Intel core2 duo win7 pro.

graphic card ati radeon 3400 series

4 meg

not much of a pc,

getting a new one a lot more power by the 28th.

but I don't think the hardware is the problem thou,

everything is new, and still crash.

it is x6, and I did try to edit the tool, but that's also didn't work, but what I can do is make a new one in x7 quickly and I will let you know

it is called bugsward compatibility hahaha funny xxxx

that didn't work

every time and sometime it restart x7

they want people to pay for it. it is not bad enough they had the blades expert as a separate add and need to be purchased separately.

Hi Colin,

I know that. what I mean if anyone know how to add the procedure to the post. you will need that when the total programs become 130 mg for 33 blades turbine

x5mu1 ???? is it ready to download ?

You've had better luck with canned cycles than I have in mc lathe. I've never got any of them to work right in any version but maybe it's just me not setting something up for them. I always use longhand when using mastercam lathe.

didnt have much of problems before, most of the time if ur canned cycle dont run on the cnc machine, cause the parameter in there not set to take canned cycle type one or type 2 at the same time .

older machine for example. or haas lathes, but this can easily fix if u setup ur post to post n sequence number seperately, that will fix most of the problem. the second one is try to canned cycle from mastercam is the toolpath set to sqaure as it can be. but this x5 facing canned cycle is realy missed up. cause if i import a geo from x4 into x5 with toolpath for facing in it, work fine. but if u try to make a new facing canned cycle, that missed up. oh well. mastercam is almost like microsoft products now. release something and have the public test it.

misc/switch to advanced interface

Thanks gcode, i have founded on the left menu just click on the + sign and there it was actualy everything in there, just moved around or rearranged. misc/ no switch shown.but thanks anyway

still the lathe missed up just the facing canned cycle

The simple things in x5 wont work.

1- Lathe level 1

facing canned cycle wont work properly. the tool alawys want to move foward than retract back to the start point. cut and than move to the end point before it goes home.

2- Mill level 3 advance multi, morgh between two curves.i use that for to mill complicated fans, so if i switch to 4 axis. tool axis control, rotary axis is gone, seems to be omitted from that operation, now how the xxxx this suppose to work if u cant tell the tool where is the axis of rotation. This so far what i got from using this x5.

Now i use this advance multi axis to program 5 axis parts all the time. such as impellers, fans, compressors. i dont know why they omitted the rotary axis out of that operation.

i will refer back to x4 until they fix this, hopefully soon. Peace out.

Sure,

all you have to say is verify or you're fired

lol

in the control definition, simply it was making the path to the custmizable drill cycle

ok, these error that shown in the updated log is whatsoever not relating to the drilling, it was the machine definition.I just unchecked simple drill no and peck drill full retruct, and it worked fine

maybe im the only one who ecounter that problem

Hi

update the post from x3 to x4, everyting went ok except drilling,
