  1. I must admit that I'm not that much expect on the G31 codes... I only use the program, and have got it from a EIA freak some years ago... But it's working perfectly on our Mazak machines...
  2. I'm starting to get use to MC to draw the parts as well, mostly for the training of it... I still prefer the Solid Works.. It's faster and for most things, also easier and more accurate 3D... Or maybe it's just a habit... ?
  3. We have made our own tool break detect program in ISO for a MAZAK PFH-5800... It's working very fine, but I honestly don't know if it will work on a 1992 model.. Looks like this: (TEST FOR TOOLBREAK) G28G91Z0M19 G90 G10L2P1X-730.Y-730.Z-474. G0G54X0.Y0.M33 G43Z0H#51999 G31.4Z-20.F500 #650=#5003 Z50. G0G28G91Z0M34 G55G90 IF[#650LT-8.]GOTO1 M99 N1 #3000=21(TOOL IS BROKEN) M99
  4. Sorry for posting twice, but I constant get an error that some fatal error has occured.... So I don't know when it's posted or not...

  7. Sorry for posting twice, but it said, that some fatal error had happened, so I tried again...
  8. Hi! I'm running X3 MU1, and I got some troubles with making nice swept surfaces... When I i.e. make 3 arcs as "across contour", and 2 arcs as "along contour" it's like the shape is becoming egded, and doesn't follow the shape completly... Also when I just make a straight swept surface, the ends become edgy... Any advise what to do or change?.. Thanks in advance!
  9. The files as STL "binary" is on 126KB, and I put the "Number of entities for dynamic rotation" to 100.. It's for me very low.. Still the computer freeze for 2-3 second and then do a single move and then I have to wait again.. If I try with the ASCII version it's even worse, but also filesize 926KB... My comp. has 3GHZ, 2GB RAM and a NVIDIA Quadro FX 1400.. It's a company computer, so have no idea about the graphic if it's good or not...
  10. Thanks alot for the ideas.. Was so focused on SW, that I forgot the option in X3.. .. It's working now, but even in very coarse version, it's really freezy when I want to move the part... Guess I need to ask for new computer..
  11. Just a single comment... I have tested it in my old X2 MR2 too, and the same problem appear...
  12. Hi! I'm running X3 and having some troubles with making the compared with STL file, when I make Verification.. I have a file from IGES, which I have tried to convert in Solid Works to .stl, but there are 2 options in SW, "Binary" or "ASCII"... When I choose the Binary, I can't see the shape in X3's compare mode, when I try the ASCII, the X3 is freezing completly when I try to show the shape.. Any clues, what to try or what the reason is.. Thanks in advance!
