  1. Just finally looked up the specs for the space pilot pro on their website Im totally sold now the thing I love is the view buttons alot of times Ill be hating I have to go all the way up to the tool bars to change views thats fantastic
  2. Well this is for the sake of say not having a model So we had to draw it ourselves and we did not understand it would not work out We finally ended up sending it to the reseller and they did it So thats basically what this thread was for to be able to draw something like this when not supplied with a model from the customer
  3. I know the pain I dont think ill be help myself I have to check it out
  4. Thats awesome that you can program hotkeys into it
  5. wow ya theres no way im getting any of that without a teacher but it didnt seem that complicated when the programmer explained it the way i tried was drawing the detail as show on print then wrapping it to the dia but it never worked out and the formula wasnt all that crazy like those, or mayb its in there i wouldnt know if it was though
  6. Okay lets forget the small part The detail on the end of the long one is my question I had run something similar to this on a 4th axis and programming it was another story I saw how it was layed out in 2d along y in the software What I would like to know is the formula for calculating it
  7. Can you elaborate abit more Exactly what do you use it for in mastercam I use hot keys for speeding things up and often feel I could be doing things a bit faster
  8. The more you familiarize yourself with the program then your mind will not be like o man what do I do Youll be able to improvise and think of something or try something that you may have went over in a tutorial
  9. They sell books from this site Theres the design and solids book for whichever version your running
  10. Sounds like your trying to do way to much way to fast Trying surface milling when your having trouble building solids Books are an inexpensive great start There are books on design solids milling lathe and on and on I would suggest getting familiar with drawing before attempting tool paths
  11. And im greatful you guys are giving your opinions from your side because who knows better than the people that do this for a living
  12. And thats a great point all the small tricks but for that amount of money as u stated if u can swing it is worth it I believe Im just not sure if I want to pay that amount to show me different methods to do the things I already can do When I can make that same payment and learn something I cannot do at this time Its a can of worms for sure but thats why im getting opinions and advice before I commit because ive already had basic courses from other sources And ya that statement may be a bit misguided being that 90 percent of what I can do with mcam is self taught
  13. O ya im going with eapprentice I need to start getting more advanced training got plently of basic knowledge
  14. Ive done alot of training im looking at getting a.cert
  15. So other than price what are the differences advantages to the mcacm u industrial and educational certification course And how much would you need to know to complete one Do you need to already know multiaxis in and out to be able to complete the course Ill be contacting the local reseller as well just thought id ask here too
  16. I worked at a place like that till I knew my future there Learned all I could then hit the bricks places like that will just plop someone else right in your spot the next day And never miss a step its harsh but thats the way some spots are
  17. Ah ya it hadnt crossed my mind and ya ive spoken with brian a few times I think ill investigate the others you mentioned though
  18. Id like to know where those shops are Im one of those guys spending my own time and lots of money improving myself on my own time I lose sleep just to take advantage of the time the pros when their giving away info weekly so that I may observe and take in what I can Im dedicating lots of home time while raising and providing for my family so that ill have the skills to really take care of them while satisfying my own ambition
  19. I read ya jay What I found thats really cool is theres a helical gear drafting tutorial ive gotta get some solidworks exp. Also impeller blades that I can paly around with in mcam and see what I can learn the classes I took just scratched the surface on 5 axis stuff but nothing on drafting blade stuff which im just as eager to learn
  20. I remeber people asking about the kurt vice model on the last webinar So I looked for it found it and way more http://grabcad.com/home Dont know if you guys already know about this or not but I just stumbled on it
  21. U can get 25-30-range in houston tx just for operating If u look enough and have a set of skills Take my word for it There not the most efficent or competent companies in regards to turning profit hence the pay But thats not my part, they dont even listen when u make suggestions
  22. Woops again I know what I did hah False alarm
