  1. You can also replace Icons with bitmaps of your choosing. Ex:I have jack-o-lantern in place of squash, EraserHead in place of delete..etc. Edit your bitmaps to aprox .33 x .33 and size of 3128 bytes and place in commonicons directory. Hey, was slow day and i was bored.
  2. My post is just to discover my count. Maybe 100-200 is kinda low. Shoot, that would put me in same league as Jay or James.
  3. Nothing wrong with ATI's, my favorite, but stay away from LE series. Just got my son an MSI Geforce 3 Ti-2000 with 128 Ram $90 after rebate at Fry's Eelectronics.
  4. A former employer of mine was busted with illegal MasterCam (wont name, but u can read about it at BSA website). Anyhow, to show how corrupt ALL are, BSA just collected their/theyr'e/there attorney fees and dissapeared. No attempt at prosecution, confiscation, nothing. Now I ask, how serious are attempts at curtailing piracy??
  5. Wondering if tool-makers had similar concerns back 30 years ago??. Loading a part and watching it run while leafing thru PlayBoy. [ 07-23-2002, 02:24 PM: Message edited by: TheePres ]

  7. Forget bats, just paste "NRA" stickers on bumpers and windows of your pick-up trucks and make sure your gun cleaning kit is atop coffe table when date comes over to pick daughter up. It will all pass, my daughter now in Air-Force and son off to NYU next month.
  8. All my 401 was invested at AIM Value Fund. Was at all time high of $45, dropped to $9. Yesterday after reading this post looked for value in paper and not listed, figured an error or fluke checked other days papers and it is gone!!!
  9. To PDG (and all others) You are all the greatest. Thank you for all past, present, and future assistance you have provided.
  10. Thanks Guys, Although(sp?) it seems a pointless subject, your tip on exporting and importing is exactly what I needed.
  11. I do not need to manipulate solid any longer,also aware of hide/blank functions. But would still like to save just solid model. On occasion I recieve models from customers with *.stp extension and these come in with no supporting geometry whatsoever. In my case if i delete geo, am not able to reopen file because of regeneration error.
  12. Is it possible to delete or disassociate geometry used in the creation of Solids. P.S.: Any job leads in O.C California would be appreciated.
  13. Now that my daughter is 20, I can laugh at this post.

  15. Guy, was only edited for english, would have to play with it some more for metric
  16. Guy, Here is my method but probably easier way. (In Section:) #Format statement #common format statements (add this Line, replacing 17 with next value) fs2 17 1.4l 0.3 (letter L after 4) (In Section:) #Toolchange / NC output Variable Formats (replace 2 with 17) fmt Z 17 [ 07-15-2002, 12:10 PM: Message edited by: TheePres ]
  17. Thanks Bertau for that info. I played with it today before i got ur info. If interested in seeing my results, I uploaded FilletBlend_Dan to FTP. I will redo again following ur methods to see what i get, because my method would require one huge post here.
  18. Thanks Bertau and Jay for taaking time to look at this file. Bertau's file is exactly what I needed, How was this accomplished? as I need to do similar on other walls.
  19. Would someone please take a look at FILLETBLEND.MC8 in FTP site. I am having trouble creating variable fillet at 3 wall intersection. Thank You.
  20. Doesn't these methods of x-forming affect climb/conventional cutting? In our shop 90% of work involves left/right parts, so we mirror machine at parameters or G51.1 on some controls. And replace all cutters with left hand version, sadly these left cutters are becoming rarer and more expensive.
  21. On Fanuc controls,sometimes the operator will add value to common work offsts, (before G54).
  22. I have 2: "The Last 10% of a project, takes up 90% of the Time". "Machinist's make Better Screws"
  23. different colors on solid faces
  24. In FTP site File:Mc8Msubreb_NewMethod, How do you accomplish that entry into pocket ?. Seems like combination of spiral and ramp.
  25. James, Since I have plenty of time on my hands at this time, attending one of ur classes would be possible. I actually registered at ur facility 1 year ago, but right before classe started went on 12 hr days.
