Ive got these two lines in position and I dont know how give it the angle I want top left to bottom right of the box The distance between is .7 and I need a 15 deg angle and on older I would use create line polar but I dont know what to do in x6 Its not a 15 deg thats .7 in distance because my diameters dont match up when I do that I know its a bold call to say the prints not right but Ive got an id at 2.5 goes 3. Deep then goes to dia 2.88 ar 3.7 deep with 15 deg typ and im not getting it And when using the priny points the angle is 28.5

The fadals I ran used g84.1 But that may not be your issue

Ya ive never had mcam open up in 2 seconds and paired with my 24 in monitor ive got a nice work station set up at home

Got a nice deal on m4500 today

It was all there I was just freaking out before even getting to the end False alarm

Whops got it I do not see a plunge parameters

Man now when I open a saved lesson its empty!

Y is it missing the radius on the od Im following step by step intrictions and for the second strait lesson this happens Im lost even starting from scratch 2 times does not reveal my error Also I could not get the dynamic point to work either

From 9 to x outside looking in and once or twice playing with x ya I felt the same With just the smallest amount of guidance and a few training videos I found it to be not as bad as originally thought Many of my favorite hot keys still work even some that were not reviewed on videos Im all about the hot keys I wasent the best at 9 but I used it for a while never got past 4th axis or live tooling though So It still may be a leap in some areas

Im all about the books And when Ive completed enough to give me the confidence im taking mcam u for the cert

Glad I could help

The dorian gang tool did not work well with 316 tools wear and pull the whole thing out of alignment Dont know if it twer the tool or the dudes running it but didnt last too long

I forgot to ask earlier but I cant see the bottom of the dialog boxes where the check is Like stock set up Tool parameters Sometimes I have to move the windows bar from bottom to side and sometimes when that doesnt work I just have to hit tab and hope it lands on the check and hit enter What do I need to do to fix this

Open mcam Go to settings Config Click on screen Check the box that says. Disable hardware acceleration Jay helped me fix this exact issue earlier today Unless u have a different issue than I did

Ya the tl2 and 3 I rannare the same total pain

Ya the price was an immediate red flag

Sure 430 would be best for me if ur busy like any time after 6 will work central time Or if ur up early 8 am

Hmm well I just want the right one the first time And you get what you pay for

I just wouldnt think at around 170 it would do the job but ive seen several references recommending it so looks like thats where im headed and if im not happy with it its not much of a hit on the wallet

Okay ya its there ive been bombarded with information I overlooked it

Really? its such a cheap laptop

Looking at whats available im thinking its best to get dvd tutorials and books I can always refer to them whenever and if internet is out or I cant pay I wont have to worry about not being able to access an online subscription And with my hrs a classroom is next to impossible Gonna be hitting it hard this yr i have been denied jobs because everyone has the current version and all knew was v9 Again my fault for going with an obsolete version but I did learn alot that still applies

Hi there this is richard im finally getting up to speed with x and away from v9 I think it was a mistake to spend last yr buying v9 books and all the training when its been sunsetted But I did get alot of tool path and parameter experience I only did it because my job had v8 when I should have been getting in the new stuff Anyways im here when I get back to my skill level with the current system I want to take advanced lessons Currently at my best I can created parts with radial surfaces and do surfacing paths witch is about as far as the books go My first atempt at this was asking jay where do I start to get into drawing 5 axis stuff Bit heads impellers etc and it was above my level So to go next level above the 4th axis stuff am I going to need a class or wat?

Can anyone suggest a good laptop for running mcam x4 Im not a tech guy and cannot biuld computers just something that can be store bought and will have good processing and graphics

Haha ya I already.got my book on the way thats how I got so good with v9 bought all the books they had along with forums Tyanks for the tip
