  1. OK... so I saved and restarted MC and now it seems the problem is fixed. Much thanks and appreciation.
  2. I checked both these issues but still have the same problem. The code doesn't show any arc moves at all but only linear in three axis.
  3. Happy New Year everyone. Im trying to threadmill but the code spits out as small linear moves and the thread seems to be faceted and not smooth. Is there a way to smooth out the thead and perhaps shorten the code as well. Thanks
  4. Thanks Josh...Exactly what I was looking for..Much appreciated.
  5. you know when you're milling and you change to a different WCS and all the tools and everything switch relative to this new WCS...when I try to do the same on the lathe it seems I create a new WCS but the tools don't seem to change relative to the new WCS. Is there something I'm missing in order to achieve this? Thanks in advance
  6. How would you turn around my part in a lathe and still be able to use stock verify for both ends? Thanks in Advance
  7. When I create surfacing routines I cant find a way to keep the tool down instead of retracting to the clearance level. Thanks in advance
  8. Thats exactly whats happening. The window that pops open is the one for selecting geometry so Im at a stand still
  9. Still the same problem. Before I posted, I also did a clean reinstall and still the same problem. Maybe its a Windows issue?
  10. According to the system requirements I'm OK. Ive been running this software for abouta year with no problems
  11. Hi..Im running MasterCam 6 and when I open an operation the software flickers to windows desktop briefly and then the pop up window for selecting geometry appears just on the edge of the screen but is not accessible. Any thoughts?
  12. I'm trying to create this surface but with a tighter mesh. Also how do I get my screen to display surfaces in more detail.
  13. How do I create a curved surface in the xz or yz plane that is more smooth without facets.
  14. Is there a way to helical mill a tapered bore?
  15. I see the stock like that too but when I choose a roughing cycle to bore out the ID then inside the cycle the option for stock recognition is greyed out.
  16. I've created a piece of stock with the center hollowed out (like a tube). When I try to rough bore the inside Dia. the option box for stock recognition box is greyed out. Simulation shows a crash. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
  17. Encouraging words but I still feel somewhat moronic.
  18. No, I was working on a couple of different things and spent about 3 hours programming one of the parts. I left the computer to deal with something . In my haste I'm not sure what happened but my 3 hours of programming seems to be gone as it is saved as the other thing I was working on. Oh well live and learn.
  19. No both boxes are not checked. I take it this is bad.
  20. If you accidently save something over a file is there a way to retreive the file that was saved over.
  21. Much thanks guys (or gals if it fits).
  22. I have my part in isometric view, when I try to open an operation to adjust cutting depth or any other variable the view keeps going back to top view. I am working on a piece with a multitude of holes all at different depths and wanted to pick the drilling depths from my model and it is very confusing when the view keeps switching. Is there a way for this not to happen. Thanks
