I would like to know this as well.  Screen size wouldn't bother me, since I would be docking it for most of the time.  I'm far from doing any intense surfacing, or multi-axis work.

then you should be fine but still don't expect the world 

if will work for basic needs but don't expect the world out of the thing

O great vault that program is horrible. You have install a client to get the native dwg file

Depends on tye area, in California you would need to double that to get a top notch guy IMHO.

Wonderful high cost of living of Califrornia.. I was speaking in terms of Ohio sense I'm familiar with wages.  

Cincy K- I say go for it, Looking for Shop Owner Material that doesn't own a shop basically. If I  may ask what is your role there? 

Anything that's reasonable. Likely some sort of base whether it be hourly or salary and then a quarterly bonus based on some sort of metric. Profit, on time delivery, machine up time, internal project completion, quality. All metrics to be considered. In the end it's les about the money and more about the right person. Looking for someone to be as close to a partner in the business without owning a percentage.

I get that but you only $23/hr then you probably won't get much in terms of a programmer/lead man/manger/engineer  that's what it sound like to me you want.  You're talking easily a 90K -100K salary unless you give that person a percentage.    

MSI GHOST PRO 4K that's I use but it was brand new left over paid 1K and then brought 500gb SSD so I have 256 GB SSD and 512gb SSD

How much are looking to pay?

It will work but how well depends on what you're doing 

I have the operation number automatically posted in a comment in the NC file and I also have it set to a macro variable (#750).  This way if something isn't right at the machine the operator can check what operation is currently running (via the macro variables on the machine) and write up a quick change request form with the exact operation number and the issue.

TEACH ME YOUR WAY I NEED THIS! 

that's what i hear so an so tool sucks.. which part Idk these holes I think..... We are using a .250 drill to drill about 30 different holes and holes!

I'm digging 2017, Mastercam finally doesn't like 1980 GUI. 

I can't wait for the improvements when the final version comes out. 

Sell your 4k monitor and you get 1440p monitor. 

Increase the icons even more.... 

Use the monitor as two with something else on the other side 

You can daisy- chain display port but I dont know if the KVM will  support it though work.

pm me I will help if you would like. 

send me the file. vtl is little confusing at first. 

Need more details. 

Are you using a VPN? Connected with a wire where at work or home?

Did you make this? Did you copy this from supplied one? 

I will have check some of these out 

Logitech- M500 nice weight just enough buttons and corded. I hate wireless using wireless mice

Keyboard- Logitech K800 (batteries last while awhile and it charges with micro usb cable)

Home- Same Mouse but Razer BlackWidow Ultimate

Surface Pro 3- M510 Wireless but I dont use it 8+ hours a day

MM Or inch? I know sometimes that causing issues and scaling isnt right 

I haven't used  a mastercam to program but i used mazatrol and nx to one. 

PLEASE TELL ME YOU GOT SMOOTH X! 

What are some useful C hooks I could add to my workflow?

Searched around didn't really see anything on this topic. 

Save all the current tools you're using into libary call  mag machine whatever date save the library then import all the tools. 

Fanuc has trochoidal machining.

Providing you load a mastercam file into it....lol

 

What's with all this on-machine programming?

Not very cost-effective.

 

/tin hat off

Because some stuff donesn't require mastercam.. the operator or foreman can quickly program a job.. fixtures.. quick easy job that comes though don't have to bother a programmer that is working on something else... endless things

Yeah, if you're looking for actual tuning/diagnostic info/whatever, there's other programs for that. 

 

This one is only for laptops that use the Intel/Nvidia combo video cards, that tech called "Optimus" uses the intel for light-weight work like web surfing, excel, word, etc and then will kick up the Nvidia when it's time to do 3d work.   In theory.  I've had my laptop for a few years now (dell precision M6700) and I had some trouble with the earlier drivers where it wasn't using the correct graphics card even when I specifically said to, and it drove me nuts trying to figure out what was using which card until I found out about that.

 

They do this for heat and battery life.  If I don't have any 3d program open, I can get almost 7 hours out of my laptop, but if I open any 3d program, it'll be maybe 2.5.  That's how much juice the Quadro uses.

Its not only the video card that kills the battery but processor too... you're using it more heavy.
