Tried saving new default settings but no luck. Values went back to 1 and 20. Where in the screen/config tabs can we find the value to change to make from tool active at all times?

thanks again

al

JctJct worked like a charm !!! Is there anyway to force mastercam to default to those numbers? Ours changes to 1 and 20 with each new job that we run?

Thanks again

Al

We are using Mill V9 level 3 and somehow or settings got messed up. How/what settings do we changed so that in the operations page the tool,dia offsset, length offset all default to the tool number? Thanks in advance for all the help

No problem, My best operators are Marines.. Thanks everyone for the help have a great day...

Thanks for the help!! I will try comparing to a STL. and see how that works out. I'm sure it has something to do with WCS I just haven't been able to put my finger on it yet. Thanks again and enjoy your day.

I have job setup selected in verify configuration? should I change it?

I am using wcs and software is mill v9.1

thanks

Good Afternoon

I'm sure this is an easy one but here goes after fine tuning tool pathes in the operations manager I go to verify and my stock has moved so I go into job set up and select the corners of my stock again and verify. But, if I go back into the operations manager and change anything my stock moves again. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing to cause this. Thanks in advance for your help. Have a great day

Thanks for the help. I don't know it rains a lot here we always have to keep the weather in mind when buying tools.

sorry the problem I'm having is when I select create, surface, fillet then select the two surfaces and assign the fillet size to .125 and select do it. I get a response of fillet not found.

so I tried a 2 surface blend but I don't get to assing a raduis size.

Now I'm out of ideas

thanks again for the help

AL

Ok here is another simple one. I have two simple rectangular surfaces at a 75 degree (acute angle) to each other. what I would like to do is create a .125 radius surface fillet between them. I look forward to you help

Thanks in advance for all your help

click cplane, alt-o then select the original origin. All the other construction origins should then disappear

Hope this helps

Have a great day

Thanks for all the help! It's the simple things that are killing me. All I needed to do is turn all the levels on then rotate my geometry and regen my tool paths just like you said

thanks for all the help you guys are the best

Have a great day

Al

Can anyone help me with this simple problem. I am trying to rotate my wire frame geometry 90 degrees and already have tool paths created. Is there a way to rotate them both at the same time? Every time I rotate my geometry 90 degrees about the origin my tool paths get left behind. Thank you all in advance for all the help.

Thanks to everyone!! Mark H solution was just what the Dr. ordered. I don't know what we would do without this forum.

Have a great day everyone

Thanks again

Al

I know this is an easy one but, what I would like to do is have mastercam force a tool change at the begining of each operation even if the next operation uses the same tool. The reason I would like to do this is so that I can start machining a part at almost any point as long it is at the begining of a tool change. We run a lot of very long parts and must secure our machines at night no matter where it is in the program.

thanks in advance for all the help

Al

As I said before we are not unhappy with Mastercam or the reseller! Steve Kidd is working with us and is doing a great job. A lot of the problem does lie with us because as you can see by the questions that we have been asking we have never been through this process before and have no idea what information they need. It has been very difficult because we are trying to get this post written while supporting our fleet. We do have a lot of hours in getting this post correct. Hence the question of how many hours this process usually takes.

Again not a complaint just a question.

Thanks again for all the help and your comments

Have a great day
