Thanks guys with your help I got it figured out

Helpful but not what I'm looking for Trying to align it square with the WCS its at an odd angle when I imported it in

I was playing around with it but cant seem to do it correctly

is there was a simple way to align a solid model to the wcs

Thats just "Crazy"

I installed it, right into my filing cabinet, Im not sure I will ever install it, just too many problems, X6 is working just fine for me.

yes ,you are correct, I never unhook our 4th axis, I just cut a notch in the top access door beside the window to allow the cabels to pass thru and I slide the 4th axis onto a wheeled cart I made and park it beside the machine when Im not using it.

ENABLING 4th AXIS OPERATION 1.Set Parameter Write to 1(Enable) 2.Set K-bits 2.7and4.7 to"1" 3.Set Parameter 12, bit 7,A=0 4.Set Parameter 1005,bit 7=0 5.Set Parameter Write to 0 (Disable) 6.Power Down 7.Power Up Hope this helps , I run the same machine, I copied this out of my manual, let me know if you need more more information

I use (tabs) then just break them out like model pieces, ya know when you were a kid building models,it works for us anyways

Thanks for all your help, I got it to work

When I do a file merge/Pattern is their a way to also bring over all my tool path groups with it? I think IT has shut me out on my computer had to sneek over to the laptop to log onto the forum, been months since I have been here I see Off Topic is gone so I guess I will put this in here. Thanks

Sorry, Did I put this in the wrong place? I am trying surface to surface

Thanks Jammer , I will sent this out to ya, its probably something simple I am just overlooking.

can not get the surfaces to trim the way I need them to, I can send the file so you can see what I am trying to do ,this is going to be a mold for a dog toy (frisbee) type. Thanks Dan
