Mine was doing the same thing. Thanks for the work around
-
lol. no worries I brain fart all the time. I'm guessing everyone else does too

I don't know if you can click on a point in the chain to select it. I usually click inside the "Point" field then use my mouse wheel to scroll through the points until it gets to a point where I want to make a feedrate change, then click change at point

Who said ATI is the answer? -
You're probably right and I don't know what I'm talking about. btw, what do you mean "if I remember correctly"
-
Probably. Others may have those same things in play.

We tried high end Quadro's at work and they all had issues. We ended up returning them. I can't remember the model. just sayin
-
Regarding the Xeon processor. I've used 2 pc's that have multiple Xeon processors and I feel I get better performance out of a Pentium. I'm sure some will disagree. I would upgrade the video. Not sure which of the ones you listed would be the best. AMD (ATI) makes a FirePro that is just as good as nVidia's Quadro (IMO) in case you want to look at additional options.

hahaha
-
Did you happen to update your video drivers?

I have to be on the top plane to save the stl in the correct orientation. The "Current WCS" or "World Coordinates" doesn't seem to work. "Current WCS" is greyed out.

Mastercam X8 processing slow

At my work, we could not get nVidia quadro cards to perform correctly. I'm not sure what model the cards were but I know they were $600 a piece. My pc had choppy graphics, others peoples would crash when they opened mastercam. We ended up returning the cards and just getting cheaper ATI gaming cards and they work great. -
Hypermill is excellent for true 5 axis machining, but I know one of the local trainers. Hypermill is like $40k with SW. Full blown MCAM is much less than that.

I just click the save parameters button

I think both swarf milling toolpaths have cutter compensation.
-
Welcome. Does it keep hanging on the same toolpath? Could be the tool definition or holder.
-
Lol, not my intention but thanks for the laugh. I keep forgetting that you can right click in there and in the planes manager.
-
Are you sure you have all the Tool Material boxes checked?
-
If there is nothing on the levels, you can right click in the level manager and select "Purge Empty Levels"
-
BenK, Are you sure you selected you workspace as the default? Also, you might have accidently made changes to some other workspace thinking it was yours and then when you restarted mastercam it went back to the default. I did that a couple times.
-
Aaron, Thank you for checking it out.
-
If I understand you right, you could export one of the toolpaths from one file then import it into the other. Right click the toolpath you want to export-->select "Export"--> save it where you want using the file name you want--> open the file you want to import it to--> right click in the operations manager and select "import"-->navigate to the file and select it. There are a few other hoops you have to jump through along the way but thats the jist of it.

Thanks 175.mcx-8

For whatever reason, it doesn't like the plane you created. Specifically, It's failing because of the YUANDIAN2 plane being used in the drilling operation you're using as the rest material definition in the milling operation. If you change the plane to TOP (wcs, tool plane and constr plane) and regenerate the operations it seems fine. I don't know why. btw, It looks like your using a drilling routing to make clearance for you endmill to enter. If it was me I would use a helix entry. It's probably faster than a drill op and toolchange at the machine. I added an example. t2b.mcx-8

Hello, I have a feature to machine on a part I have that I thought I would use to try out the new Multiaxis Roughing toolpath in X8. I keep getting an error that says "Project to undercuts Depth must be between 0 and 100". I've manipulated just about every setting I could and I still get the message. Has anyone used the Multiaxis Roughing yet?
