Wahoo... Thanks!

Hi All, Anyone know how to turn on the vector lines. They would show up in Mastercam when I created a 5x toolpath. Now I get the line displaying the lower tip control but nothing to indicate direction. Maybe I'm an idiot but I sure used them a lot. Also, please forgive me if this topic has already been covered: I'm not sure what the official name is.

I don't have time tonight but I'll give that a shot in the morning. Everything I do takes a lot of time because the stl is 27mb.

I'm trying to work with a mesh imported from our next engine scanner. I've cut from them before, however, I have never tried to split one: It's rather impressive. I've tried so many things my head is throbbing. Do you folks know how to split a mesh? Our CNC is not tall enough to cut this part in one piece. Thanks Todd

It is logical for the drive to operate in another port. The new port forces windows to run the plug and play. This reloads the drivers, mapping the device to a different port.

I had this same problem only it would do it every time i tried to open x4. I went to the device manager and deleted 3 safenet drivers. I then scanned for hardware changes and it came back with the aladdin hasp. Note: I just did it so I'm not sure how permanent this solution is.

Thanks for the help, however, I've tried that with no luck. Mastercam still ignores the commands.

I have a series of four toolpaths that need to run in sequence. However, I need every other toolpath to have the opposite bias c+b+ vs c-b-. I have changed the misc values to reflect what I need. Didn't work, It just outputs everything -. I can't force the 5th axis to stay + because I need it to fan to -. I'm really tired of manually changing hundreds of lines of code... Please help. Thanks Todd

Thanks for the advise. To me, building with solids is invaluable. These folks are going to ask me to make so many changes, I'll be working on it for a month. If I can get clean solids my changes take half as long. That was why I'm working in solids: one click changes.

Thanks a bunch! It did change some faces. We may look into a seat of Wildfire. Thanks for all your help!

Merlin, that would be great. I want to dissect it and find out what it did to the faces. This may give me some incite into what faces Mastercam didn't like and how I can adjust for that in my model. Thanks Todd

I was hoping someone may have a solution beyond that , but I appreciate your help. I'll go back to the drawing board. Thanks again Todd

Thanks John, you wouldn't believe how many times I've rebuilt this model. I tried it several different ways, just trying to get the fillet on. This is, however, the most stable form of it. If no one can get it I'll probably go back to the drawing board and start rebuilding it again.

Sorry folks, I was away all weekend. I need the other 2 edges filleted. Mastercam will do a variable fillet down the edges you did; without hesitation. I need a continuous variable fillet a around the other two edges. It is not that important where the fillet begins and ends it's transition. I was going to use the long edge just above the 1" radius. Thanks Todd

Tried it in Solidworks: no go. You can pick any point above the radius in the lower right to transition to .1875.
