  1. xform works. I thought there might be an easier way though.
  2. not when in creation mode .....but how about after its been placed and you need to move it. I see that you can use the +/- in creation.I didn't know that THX
  3. Can this be done in X4 Mu3? Can you move the arrow on a leader to a different point?
  4. Brian, I took the file off the FTP and machined the part but I cant figure out how to get it back on the FTP. I'll send it to you if you want. [email protected]
  5. Brian, You can cut that all day long with level 1 except for the transition in the center where the features are sharp. You'll have the radii from the ball EM there. You need to choose the wireframe toolpaths ..use the ruled or swept toolpath. For that feature I would use the ruled. You just need to chain the profile beginning and end profile. The swept toolpath is a good toolpath too but ruled is a better fit for now. Let me know if you need more help. Stan
  6. HEY milltime LMAO...."vachina"
  7. no big deal....I'll get even with you someday....
  8. good point...on the contour...Is this the part where I go .....DUH!!!
  9. thanks Keith but I figured it out. There was a .0005 gap when I zoomed real close. funny thing though I analyzed them both and the z value was correct and the endpoints were the same...IDK, I just understand why the contour worked and not the pocket . THX for the comments Stan
  10. 1 green arrow. This is just a basic pocket routine,no island etc
  11. I am expecting the chain to be closed. Whats the difference in the chain if its a contour or pocket? I want to pocket the chain not contour it. I tried zooming in but didn't see anything
  12. I chain geometry for a contour and it works OK. I chain the same geometry for a pocket and it alarms "boundry not closed"???? HOW can that be?
  13. NC PLOT for $300 bucks..Its helped me many time.Good nc dode verification!
  14. try using the home REF points in your parameter page
  15. WOW...PITA FOR SURE. I'll give it a shot thanks
  16. I forgot X4 MU3...Also I am speaking of tool tool comments
  17. when I make changes to the current tool manager in my group/operations the changes are not output to the code correctly. What gives with that? I tried editing the tool library too(separate from the file)and it still doesn't output the changes. Tried a reboot...nuttin any help will be appreciated
  18. let me know...I'm in the same boat...PITA.
  19. thanks ..I'll load em up and see how it goes. thanks
  20. anyone know a way to quickly change/modify miltiple arcs. I can select all the arcs but cant change them all at once. I know I can edit the entity by selecting analyze and changing the diameter but that only works for the single arc. I thought the "propagate Icon" should work but it didn't.
  21. I'm having trouble exporting operations. I select a single tool path group of operations and M-cam locks up. Any one else having this problem? It is random cause sometimes it works fine.
  22. thanks fellas. I already do that but, I went to drill some holes and WINDOW points but they really aren't there to pick. So, I had to use mask on arc which was more clicks. Not a biggy just a thought
  23. Anyone know if this can be done or perhaps be put on the wish list???
  24. I thought it was me....same thing here..freakin red X, just from going in and out of parameters tab PITA. You would think that would be an easy fix
