    Stupid Question, Why not just import/open the inventor file with MC2017? you can drag and drop it into mastercam.

    Trying to get this to stay default check box on. (always was before 2018) i'm sure i'm just missing something here.

    in 3d mode the z level will snap to anything in your model (or your screen ) that lies in your "auto snap hitbox" 2d locks it to whatever Z value is in your preset. nothing new, this has been the same for a loong time.

    You can turn it off when printing as well. under "page setup"

    Would have made a mess and I don't think my insurance would cover it.

    Solid Loft blends weird in corners. How can I get it to not do this? could it be some sync setting I'm missing?

    If I remember right, One old fix/workaround for Cimco not running was to copy the Nethasp.ini into the Cimco operating folder.

    if its broke, under "options" set the keyboard shortcuts to F8 and Alt-F8 for the gnomons. Alt-F8 default is "Config" but you can get that thru the backstage menu.

    could set large r values in the "leads" ?

    use Contour, Depth cuts , and Taper make sure you set your depth of cut to overlap. HTH

    This made me chuckle. back in the early 80's a co-worker set up a cam type spring arm to hit cycle start from inside the machine. touching with the tool would spring load a lever to cam the mechanism outside to cycle start, if the tool wasn't there couldn't tap the arm to cycle the button. "broken tool detection" lol yeah if i had a pic it would have been a polaroid.

    The weld symbol is Plug weld, line is Flush, M is machined finish if it was a G it would be ground finish. nevermind,,,

    Just got around to installing 2018 side by side with 2017, copied , backed up and Updated all the posts to 2018. (keeping the 2017 untouched) When I open some 2017 files with 2018 it immediately wants to update the Control def. it asks this twice. It also locks up when you attempt to manually change to a 2018 post, (after the 2 prompts) No I do not want to update the 2017 because we are still using it atm, Not all the posts do this. And after opening we can change to a 2018 post with no problems. Anyone else get this?

    Raster to vector

    60 sfm is a good start. 450 rpm 7 ipm at a .004 cl.

    I use Cobalt end mills (razor sharp & ease of regrinding), slow speeds to keep the dust down. no coolant, although you could use distilled water but not if you want to hold any close tolerance (due to absorption). we use a light air blow into a vac. If possible try and keep the cut / chip direction always spinning into the part as it would chip if you pull a chip off the edges.

    could just rename it to a decimal point. " . "
  24. CEMENTHEAD
    cool thx, I cant help but wonder why it was left behind.

    Is there any other way to pull geometry from old nc code? RPOST fell off of mastercam many many moons ago. It was a great tool to view / claim geometry from old tested programs.
