After re-loading the Machine def, I have clicked on the threadmill parameters several times and it seems to have fixed the problem,

Thanks

I'll give it a shot,

Thanx

When MasterCAM (un)expectedly shuts down and has the error report where you fill in your email and a description of what you were doing when it crashed, why do you not always get a response from them? I've been working on a simple 2d program and have been getting my threadmill "To Size" on my workpiece and almost every time I click on the threadmill parameters to adjust my Overcut Allowance, MCAM crashes and I have sent in all the error reports (9 or 10) and have not gotten a single response.

Can any of you old Guru's in here look at my file and see if it does it to you also?

Thanks

Okay, thanx. Thats what I needed to know, whether or not to start over and dont even mess with the old stuff. I got alot of work ahead of me!!!

Your rpm could be too high. I have a 1" Feedmill running 1872rpm @178 IPM x .04 D.O.C. in 4140 HT and it ran 6 hours before rotating the inserts.

Let me correct myself. They dont say "Imported NCI"....the folders say "Merged NCI" and all you can do with them is verify or backplot and I need to change tools and drill depth's etc.

Can any of you old MCAM 7 guru's help me out?

I came across the same thing a few weeks ago and I ended up using "Scallop" toolpath and it done it without retracting.

HTH

I have some old ge3 files that I have opened with MCAM 9 and imported the nci files and saved them.

Now, when I open them with X2, there is nothing there to modify....the folders just have "Imported NCI" and there are no options to change your toolpaths.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Worked good,

Thanks

Sorry, I hit the back button in my browser a few times.....didn't know it would do that???

After installing I get this error when opening MCAM:

unable to open resource module Chooksverisurfreverse.dll

Anybody else have this?

Nevermind.....I imported the nci file and all is good.

Thanks a bunch

v9 will open it, but there are no ops or toolpaths.

Hi all,

I have a bunch of old ge3's and occasionally I have to reprogram because I cant open them. Does anyone know a way to open a ge3 with either mc9 or x or x2?

Thanx

Mine has slowed down since last November's time of 5:45. Its now 6:02....guess I need to defrag

I use alot of Fraisa Tools. They are a little more costly, but not really when you think of how much metal you can remove with them vs. other tools
