  1. 5 spot drills, less than 1 minute actual time is showing 42 minutes. Searched the forum and googled but can't find anything. Thanks in advance.
  2. What happened to contour ramp? It was still there in MC 2018.
  3. Thanks gcode. It was expired. Not what they told me.
  4. I have been out of circulation for a few years, so forgive me if I seem to be lacking a clue. I downloaded Mastercam 2017 yesterday, and it seemed to be going fine but when I tried to open it it said "maintenance expired, you need to download Mastercam.Dll". But the key I'm using is current. Has anyone run into this issue? Thanks in advance.
  5. I am trying to get the router post to work on a Prototrak. My problem is that I cannot get it to produce long code for peck drilling. The Prototrak does not support G18/G19. I can get long code on the verticals by unchecking peck drill in the Control def, but not on the Router post. Thanks!
  6. We use emuge on tantalum. OSG gold drills. I would not use carbide.
  7. Pitka, nice video! What kind of insert cutter is that?
  8. Be very careful if you have any tapping. I always end up threadmilling everything.
  9. You can also use the PrmDef chook, download from the MC website. It toggles between the previous op and the default.
  10. Weird. I can left click (only at the very bottom), hold and drag at will. X7 MU2.
  11. I can move it by grabbing it from the bottom. Strange.
  12. Rick- Sorry, forgot to mention this. I always change it, hence "second time around".
  13. About the helix entry- on the transitions page, you have Z clearance at .003. Increase this to .03 or so and you will see a helix entry from above the stock. You might want to increase the plunge angle as well.
  14. Can you post a file? Hard to get help without one.
  15. Thanks. Did not realize it would work without being on the website.
  16. Where are you guys getting X7MU2??
  17. Sorry, it's actually a Pro-E file. Not particularly large, only about 6 megs. It opens in X7 without the warning, but still no solid. Thanks guys! Pete, I will send it to you after lunch.
  18. Most likely Solidworks. It came from a customer.
  19. Thanks John. What is a "boundary point"? Screen Stats show no points, only lines, arcs, and splines. And why won't it give me a solid? Never happened before.
