Yes that was wat I tried first

I got cha thanks again

O ya that worked great thanks Now another thing ive been told you can turn and then mill Program in one file. So if 8 were to turn a part, how would I go about milling, , wouldnt I need to oriente my model for milling, , wouldnt the lathe construction lines be in the way? Or should I give them all different levels so o can hide them, Im jist trying to understand this bettwr Mind my spelling, I usually post from my phone and dont think ill ever get used to the touch screen phones, this is my first "SMART PHONE" the note 2

Do I have to create a 2d cross section to be able to turn the profile, id groove etc, if a model imported does not have the wireframe?

I once pondered y would a company have more than 1 cam I came to conclude its if the time came for a new programmer it increases your shot of finding a programmer as apposed to limiting your options and time spent finding someone thats good and thats good with that 1 software. Or is that not correct?

Im gonna try and be there all 3 days and try to make some contacts

can anyone help me im trying to add views in the custom functions area and i need to add a + for alt+3 but it also enters shift when i do it ideas?and i couldnt ask on their forum my registration got fizzed for the moment i got it /supposed to hit alt+3 at the same time

Alright thanks Can you also give me some advice on how to create impeller or prop blades im totally in the dark with that stuff

I dont know if you can do that I never heard of different depths in a canned cycle

stumbled on this by accident but is there a way to put threads on the solids created in mastercam?

ya that worked out really nicely cuz i didnt like how it originally was set now i really like the way it zooms pans and rotates

its got a web browser launch button but does anyone know if i can set it to open a program? like if i can set it so that i push a button and mastercam opens

uncle sam a claus has never been better to me than this yr got my spacepilot pro in this morning and love the programmable keys no more alt edit delete delete entites, just button 1! the views are at my fingertip instead of hauling the mouse up to the toolbars, the level manager is a button, operations manager is another its got a screen fit button esc,ctrl,alt,shift, you can set the buttons for keyboard functions like spacebar and on and on and on its functions switch to the mastercam ones once mcam opens, its got separate functions on its own just in windows so frikn sweet i cant stand it

A simple solution the way i always did it cuz i did alot of 4th axis engraving draw the letters in the position how you want toolpath, contour then just axis substitution on y enter your part dia and boom ya the backplot and toolpaths look like that but thats the way i always did it and it always worked for me atleast. prety much like aimer said dont worry about wrapping keep it simple cuz its just that

Ya looks wild when I get off in the am if no ones helped you correct this by then ill do one and be able to give you more accurate instructions of what im trying to explain

I havent done it in a while bur there are several ways Easy enough that I figired it out once just by playong around with it for a but You can create the letters on an arc Like when you go to make the letters it will ask if you want it to be on an arc so you just tell it the size you want You can get it I mean If I figured it out on my own with no book or anyone to help me then its not that complicated

John thanks again for helping me understand this It was indeed the rolldie

Looks like im missin this one Too bad to really enjoyed what I learned from the last one Solid hole for drill sizes the dynamic xform etc The dynamic xform was a great function to learn about Hope I can catch the video off utoob

this is more helpful to show what i want to model

Tell you the truth I dont even know which is needed for what im trying to learn Wish I had a print to upload and show

Have u tried the analyze entity properties If their is a constrction line say a circle you can change its diameter and the solid and even a fillet or chamfer will change with it Very nifty feature

woops looks like i got it, again but y can i not upload the x6 hle file

ok this is my first time trying to machine with solids and not wireframe where am i going wrong been tryin lots of things but dont really have a clue how to make it work with a solid also its saying error i am not permitted to upload this kind of file when i try to upload the x6hle file of this part

Easiest way I can think is to buy a book from this site Will get you up to speed quickly and real cheap I recently went straight from v9 to x6 and it really wasn't a big deal at all with that book

Haha Good stuff never heard that one
