Mike S @ S4A replied to Code_Breaker's topic in Industrial Forum
If you have coolant thru on your spindle check out Guhring's Firex series...used 'em on H13 tool steel, 1346 3/16" diameter holes thru a 3" thk block....(went from both sides but still...wow) -

another option (to add points in existing circles) would be the drill point c-hook -
there were some display/repaint/regen issues in the initial X4 release. If you're a customer with active maintenance contact your reseller about installing MU3....it may inprove your situation....disregard if it's already in

....sounds like its time to come back and take advanced mill The blend path would do it with the correct parameter settings....and the geometry mod could be accomplished in mcam (if really necessary) using surface offset
-
Keith - If you use the work offset numbering options in the lower right corner of tab one try decrementing off set numbers and shifting the pattern origin on tab two; we do this exercise in Intermediate mill training here. When you wnat offsets to go G54, G55, etc start at 0 and increment by 1...to go the other way (say G55, G54) you'd start at 1 and increment by -1
-
sounds like a job for finish blend...

hey john - you're almost at 20.000 posts....again
-
DThomson, sounds like you're in a different part of the interface (or an older version). We're speaking specifically of importing toolpath and geometry via the operations manager right click menu in X4...
-
when you open the import window click the icon in the upper right (looks like a folder tree). browse to the directory where the mcx is you want to import toolpaths/geometry from. now the drop down list will browse between the files in that directory.

There's an executable fix a reseller can get from the dealer website and forward to you....
-
sorry, wrong key... all have autosave active, 15 minute interval, do not prompt, do not save to active filename, save to c:mcamxmcxautosave.mcx backup is also active with a 3 file limit so what happens is every 15 minutes autosave.mcx gets refreshed and so does the next incremental backup, be it [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected] a fourth redundant copy is the active file when a user executes a save
-
All my pcs (11 of them) are set like this: * autosave active - 15 minute interval * do not prompt * do not save to active filename
-
you may also want to look at advanced settings on tab three....you can surpress rolling over edges in necessary
-
or back to the original question on identify smallest "radii" .... - call create/curve/all edges make all your edge curves like superman said) - call select/all/arcs - call edit/trim break/close arc - use QM (quickmask) lines and delete the lines what this leaves you with is all arcs as full circles and any other splines...I think one thing you should be aware of is the edge curves may come out as splines in some places; this'll make 'em stand out so you can check arc fits in their locations
-
Cimco 5.6 (pro upgrade)has an option to export backplotted toolpath to a dxf file...perhaps your reseller handles cimco & mastercam like S4A? the cost is reasonable

X4 MU3 Shaded Surfaces disappearing
Mike S @ S4A replied to gibbs machine corp's topic in Industrial Forum
have you tried cslling screen/regenerate display list? -
Ifyou go to the "control panel" in windows you should find the Mastercam X launcher. Open it and expand the properties, look for the reset options at the bottom....status bar reset can be found there
-
There's no need right now unless you're building machine stl's for machsim. X5 will start bringing machine simulation in to the main app(according the the alpha release notes)
