Hi all! Does anybody know what happens to my MC9.1? Since some days ago it runs very slow and also makes all the system slow, if i try to open a word or excel sheet it takes a long long time. Everything goes ok when i shut down MC. I tried to unisntall and reinstall again but, the same. Thanks.

Hello all, I'm pocketing a part with surface/rough/pocket I'm trying to do it by the cutting methor of morph spiral but i don't know if mastercam 9.1 can interpolate the corners in order to make smoother path for the tool. thanks

Hello to all, Is there any way to get a faster communication between my TNCREMO and the HEIDENHAIN TNC 426 by RS-232 and also by ethernet? I go more or less at 4/5/6 Kb/second and I think I could go faster. Thanks.

If you had to ask to a customer for his geometry which would be the type of file requested from best to worst of the following? PARASOLID/IGES/DXF/SAT/UG (Anyone wants to add a type of file?) thanks for your help.

yes gary I know this one but what i don't know is: If I put a value in the cut tolerance parameter what should happen? For example, if the cut tolerance is 0.001", the toolpath will be generated with 0.001" on each side of the original toolpath or will be 0.0005" on each side?

Hello again, Ok, now I now how to make when my part tolerances are not symetrical (+-). But nobody have explained me exactly what happens with cut and filter tolerances. Which one of this cannot be minus? Thanks.

Hello Wallace, As I understand, filter doesn't have minus value? And the cut tolerance, does it have minus value? For me this is not very clear in MC. What should happen if my geometry tolerances are not +0.01 -0.01 and are for instance 0 -0.02, do I have to set this into the geometry? I could see in UG an intol outol. thanks Wallace.

Hello all, this is a silly question but i'm not sure so... in the cam parameters, the chordal deviation and the filter tolerances are plus minus the value i put? For example, if i write chordal deviation 0.01, is it +0.01 -0.01 or +0.005 -0.005? Is it the same for the filter? thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for your explanation Wallace.

Could anybody explain me a little bit the meaning of the values in the sheet screen/config/tolerances? Thanks a lot.

Thanks Mark! It works great!

Hello, I've hot a question. It's not a big problem but it is a little bit anoying. The matter is that when I'm operating with MC8 sometimes I get the following message in the bottom of the screen: "SAVING NCI FILE" (it's the literal translation from spanish). And then it gets stuck for a while. Is there any way to disable this one? Thank you very much.

Kenneth, It worked perfect your idea! Thanks.

Kenneth, Think your idea could be good. I will try but next week. Now, holidays.

yeah kccadcam it is surface/rough/pocketing. I've tried this parameter of "follow boundary" but i don't like so much because the tool starts at a point more external and then comes again to the center of the pocket. This makes the tool milling more time with the whole diameter and if you are milling hardened steel the tool will suffer a lot.
