nickbe10, yea, not going thru that... done that back YEARS ago in another software... but THANKS for the suggestion...

ahaslam, your print page don't look like mine - I running Win7 you must be on Win10. Yea, I know how to move the part around and such in the "window" and the mouse wheel function. But I need "Actual Size" - that comes in the "Scaling" section where you set it to "1.0 : 1". I have X6 (and found X8 also), installed and that was maybe the last time I had to do this - well X6 works like it should. Enter - "1.0 : 1" in the scaling function box and that's what you get. 2018 not so much...

Ok, I tried to search for an answer... Well, search function is let's just say "WHACKY"... I'm trying to print some part files I've drawn, and need to print them "TO SIZE" - yes, they will fit on a 8.5 x 11 sheet. I am using MC2018, and this is probably the first time in 2018 I have had to do this. Is the "scale" function broken or am I doing something wrong... It's been a while since I've done this? Everything seems to print "fit to paper" Help is always welcome!

Are those Samsung 4K, 1440 or 1080P...? Costco has the 27 or 32" - 4K (oops... 1080P) for around $180... Just wondering.

Thank you! For thinking too share with us...

Thanks! Does anyone have any better info (pdf's or so), on using or setting up MC's simulation? MC's stuff leaves a lot to be desired!!! Maybe Module works???

Colin, can you explain this a little further... can the simulation read gcode or is it something else?

Not exactly what you're talking about... but close! I worked at a bearing company that we bar fed 8~9 in dia - 1.75~2.9 wall - 12 foot bars into Okuma 4 axis lathes - late 80's, early 90' machines - LR and LC machines... Using "in house" made bar feeders. Fun started when you got a bent bar spun up to 1800 rpm... .0002

Look, too each their own... BUT that is just plain NUTS! If they are on that tight - use an air impact too loosen (not to install). Never have the spindle active when you are messing with the chuck... You're just asking for... ??? .0002

kind'a old but... http://www.emastercam.com/board/topic/89430-autodesk-fusion-360/?hl=fusion go down and read Collin's replys

THIS x 1000 .002

Goldorak for the win!!! Thanks very much - now why didn't I find that with google? Again, Thanks!

I am working on a customer project with Solidworks 2015, (their laptop and all), I have about 800 ~ 900 parts to draw up from some really old “print” prints. I have not used SW in 10+ yrs… so a lot has changed, but it is still SW. Question is: How do you re-orient SW drawing space so Z is up (top plane)? And make it permanent.. So the next time it loads it’s still correct. It’s like Y is currently the top plane (I know it’s always been like that). This drawing stuff sideways is NUTZ! If someone here knows please list it as simple as you can… Like I said it’s been like 10+ years since I used SW. Thanks

+1 - used JM for over 10 yrs. Use a lot of Schunk - Sino-R and Tendo Hyd ER - mix of Command - Lyndex - and off-brand ?

Thanks!!!

Anyone got a link for X8 Verisurf Tools that works??? Maybe I missed one in here, but I think I tried them all? Thanks, Mark

Jay, I am running X6 and X8 on a new computer and fresh installs. Trying to use the new (to me) SpacePilot Pro's. So your saying this is normal for the "PRO's" in X6 but not X8??? That SUCKS... On my old computer with the older SpacePilot both X6 and X8 everything worked fine. Nothing from 3Dconnexion as of yet...

I think I have tried every setting in the driver and whatever I can find in MC... NOTHING... I've sent a question to 3Dconnexion's support people... we'll see if they have an answer.

G, I see nothing in the driver window options that "I" think would change anything. Installed normal, everything defaults, I have changed nothing in MC or the driver. I am going to bring my old spacepilot back out and see if it works. I bought 2 of these from the cad department of a local business that just went under, one new in the box, and both are doing the same thing. Just aggravating... Thanks for your time! Happy 4th!!!

Nope... 10.2.6 = Same thing...

updating....

3DxWare 10 version 10.2.2 3DxWincore version 17.2.2.11155 Devices SpacePilot PRO (firmware v. 4.11)

Ok, I have purchased a new "Space Pilot Pro", I have been using an older "Space Pilot" and love it. I use it with MC - X6 and X8. With the old "Space Pilot" whenever I switched views, ISO, TOP, Front... etc... The view I selected (iso, top, whatever) would "Auto FIT" to the screen, (for lack of a better term), when I hit a different view button. NOW, with this new "Space Pilot Pro" when I hit one of the buttons to change views it DOES NOT auto fit to the screen. You have to hit the "Fit" button after you select whatever view as it will revert to what was your last position in that view. IE: Your zoomed in on a small detail in TOP view, you switch to FRONT view to look at something else, now you switch back to TOP view to continue programming and you get your previous, zoomed into detail, TOP view back. I would like for this new mouse to do as the old mouse did and upon switching views - Auto FIT the part to the screen. I don't remember if I went through this with the old "Space Pilot" or not, as I have used it for quite a while. Is this maybe a setting in MC? (This is on a new computer and fresh loads of MC - X6 and X8) I can find nothing on the driver help screens, or 3Dconnexion's website. Any of you guru's have an idea? Something simple most likely... Thanks, Mark

G, I was talking about the link I posted... they changed it from the last time I bookmarked it??? Had to go find it again...
