  1. Ask management if cooperation is part of operators jobs description and if so to remind these operators.
  2. Prior to installing X6. I would like to remove X4 from my system...Should I use the Windows remove program feature or is there a more through/safer way to remove without hosing current X5 install?
  3. attached file ANGLED_FLOOR.MCX-5
  4. Curve 5-axis locked to to 3 with floor as compensation surface would also work. example attached
  5. Please look at file I loaded that shows the wierd results i get when I try this toolpath, Copied to X5 folder Swarf_Dan.Mcx_5, File was to big to attach in message.
  6. Curious as to whether still digging for missing option??
  7. Look for the "roughing" tab
  8. Edit this registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Mastercam.exe\shell\open\command "C:\mcamx4\Mastercam.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx5\Mastercam.exe" reboot, then you will be able to find X5 under change file association and make it stick.
  9. I was hoping AP214 maintained named layers when imported into NX. with no luck,,
  10. I need to export Master Cam files to Step 214. Options tab during export is greyed out, Is it possible to switch export to 214 or does Mastercanm only offer 203 translations?
  11. You would need Adobe Acrobat 3D to create these files.
  12. I manually changed registry setting, works good for me,,, Will search key and post in a bit.
  13. How about untrimming/extending existing fillet along that wall.
  14. What would be proper way to disable canned drill cycles? I disabled at MD/CD but post still shows they are enabled ( see attached images), and output still has g81. Is there a switch that tells post to ignore these settings? Should i manually edit post to no$ ?
  15. Temporarilly Changing system tolerance to .00001 did the trick, Thanks for responses.
  16. Need to scale a model to 6th place decimal, X5 only allows me to 4th place. Is there a configuration setting I could change to increase accuracy?
  17. GMan, Where is this Misc switch that you mention above, to force an unwind?
  18. You can still create your 5-axis drilling toolpath with just the points. Use only points instead of points/lines and use surface as tool axis control. If no surface exists, create a draft surface of your existing spline/geometry.
  19. On very large models I get similar results, the way to fix what I suspect you are experiencing is the shade setting resolution. You can find under Screen \ Shade settings \ parameter...i run at .008/.012 on larger models.
  20. filettatura a dente di sega, tranlates to "cut it with a hacksaw"
  21. If in X5, take a look at sample file \multiaxis\wirfeame\parallel to curve inch.mcx-5. This toolpath is also rounding corner, but backplot does not show violation of that bottom corner. Also look at cut parameters\parameters for surface edge handling..has option to maintain outside sharp edge.
  22. Hello All. I am trying to find how to get a Curve 5axis toolpath to ramp down entire curve perimeter, not just as an entry. Would this be possible?
