Im getting another problem related to this. when i use a manual entry it tries to tie into the wcs and work offset numbers. i started to use 2 offsets before i found out the post does this for me. now ive had to delete the manual entrys and put them back in. but they keep linking to a work offset im not using anymore. they stopped linking to the wcs after deleting the first time.

If i use the normal top wcs then what do i do to pick t/c planes to get them to copme out right for the horizontal??? Do i need to draw the part as it would look to a horizontal spindle??? if i draw the part as normal as it sits on the table and i use the front view the the B axis comands are backwards. if i use the back for the wcs then the B axis comes out right. still need help please.

well things still are not coming out right. i did find out the post (Icam) automatically outputs the g54 hori / g55 vert from a macro when posting. tried the 2 wcs settings but things didnt come out right. depending on which wcs i use do i have to change the way i select the t/c planes according to weather im doing vert/horiz machining.
-
looking at what the other mastercam programmer thats not here is doing, he uses 2 work offsets. G54 for verticle / G55 for horizontal machining. so when doing the horizontal programming i use the front wcs and t/c planes from there. is that right or not.

Im needing to redo a prog from a DMU50 to a MAHO700. the dmu is a 45deg nutating and the maho is a horizontal table/table. can i just use the wcs to change from the verticle to horizontal or should i change the drawing ie the model/fixturing. this is kinda new area for me. im used to drawing everything where it needs to go in space from running a mazak variaxis. im trying to learn new ways to do things as we have a mix of different machines. help please.

Who is tired of "work offset used in more than one view"

you can add me to the list for this. -
when in the tool path page if you click on different tools in the list the speeds and feeds are not changing. i have the box checked for tool step peck and coolant. even if you look in the quick view settings the speed and feed its not changing in there. am i missing something. ive even had some of the feed rates come out 0.0 when posted. mcamx6 mu2 mill lvl3 solids 5axis win7 64 Mike

I use G05 P2/G05 P0 im running surfacing/multiaxis with or without inverse. helps with the stuttering. on this it has to be brought in after the G01 and Canceled before a G00. you cant have more then 3 lines of rapid command. only thing with this is you cant use G54.2.

might try using 3d if your using 2d.

go to the wsc button on your bottom tool bar. then go to view manager and then select geometry. select the feature to set the view. then click through the picks to get the orientation right. then enter or the green check and you get another box. uncheck the make new origin and hit enter or the green check. do a tool path then and go to planes and pick the new view you made usually #8. when you go to planes click the left arrow 2 times and set both t & c plane. hth

yes you need to seperate the surfaces from the wire path on different levels. then just pick the arc from the wirepath.

use diamond coated stuff or grind it.
-
you can if you use min & max depth.

first off what version.

you can open a 2009 file in x3 mu1 but not a 2010. for 2010 you need x4 mu2. if you can output the solidworks 2010 files as x_t or x_b for parasolids it will work for x3

+1 for what Randle said, there is a lot of stress from the forging process.
