  1. i must say a total tolerance of 0.015 mm,is not tigt enough,try 0.005,i am sure the facets will go away!
  2. if you put your maximum arc output to 100 in the filter settings,the machine should be able to accept it.
  3. you can try to change it in the default.op9 file
  4. when we are in doubt or trouble,who do we call?emastercam!i must say this forum is for Mastercam related topics,other topics wise,you can go to other sites,thanks
  5. Thnaks Robert I apperciate the sharing of that. foolsh
  6. could anybody enlighten me on the bias angle in the parameters page,i could't find anything in the help file!this bias angle is a mystery
  7. i worked in a small company where there are no females even the accounts is done by the boss!so there are no temptations
  8. yes i too find some streaking lines on my copper electrode after using filtering and sometimes the workpiece got damaged from gouging!
  9. it seems this toolpath takes a long time to calculate,and if you make a mistake in your parameter,it will take ages to regen.furthermore with the restriction of toolpath angle relative to the set angle and not to the geometry of workpiece,this toolpath is rather useless.any suggestions anybody?
  10. this toolpath editor is like a box of chocolates,you never know what you are gonna get out of it!i will try to post the file in the FTP site once i have my file ready
  11. why is it if i edit off some passes in 2d pocket milling,there is an error .
  12. actually it was none of those things!i know how to save or what has been answered.i think it could be something to do with the solids i have created,athough i had saved the file already before getting the next file,there was this error message about the solids created and then all of a sudden the file to be open got overwritten!
  13. thanks for all the replies,but the question is i didn't save it over the other file,i even save the file with the solid first before i open the other file!but it seems there is some connections when you have a file done with solids,and later on when want to open another file,it seems to overwrite that file!it has happened to me many times!
  14. i was doing some solids on a file,after saving,i tried to open another file,there was an error message warning,something liked solids need something,save yes or no,when i say no,my file that was opened became overwritten with that stupid file which i was doing solids on!and my that file i was opening became overwritten!i now have two similar files but different names,but both had that stupid file which i was doing solids on!now i have lost my other file!
  15. you could convert the curve use in tool boundary into a spline,and then regen the toolpaths ,it should solve the problem of tool gauge or you could open up the total tolerance setting wider.
  16. is it possible to do a nested tool center boundary for surface machining?can anybody give an example?
  17. i thought G08P1 is to turn on the buffer memory and G08P0 to turn it off?
  18. use retract values on absolute,feed plane with incremental with rapid retract checked,this way,you will be safe at the same time cut down on air time cutting!
  19. yes i agree with you millman crazy,i always use surface rough pocket,there is less rapid up and down on the parts which make me confident about the toolpath!
  20. but parallel rough cuts takes a lot of time to cut!sometimes when i backplot it ,it shows more than 12 hrs!
  21. to Roger Peters0n,are you sure tool containment boundaries can be nested in ver 9?
  22. but it seems that surface rough parallel toolpath takes quite a long machining time compared to surface rough pocket?i backplotted the times for surface rough parallel and it shows a ridiculously long machining time!therefore i dared not use this toolpath lest i would be scolded by the boss!
  23. what you can do is to convert the chains to splines,and it will be okay!the splines won,t gave you any problems when chained as tool containment boundary(outside)
