Feb 1903. Count this 100 years old man. BTW-I do not think you can beat Jack's record. He is very creative. It doesn't mater you like him or hate him; he is the one who, making this forum alive.

Hope there are enough 7 tons parts to feed those monster cnc mills. Can those monsters make profits? How much those parts cost? How long will take you finish one part? One thing is for sure that many things in TX are very big.

We have a Chinese designer works here. He is excellent. We are going NY Chinatown celebrating the new year for him this Saturday (boss pays for it). Happy New Year, guys!!

quote: Mastercam Direct Mastercam Direct is a suite of Add-in DLL’s for popular CAD products like Solid Edge ®, SolidWorks ®, and Autodesk Inventor ™. These easy to install, and use, Add-ins act as a means to launch Mastercam directly from within each of these products, loading the current active part file into Mastercam so toolpaths can be produced. In the process of loading files directly into Mastercam, users can also import toolpath operations that exist in older revisions, or other parts, directly into the geometry. I can't explain better than MasterCam. BTW-Mastercam Direct would do the same thing as you did. I think Mr.Glenn Bouman's way might do the job. Have you tried it? Was it working? Please let us know. Hope this will help.

We drew a logo in AutoCad and imported the geometry to MasterCam V9. Pocket toolpath was good; toolpath Verify was good; and NC file verify (with MetaCut View) was good . Come to CNC (bridgeport TC-1), it made a few unexpected circles out of pocket and cut into the part. Anybody could tell us what was going on? What should we do to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Raiders and Jets game...Hope Raiders will not stop the game and have their sennior citisen record celebration at mid of the field like last time they did. Go Jets!!!

I don't even have much time reading this forum now. It is unreal. [ 10-24-2002, 09:10 AM: Message edited by: David S ]

I might win one of these awards. It is Definitely not "All around nice person award". It might be "Who Cares Award" Jack, you will win at least three of these awards. You will have my vote! [ 10-11-2002, 10:29 AM: Message edited by: David S ]

DXF file format of CorelDraw available since version 5 (maybe earlier). quote: How do you obtain a DXF file from CorelDraw? Use SAVE in V9 and use EXPORT in early version. If I am right, DXF is the only format to export files from CorelDraw to Mastercam. DWG is option. [ 10-07-2002, 10:19 PM: Message edited by: David S ]

You are right! The one on James head had just proved by FAA last week.

Mold100, please read those posts carefully. As far as I understand that the argument they have over there is not only about ligitimate user or not. It is about if you are going to pay for the posts, if your boss let your dealer make money. I am pretty sure you will get a perfect working post for your machine second day morning if you leave massage or e-mail your dealer 10:30 pm and tell them you willing to pay $$$$. I might be wrong. I am still watching their show. I think both sides made a lot good points. [ 10-03-2002, 10:43 AM: Message edited by: David S ]

Dear Mr. Bond, I don't know who told you that Solidworks will "drill holes" for you? Don't believe it, and don't count on it either. English government hire 007 was not for MasterCam programming; your boss hire you is not for being a super spy even though you both last name is Bond. Solidworks is for design and MasterCam Solid is for machine cutting even though they both name is Solid. Solidworks solid is much better because it makes living with that (CAD) while MasterCam puts most its money on the machine cutting (CAM). quote: together the MasterCam team will smoke all the other team's. What teams are you talking about? MasterCam is (not "will be") the #1 in its own league. Pro-e, UG, CATIA... are in the different league. And there will not have a "World Series". Sorry, there is no "one size fits all" software and never be one in this World. MasterCam will smoke all the other teams (CAD, CAM, CMM)??????? I don't know---.

quote: I feel that for many times there is no need for the stuff like Solidworks now. I agree with you, and for many times there is no need for the stuff like solid either. In general, Solidworks is better by far.

Jay, thank you for covering me up! Bill, in your case, try to reinstall your MasterCam V8.1.1 and download and install latest SP for V8.1.1. Hope this will help.

I don't think Change Start Point feature is available for the solid contour. You might get it in MasterCam V10.

Mold100, This is a good news! Congratulations! Do you need 2nd job? We have an openning.

Mark, It dose not bother me. Some people in this forum are watching and counting: quote: Now we'll really know who's legit. If we see a bunch of posts hanging at 199 or a bunch of folks with higher numbers and no avatar, we'll know..... He, he, he! When my number is up, I will give them "company name and SIM number to validate your status as a licensed user". I don't think I need any "96 x 96 pixel image". I don't care how other people look at me as long as I have a clean conscience. This is only my personal point of view. What do you trying to do next or if you are legit is really not my business. I have no right to tell other people what to do in this forum. I am one of you.
