Correction it's occuring with "Multisurface 5 axis" ops
-
Has anyone gotten "REPAIRED NCI with MU2? I'm getting it with several ops using 5-Axis MultiSurface. I cleared the comment field, regened and saved. Re-opened and it's back again...

Print Screen paste to 'paint' all black?
Ralph@Faustson replied to Thee Rickster ™'s topic in Industrial Forum
Rick, Try making the Mastercam application window about 30 percent smaller( not maximumized ). That works for me with dual monitors in XP. -
How does Camplete compare with Vericut?

Also see this page... for a chuck and arbor. http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNPDFF?PMPAG...91018&PMCTLG=00 -
If I interpret your question correctly.. You want to select all toolpaths that use some geometry?

I did a test with all of Mastercam installed on a ramdrive and the test files on a ramdrive with RAM at 1800Mhz and W3580 XEON at 4.2GHZ with 4 cores and my best time was 57-58 seconds following the method I described above.

murray If you haven't regened the file at .001" you may have regen files from a prior regen at .0001" that may affect your next regen in a positive manner.
-
are you regening at .001" and then again at .0001"? That is the protocol...
-
When you regen the tool path mastercam creates copies of the solids and regen files that may be reused if it can. I've found that that can affect the regen times in a positive manner. The temp file location can be found by checking your files; temp location in your configuration.
-
Curious Turk did you delete the temp files when you re-ran it?

Problem with X4 posting for Integrex:
Ralph@Faustson replied to Ron Branch @ Verisurf's topic in Industrial Forum
I get similar error files with my 5 axis posts with 5X swarf tool paths. I believe you need to have the .psb portion of your post updated by your postbuilder. P.S. my posted code has also been fine so far... -
DUH it should work correctly. It just changed my "V" drill from the library from 118 deg to 90 degrees.
-
I've had to regen and / or double click on the tool if I've changed the tool to get the angle to change in the calculator.. eg. I had a 120 degree spot drill correctly defined and I had been using a 90 degree spotdrill previously. When I used the depth calculator it shows a 90 degree point until I exited the operation and re-opened. Got to pay attention to the details... arg

Did you update your machine and control definitions as described in the third forum topic "X4 Post update - How" Following those instruction fixed my issues and crashes with X4.
-
I re-imported the machine and control defs and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks

Anyone getting an error message when starting backplot? I'm getting "Corrupt or Invalid file. Contact your local Mastercam dealer" when I start a backplot even thought the back[plot appears okay. Running X4.

Our posts are set-up to go only from 0-359.999 and the mackine parameters are set the same way. Works great that way and thus never any un-wind issues etc.
-
Are you attempting to machine the inside of those surfaces? Some of your surface normals are on hte outside.
-
I think there's a good explanation on each page. Otherwise they are posts for machines commonly uesed by tech schools for training.
-
WE need more information... what size is the bore, and how deep, and what surface finish is req'd?

What is an "I" call out in taping
Ralph@Faustson replied to Jayson Kramer's topic in Industrial Forum
M29 is for rigid tapping on Robodrills -
What kind of machine and control? tnc's have a bore milling cycle thatt can be uesed with 5 axis drillng. Really easy to program without using tool planes
