I feel ya vince ! Thats seems like to much work then a workaround. Should be interesting to hear the fix!

Glad i'm not the only one .

Hi all , I did a search and didn't find what i was looking for . I'm looking for my event log files. I checked the file location card in the Documention folder and it shows the Event log folder should be in mymcam folder but its not there. X6 mu2 windows 7 thanks in advance .

MMG and I will be there from Mon- Thrus ! We'll be at the Meet up too! Flying home Friday!

Your the man JP !!!

you've got mail

Ya i have a file but can't get to the ftp site right now . I'll try from home later.

Hi All , I 've done a search and didnt find what i was looking for . I've read about this in Mastercam xtras but cant get it to work . Even when chaining open solid edges and using avoidance area and entry chain . I get and error message saying (open pockets will be ignored because custom entry is not enabled), even though custom entry is enabled . thanks in advance Ryan Hacker

I had one general training class in 2002. Since then I've trained myself enough to get into some cool multiaxis (4 axis rotary) stuff . Now its time for some 4 and 5 axis training to answer some questions . I'll be at Prism Eng. in Horsham, PA for 3 days next week. Can't wait!!!

So after trouble shooting i found that if you modify a premade tool holder from the library (ct 40) you get this error . I went back and made a tool from the blank template with the same dims as the other holder and it regened fine. for now problem solved .

everything was set ran backplot and verify all good . went back and made a new holder named and saved it, changed length of tool regened op and got error "exception rasied in calculation routine could not connect passed contours" went back reset everything to the way it was before and still keep getting this error . shut down mastercam rebooted pc and got it running again . anyone else get this problem ? thanks in advance

Sweet ! just tried it ! thanks i'm sure i'll have more questions as soon as i dig into it. thanks again!!

thanks for the reply ! not really to familiar with the debugger . I realized that i will need 2 different posts for the machine specfic stuff.

hi all I did a search but couldn't find anything . First some background I just started programming a haas tl1 and a haas sl 10 lathe useing X5mu1 mplmaster .pst. the tl lathe cant use G28 cause of the if the tailstock in the way a crash could occur. So i'd like to know how to edit my post to get rid of the g28 u0. v0. w0. . so i'll just use the reference point tab on the tool parameters page. the code below shows some other changes i'd like to make. I'd like to add a g28 to the begining of the post for the sl 10. I've modified mill posts in the past but its been awhile thanks in advance !!! % o0000 G20 <----ADD G28 FOR SL (TOOL - 10 OFFSET - 10) (FACE/TURN-TOOL INSERT - CCGT-431HP) G54 <-- get rid of this T1010 G18 G99 <-- get rid of G18 & g99 M24 <---get rid of this G97 S200 M03 G0 X4.

thanks JP that did it ! I'm running MU3 w/maint. but we have 4 other seats w/ MU2 and no Maint. to upgrade . I added it to a toolbar !! Its all good !! thanks again

when i bring a file in with mill and select all enities it selects everything but the solids, in design it selects everything and works great. In mill with a machine group can't select solids!!! i did a search couldnt find anything !! Thanks in advance

i just got a intel core 2 duo cpu eb400 3. ghz 4 gb ram 64 bit os windoze 7 dual monitors nvidia quadro fx4600 what should the setting be for the graphics card. we also have a nvs 290 set up on a 32 bit cpu and it verifies faster then the 4600 i did a search and couldn't find what i was looking for . thanks in advance .

1 of the problems was that when i installed x4 i named my folder mcamx4 .then when i installed MU1 it made a folder mcamx and changed the target to mcamx .so i had a mcamx and mcamx4 folder i tried coping the files from the mcamx folder to the mcamx4 folder but i kept getting errors so i just uninstalled everything .

i did a total uninstall , installed everything and that fixed it! thanks me

I installed mu1 now when i go to settings- configuration- start/exit in the startup settings the configurations window is blank and the current window at the bottom is blank if i make a change to the config and try to save it, it says the parameter is incorrect . how do i get it show what config i'm using

So when do u guys think we will have feed and speed adjust on finish pass contour .

thanks for all the help guys !!!! This place is the greatest !!!

i tried rsbeadles way and the code looks right for what i want. curve 5 axis turned on 4 axis , used 3d curves and controlled axis with lines.

Thanks a bunch Crazy !! i need the example of the part not on center. rotating from the origin..

smit i looked at the file and the code looks the same as what i have the y stays the same for each slot and the angle indexes. this would be all good if i was rotating from the the center of the arc at 10.875 but i'm rotating from the origin. so i'm thinking that their should be a different y and angle for each slot .
