Maybe it should be max pitch instead of a hard coded pitch value I've never done helix bore and not wanted 360 arcs and nice simple code output from the quadrant I bet some of you guys have done threads though that have the starts called out?
-
Thanks for helping JP I'm my own worst enemy, it was the linearize helix checkbox I still think they should fix the helix bore bug, when you set the start angle and the depth doesn't divide evenly by the pitch, Mastercam seems to translate the start angle to an end angle, the the start just ends up where the math puts it.

crap.... it was the linearize helix checkbox sorry guys I haven't written a new program in a while
-
Ok I did It's better, but now the arcs are about 260 degrees Geometry is a single entity, full circle
-
Because I'm fighting 360 arc output issue once again, even though I set the arc parameters, I still get tiny segments Helix bore does 360 arcs, contour ramp won't Would post a picture, but for some reason I can't because file size too large, even if I try to re-post the same picture I posted above

8 years later, same thing

I figured I could use boolean to subtract the finished part from the raw casting model, but that's against the "rules" Results in multiple disjointed bodies as the casting is being machined on several faces What do the pros do? I was looking for an easy way to make sure I don't miss anything... doing a bunch of timestudies this week

Can't find it... (MC 2024)

Thanks Simon, but that had no effect After searching for and installing the driver, then re-starting windows and letting it install other updates, The same behavior in the video above is still present Our IT guy is going to chip in with me to help answer Millman's questions shortly
-
It sounds like if I answer those four questions there's forty more in the chamber System info below, but what NVIDIA settings... all of them? Is there a tutorial or training course for this, or should I go for a computer science degree?

Thanks millman, but that had no effect

I'm using 2023 and the simulation basically ignores all the view settings I've tried The views don't sync between mastercam and simulation The workpiece moves all over the place even though I set focus to workpiece and the view flips 180 degrees every time a new operation begins WTH.mp4
-
Thanks guys that's the right direction! I was stuck thinking of everything under the 3D tab as "3D surfacing", not for prismatic parts like this
-
I got an open pocket to work with 2D dynamic mill and using containment / avoidance areas Now need to figure out the rest milling / machining from the stock Seems like programming to the 3D model instead of 2D geo, Mcam would be able to figure out the stock without containment / avoidance Maybe I'll figure that out next... I'll poke at it some more
-
Getting frustrated trying to figure out the toolpath for this 2D cut... The face with 4 holes thru is my focus To me it looks like a pocket with 3 open sides and an island, should be easy right But I'd like to calculate the cut from stock model which is mostly air 17840-1_New_Machined.mcam
