  1. Break the entities at the end points and create branch lines connecting the geometry and then use sync by branch.
  2. Just curious. Does Mastercam not have the ability to recognize hole features by windowing part and setting all those holes to a group?
  3. "Maybe" people were just curious as to why you wanted this function because you never answered.
  4. Maybe he meant ARK dimensions.
  5. I thought he was measuring the depth of the grooves. He should be able to find some reasonable point micrometers in different ranges, preferably some deep throat ones.
  6. If it were me I would verify my OD and then use a micrometer with ball to measure and then do the math.
  7. I love that feature but you must be at the " Hold point return" to do so accurately.

    Holes must lie within .050 of the specified tolerance zone of the datums Hole to hole they must lie within .0035 tolerance zone to each other https://www.tec-ease.com/gdt-tips-view.php?q=119

    I believe it is True Position
  10. Thanks, I can't keep up with Agie/Charmilles and who is what and who owns who. I believe they bought out my supplier Global EDM.
  11. What little I know about Agie, is that they are not cam friendly, but I may be wrong. I'd invest my time in programming from the machine and generate program from that.
  12. On add skim cuts before tab, set it at 0 select Rough tab finish separately Skim cuts after tab set to number of skim passes you want. Ad a stop before and after tab cuts set lead out to .025 it will rough all the pockets leaving a tab and come to a stop before tab cuts then it will do all the skims OOPS Nevermind. This is for Dies.
  13. Brandon is correct. You can also rough all the punches and then cut them off and skim by setting rough tab finish separately and setting your lead out to like .025 and adding number of skim passes after ab cut.
  14. File was empty. is it a punch shape or die shape?
  15. Send me a file in another form, .dwg,step,parasolid.iges etc. I only have an older version of MC.
  16. Most important thing in 4 axis is to make sue your planes are correct. Machine need to know where bottom plane is in relation to table, and distance from table to top of part. Also like Dave said you need to sync it in Mastercam, or at least you used to. I dont use it anymore. If you sync by entity i means you have the same number in top as in bottom. If not you need to create branch lines connecting them and sync by branch.
  17. Will changing construction plane tell you?
