Hitachi replied to Code_Breaker's topic in Industrial Forum
Please deposit $10,000 for the next release as we have 5 seats hahahaha Elco1971 X4 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Win XP Pro SP2 Xeon 2.80 GHz 2.00 GB Ram -
Seems to be more of an issue using solids for toolpaths as mentioned above, I will have to try with surfaces Elco1971 X4 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 XP Pro SP2

I have had problems recently trying to post the tape file, unhandled exception, this happened about 10 times in a row, then cleaned out the temp file and still did it, then the problem disappeared. Elco1971 X4 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Win XP Pro SP2

Wait for MU1, hope that it fixes alot of issues, hope that you are on maintenance at the time it comes out or be stuck with the current set of bugs forever. Elco1971 X4 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1

Ok starting to see alot more bugs in X4 the more that I use it, go in to look at operation parameters and make no changes then I have to regen most of the source, what gives? Elco1971 X4 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1

I think X2MR2 SP1 had the most bugs, X4 has been very stable for me. I do agree that X4 should have been more thoroughly tested before being released as many users are having issues with bugs, why rush out the newest release only to frustrate the users who depend on this software on a daily basis?

X2 MR2 is not the most stable now. data lost!

X2 MR2 SP1 gave me nothing but constant crashes, then I reverted back to MR2 and the crashes went away, I would not recommend using SP1 for anything other than to make extra work for yourself. Elco1971 X4 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5 Axis Solidworks 2007 SP3.1 -
Depends on how complicated the part is, for basic stuff I use Mastercam for design as I do not have a solids key. The majority of my files come in a Solidworks format, I have been using Autocad for the last 15 years but am now leaning towards Solidworks Elco1971 MX4 MIll L3 Lathe L1 5 axis Solidworks 2007 SP3.1

I think MPMaster is fairly easy to edit to have it output what you want, if there a Zim/max comments etc. it is not affecting the output of the finished product so load it up and run it!

X4 just came out, a MU1 is needed already?

I have Solidworks and X3 open together on a regular/ daily basis, never have a problem Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.80GHz 2GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

What version are you running? Have you tried cleaning out the commontemp folder? I had this same problem mainly with X2 MR2 SP1, very buggy. Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.80GHz 2GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX 4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

Colin, I have found your information usefull on this subject, thanks for the info. How is it going up there at Boeing? We work in the semiconductor field down here, very slow right now.

I think Streaming Teacher is a good training aid also but I will definitely have to check out the eapprentice site Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.80GHz 2.0GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

I think the Toshiba Satellite laptops are a good deal for the money, I have one at home with a 17" widescreen and 4GB ram running an Intel Core2 Duo processor, it will run circles around anything we have here at work and the price was reasonable P.S.

You shouldn't have a problem with MU1,the one I had the most problems with was X2MR2 SP1, very buggy. I had a problem with not being able to highlight geometry with X3 and this is one of the issues fixed with MU1 Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.80GHz 2.0GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

We are getting slower and slower out here for the last 6-8 months , shutdowns, layoffs, reduced work weeks, etc. Not a good way to start the New Year Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.80GHz 2GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

Yeah the tool comp from center issue almost thru me for a loop, luckily I noticed while editing operations, we can't afford to lose any parts in this unstable economy! Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.8GHz 2GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

Jason, Fair enough, I agree the bottom line is I just want to make a program then go make the part, MD's and CD's are not adding any value to the part or making our company any money, unfortunately if everything is not set right in MC then you are not going to get a clean NC file. I like the old days (V9) when I could just make a source program, post for a particular machine, then go out the shop and make the part.

How about a SGS Z-Carb to rough and a 4Flt CEM to finish? Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.8GHz 2GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX 4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

I noticed the same thing when upgrading to MU1, all milling paths changed from tip comp to center, glad to hear I'm not the only one who had this problem. Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.8GHz 2GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX 4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

I am seeing the same problem after installing MU1, all my tools are shorter in verify than they were when I originally created them in X3 Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L1 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.8GHz 2GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX 4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

I have it installed already Ernie, I'm just figuring out all the options, thanks Elco1971 X3 MU1 Mill L3 Lathe L3 5X SolidWorks 2007 SP3.1 Dell Xeon 2.80GHz 2GB Ram NVidia Quadro FX 4500 Windows XP Pro SP2

Ernie, Can I use the reverse function with the 30 day demo version, or only the full version? I would like to be able to export a stl file then use the data to generate a cad drawing.
