I cant say for certain but maybe the taper is too steep maybe?
-
I don't know if Mastercam wire has this or not. It saves time from creating wireframes if the solid is accurate.
-
-
Its hard for me to go back and use MCWire after using Esprit. Messes with my head. In Esprit all I do is select those faces and wire path it.

10-1245-134-ins WIRE 4 TH AXIS OLD VER.dxf This file should open

10-1245-134-ins WIRE 4 TH AXIS OLD VER.step I just split the solid at z.75 and z1.5 and extended the top to to clear the part. As long as you set your planes right on the wire the shape is the same. I created branch points and thats how you should sync it.
-
that will work
-
Can you save the file as something else. All I have is MCX7
-
Master80, you probably already done but since i was thinking of it I would do it this way. Cut the 4 axis taper first setting the bottom of your die land at Z1.300. It will cut the taper and the straight wall. I would then chain the top at Z1.500 to cut the .200 land and put a stop where the straight part is and dry run single block it to corner radius so you don't wire the straight side twice. taperlandcut.dxf
-
Of course I am not sure if taper is the same all the way around. In that case you would need to do 4 axis. Sorry if I'm not clear but I use Esprit now.
-
I would burn it straight first and then you see where I extended the corner arcs and offset geometry on straight section so that you could then burn the taper setting where you want die land to be without getting into straight section.

taper old.dxf
-
Ok, I am assuming this is a die and you want .2 die land straight all the way around and then tapering towards the bottom. It looks to me on the one end the entire section is straight but the rest has taper.
-
I'm not seeing something right then. It came in with all the entities on the same plane. Is that how it is on your end too?
-
Yes. Can you tell me how thick the part is?
-
What I would do is a 4 axis wirepath by translating what is the top geometry to the correct z level and then use sync by entity as it looks like the same number of entities in the top as the bottom. It should wire the taper and then go to vertical on the one end where it is straight. If they doesnt work then create branch lines to connect top and bottom and use sync by Branch. Hope I made this clear.
-
Can you save that as a .dwg or Iges or parisolid file so I can open it? My MC version is old.
-
As usual, I'm no help.
-
That should be an easy post fix your reseller could fix for you.

Switching from espree to mastercam

I don't have a newer version of MC but there was always the option to unselect tab cuts. I did just the opposite. Went from MC to Esprit for wire. -
Yeah I understand what you mean, but why cant the solid be modified?
-
I may just be confused but I know in Esprit I can create a copy of a solid and then split that solid anywhere I want and then delete the sections I dont want and create an edge on it.
-
You would think there would be an option to save it as a real edge as a new file.
-
Will Mastercam not allow you to split a sold anywhere you want to?
