The machines both have the Fanuc 18i-ms series controllers

The company I now work for has a hardinge xr 760 and a xr 1500, I have been programming for years at another place that had all Haas machines. all the Haas machines used to run my G code in graphics to catch certain mistakes that I could of made. The machinist at this new place say that there machines have no such feature, I don't beleive it, does anyone know if this is possible? and if it is possible, what are the step by step procedures?......TY J.

Hey guys, haven't been on in a while, because I didn't have any questions, but they where going to boot me, so here I am, still running X4, company is getting smaller, outsourceing most detail parts...but keep me on, lord knows I need help now and then.

my circles look like ovals, is there a way to adjust the size?

we used to have this option (i think), can't seem to find, my dxf files to sent to millpowers can not contain splines (for some reason) tring to break my slines into lines and arcs if possible. please help......thanks

Thank You Sir, worked great........J.

is there a way to set all the icons back to the way that it came out of the box?

How an I tell what version i'm using? Up at the top it says Mastercam Design x4, but when it is coming up it still says x3, and there doesn't seem to be any difference (that i can see)between them, if it is x4, how can i change my icon to x4. it is on a network hasp....tks..J

thanks, It just seemed to be that file.ok now

just moved to x4 today (from x3), but I don't know if that, has anything to do with this problem.

Tried to print on 11 x 17 landscape. got this alarm

"Unable to generate shaded print, try a smaller print region and/or a lower dpi or change display mode to wireframe"

my print is not shaded, any help would be appreciated.....ty

Rob, that worked GREAT, Thank You Sir

thank you sir, I tried that, but it only gave me dia's and count, not the x and y diminsions, but that might come in helpful, any body else?

I have a 1/2" alum plate that has 85, 1 1/4" holes in it (not lined up with each other). i have to make a print for this part and wanted to make a chart of x & y coordinates for the holes. no lines, just a chart, is there a way to get the dim in the chart?

did you miss something? I was only joking

Thanks Rickster, that worked perfectly. and ron, the way you holler and lecture people, i can understand why you've had 5 jobs in 6 years.. No seriously, thanks for the help.

I just made a note in X3 at z10. and tried to project it, but it would not pick the note, but in translate it would, maybe it's fixed in x4

I did try, But in project, it does not reconize them, but in move it does... Funny

that did work Lasz, But i was tring to project them to z zero, because they are all at different z values, but that was helpful... TY

I'm not sure what your first comments were about Ron, But I didn't make the drawing, it was sent to me from Auto-Cad., Thank you Lasz, I will try that.......J.

no way hey....well thanks for looking...

is there a way to move all notes to another z level, everything else moved, but the notes.

using mcx3, I want to take what i'm looking at on the screen and make that the top view, 3d xform is where i should be but i can't figure out how to move all enities to the top view

not exactly what I want, I just want to know how to change any view that i'm looking at into the top view forever.

I'm making a 2-d drawing to be saved as a DWG,I am looking to change a isometric view to a top view, so it puts a 3-d model onto a 2-d drawing.

I've been rotating it, but there probably is an easier way.....thanks

I have tried, but nothing seems to change
