The machine or the boss ??

To be really sure that the tool stay inside the boundry: move/project the boundry above the part. create draft surfaces from that boundry. add those surfaces to the operation.

AND you have to be on maintenance.!! Our maintenace expired, and now that forum is blocked, exept the useless 'Non-maintenance Customer Forum'.

Hi Daniel, Maybe to late, but i found this: http://www.cnc-meister.de/hauptseite.htm

Stock Model is just an operation. So add that operation to your toolpaths, and fill the parameters. No Verify and save as.

3-ax toolpaths: Create an surface from that arc. Then project the lines and arcs on that surface. OR: Create an 2D toolpath Then an 'Surface Finish Project' toolpath

Or purchase the "MoldPlus Catia add-on" through your supplier http://www.moldplus.com/catia.htm

John, Nice video,but.................... I like the Holder CHook from Gunther thats enclosed in the X+ much more.

Hi Colin, Thanks That was step one, fixed the errors

I have changed an mill.set for my setup sheet, now it's nearly what i want. Need some hel with the finishing touch. I added an diameter output for an helixbore and an threading cycle.Line 973 - 990 The values come at the wrong places, see attached .jpg The header tells: # This post supports output for 3 and 4 axis milling.In my 5 axis pgm's the output is OK, but i get errors: 09 Jul 2015 02:33:55 PM - RUN TIME -OPID(51)- Only single-axis rotation is allowed! Angles may be incorrect. 09 Jul 2015 02:33:55 PM - RUN TIME -OPID(51)- Only single-axis rotation is allowed! Angles may be incorrect. How to avoid these errors? BTW the X-style coolant you see in not yet working, but that's an next step Setup.zip

You didn't make a copy before editing ?? :rolleyes:

I don't like the 'Lock Feedrates', to much times i forget to push the 'Re-initialise Speed&Feed' I would prefer to lock individual 'data entry boxes', requested here : http://forum.masterc.../Topic5593.aspx Right click in an yellow 'data entry box'. Have an Lock / Unlock option. Turn the locked entry boxes Red.

???

Not an Chook, but the "SnapShot" from X+ wil do

Hi Daniel, I saw you don't even have the time to update your exellent blog... http://camzone.org/

sholder_name : "" #Toolholder name if prmcode$ = 12727, sholder_name = ucase(sparameter$) #Toolholder name

Erni, THANKS!!!! I missed this in the (public)Beta's

Makino !! ??

The control: Siemens, i've never touched... Heidenhain iTNC 530, rock solid IMHO

Hi Ernie, I miss the X9 verisurf WCS-arrows..!! Günther beated you with the X+ ;-) I'm very happy with those free addon's

I don't use them, but you can look at Caimax http://www.camaix.com/chooks.html

In that LOCKED file is the link to you hasp. So that locked zone is self defence for the resellers. There is a lot of knowledge (and $$$) in the 5-axis posts. I can imagine they don't throw that out on the (digital) street.

You can also have a look at: http://www.cellro.com/English/Tooling/299/Default.aspx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl9ZSHc730E&feature=player_detailpage

Nope http://forum.mastercam.com/Topic3421.aspx?Keywords=level%20names

I use them sometimes. When a file comes back after a couple of months, i'm thinking why did i lock that operation??? I would prefer to lock individual 'data entry boxes', requested here : http://forum.mastercam.com/Topic5593.aspx They will go dirty..........., BUT the toolpath data is still there, and you can post them.
