I am suprised that I did not find that post I did a search for it regards Shawn

Worked like a champ Thank You very much for the help Shawn

My Mill guys are also using X5 but they do have solidworks installed so I can not compare to that

Yes I get the parasolid data not found in file

Can not open Solidworks 2011 files in Mastercam X5 I do not have Solidowrks installed on my lathe guys computer Is there a way to make it work so he can open Solidworks files and not have to purchase yet another seat of Solidworks? There would be no reason for him to have it. Thank You Shawn Pecore Prestige Mold Inc.

Thanks For all the reply's Lets see if we can get a straight answer from Mastercam. Shawn

Does anyone know if Mastercam X supports 64 bit?

Thank You IsKander and RobK I got it. Shawn

James Do you know where I can get this tutorial for WCS? [ 01-15-2004, 04:28 PM: Message edited by: Shawn Pecore ]

Hi Iskander I tried the Reset cplane/Tplane when changing WCS & Update graphics view when changin` WCS And that seems to do the trick after I resave the file and then pull it back up it has stopped rotating the file Thank You Very much for the help. I will try that on the next few files and see how she goes. Thanks Shawn

Yes James I save them in top or iso whatever and it does not matter it still comes in funky the next time I open it. It does not seem to matter what I save it in top side ect ect.

I think your right the WCS has something to do with it. I really don't use WCS as I think its a pain in xxxx but you probably have to get use to it. I will look at those other settings and give that a try. Thanks

Hello Iskander and Mayday I tried both of those settings and it is still turning Tplane to on and going to gview 174 and skewing the part to some wierd view. Actually all my settings were good except I had it on 3d instead of top so I changed that and that did not change the problem. Any Other Ideas? Shawn

Hello Ever Since I have installed service pack 2 when I pull up any file now it automatically turns TPLANE on and goes to some funky GVIEW and rotates the part to that view. Is there a way to stop that from happening it's really annoying. Thanks In Advance Shawn Pecore Prestige Mold Inc. [email protected]
