Yeah that did work.. but there is no menu at the top and you cant copy and paste..

doesnt do me much good

I am useing X3 lathe and cant seem to get the file compare to open up anything.. Anyone else have this problem?

I have used it in the past versions and never had any trouble

what about the zoom wheel?

x2 had Ai Utility that worked great..

Anyone else have this trouble?

Ok I have a program saved on my desktop and my next part is all most the same, so I imported the toolpaths but some of the tools have changed. First time doing this in X3 and never had this trouble in the past versions. Am I missing something? It didnt save me any time..

Thanks

And welcome to the forum

Ref point... In the toolpath parameters

Any ID work use it!!

Hey Ray, Yea I turned off the holder and works fine now. I guess I dont remember that before but thanks.

I did try that..

Just got done with a small mold insert and im still getting a collision in the verify and im not taking more that the insert. (only .025 per side)

just never had this in X2 and do like to use it.

I am using X3 and if I have a rough pass of .05 or more the verify will stop on collision. Could someone tell me where that setting is so I can change it. I do have the tool path parameter set at .200 depth of cut.

Thanks

no solids Pete, at least in the files im pulling in from the network.

I am using X3 and am pulling in AutoCAD files around 7,500 KB, it is very slow or it locks up and is geting very fustrating. It has always been like this even with X2 but just want to know if there is anything I can do??

AutoCAD is very fast no matter the file size, but MC cant handle a large file..

Sorry Lathe..

I have a generic post that we are using for a mori-seiki. what do you change to put the gear code on (m41 m42).

Thanks

Thanks Greg!!!

That was it.. I never had to do that before, works fine now

Thanks again

Its on there.. sorry about the name

Lathe>dumb xxxx insert

would someone care to look at this file?

Im sure i am over looking something rather that a bug.. just drivin me a little crazy

I have tried several differant inserts now and all have the same result in x3, but when I go to x2 the same ones work fine

Yeah as I said, its on..

I just did the same part on X2 and it worked fine.

As you can see I have a simple part to make, but I cant seem to get my tool to cut any of the back id. I sure I missed something but cant find it.

Plunge:on

Lead in:135 deg

Lead out:-90 deg

I didnt relize how much I liked it till I started with X3,hope it comes out soon..

Thanks Thad

I down loaded a chook called AI Utility that you could adjust the zoom in X2, is there a way to use that in X3?

Thanks

found it

Anyone out there help a brother out...
