fear change,if it work dont fix kind of guys, not me I always want the newest thing out there. I learned on X and I love X2 and cant wait for X3 and so on. i guess some companies dont opt for the maint. contract but I do give me more. I must say I love Mastercam since I opened the box. It has been challenging and frustrating but people here in the forum have been great

Buy another seat, I hate sharing at work
