hi lartool and welcome to the forum hey being avarage isnt that bad your not GREAT but your not bad either

not sure exactly what your saying maybe when you chain you should look in options for plane mask etc... to add pcs you need to create some geometry???

if you get other entites in your window you can hit options and color mask or entite mask etc... etc.. hope that helps

hold on!!! just toolpathed bunch of circles with window and entered a search point at the top of the screen then 2nd op for chamfer again window select but search point at bottom and it reversed my path between holes try that

i dont think you can reverse the order of your chains like drilling you have to goto chain mng and drag the order probubly faster to rechain as sperate op ive also tried this noluck??

have you loaded the latest patches

we moved from smartcam to mcam ten years ago!! its seemless with your many years at this type of work you will be up and cutting in no time

plot your points for your rise and fall dwell etc some people get this info from specific cam generating software pkg then put a spline thru it then i modify ,break many pcs to a lenth of like .01 then delete spline and toolpath that! you can tighten that up depending on the finish

the pro's great for production and grouping of parts but we found the best part being quick change over from job to job one pallet holds our rotary one pallet has the vices other pallet hold repeaters etc.. etc..the cons some after market systems are cumbersome in front of the machine. if it comes from the manfacture built on there good. but what we did was buy an after market pallet reciever and there cart recievers and made a 2 paalet recieving cart on a die table able to load it and unload by spining cart and put pallet on storage racks easily great for setup reduction... sorry for the rant but this gets me going
