    I crashed 12-15 times yesterday with 2020 just hitting save. Working with multiple planes. I had files open in 2019 not one problem. I had lots of problems when working with planes . It would just move them and corrupt my tool paths. 2020 is very quirky. Same file today and no problems. I am heading back to 2019!
  2. The Chipmaker
    My personal opinion of 2020 is it stinks. Too quirky. Blows up too much. MC laid a stinker!

    I kind of like the hybrid path. Without seeing the part it's kind of hard to the question. Sometimes you have to adjust the limiting angle.

    I see a feed rate of 120 and .008 fpt. I would cut that back and bump up your rpm's. Just my 2 cents.

    Saltedfish see attached. The floor stock will act as a depth limit. Doc2.pdf
  6. The Chipmaker
    In the model stock section make sure floor stock is set to zero or whatever you want left. Try that.

    Yes I have the same issue! I like using the hot keys if I am only doing a couple of holes. Sometimes I'll keep hitting the c (for arc center) and it won't pick the center. Annoying to say the least. The whole selection process has taken a step backwards. You are not alone!

    I always use full vertical retract!

    I have been using it since the late 80's. I have seen it grow and get better and I have seen it go backwards sometimes. I hate updating! it is a big PIA. I hate when they change things that are working like hole selection and than go backwards in 2019 & 2020. The trim function is annoying as well as the note in drafting. I think for most of us the newer toolpaths are fluff. Not all of them, but most. Just my 2 cents.
  10. The Chipmaker
    It is still there in my tool manager.

    Ok I give up. How do you make the header titles on the quick access toolbar bigger? They are too small! Much smaller than 2019. Thanks!

    It is well worth buying good taps. We use Emuge.

    Ron, It may have, but dropbox is blocked here at work.

    Rich, I could get it to work in surface mode. I had to machine the inside of it. On the surfaces I created it had overlapping surfaces. Not clean. Rotate yours and look down inside. Doesn't seem like it should be that difficult a shape to model. I was going to try it in SW. Never to late! Thanks

    Thanks for the help!

    How come I can't get the green geometry to do a solid sweep? I can't get it to sweep around the corner. 10163641-sweep.mcam

    They cling onto everything. I hate that. It should be like a tool path and ask before you delete it and then let you delete them. They should go away though when you get rid of all the things you listed. I wish I could help, but I feel your pain!

    How about Soraluce? We are currently looking at them and the DMG/Mori. We need a mill/turn with a high capacity for weight and high accuracy. Thanks

    I used a contour. It didn't gouge. You can play with exit location. ANGLED_HOLES_(1).mcam
  20. The Chipmaker
    Hi, I always use control for my cc. to avoid any questions by my operators. 99.9% of our geometry is closed this one happens to be open. The cutter starts its approach as if cc is off and angles to the correct position, but chops off a corner. Is there a setting that I am missing for an open contour? I found a work around and used perp instead of tangent, but I don't like it feeding inside a slot. Thanks! 52.25_LEAD_IN_QUESTION.mcam

    Is this what you are looking for? one surf2.mcam
  22. The Chipmaker
    Roger, I sent you a sample file. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
  23. The Chipmaker
    I am experiencing too! I have been using set up sheets as long as 2019 has been installed. The last month something changed and it does take over a minute to open. Can't help you , but you aren't alone.
  24. The Chipmaker
    I had the same issue. Had to paste and copy every machine. Others here with the same set up no problems.

    We made a custom drill cycle for our gun drills. I just have to adjust line 175, 190 & 205. N160M906T26 N165G00G17G90X0.Y10.151Z0.W0. N170M01 N175S50M03 N180G43W14.875H26M08 N185X0.Y10.151 N190G1W11.937F2. N195S485 N200G98G81W9.795R11.937F.75 N205G1W11.937F5. N210S50 N215W14.875
