  1. I recently got upgraded to a new laptop at work.... So I installed mastercamx9 and 2017 and I am running to this issue with the tool manager not displaying. Everything seems to work fine but when I go ahead and try to create or edit a tool the toolmanager window does not load. I have spent days on this with no solution. I know it must be graphics related. I have upgraded the drivers for the graphics card but no go. Has anyone come across this? Is so what was your fix... Thinpad p70 M3000M Thanks for the help
  2. I don't have a specific part that I am working on, and some of the models that I have are ITAR so I would not be able to share them. I just want to overlay different boss features on a cylindrical surface of titanium and find a common way to approach the feature no matter what shape it is. For example if we look at a rectangular boss with a throu-hole in the middle some would say that drilling that hole is no good because it is exerting too much force on the face of that material and if the inner portion of it has already been machined then we might some problems. A way to go about it may be to take a round insert cutter and helical ramp down the boss and open the hole that way and come back with a endmill and finish. I am basically looking for input on a way to tackle this feature from rough to finish on titanium. - to remove scale what cutter type etc has worked best for you? (tool path name, recommended feeds of the top of your head, anything to watch out for?) - to rough out majority of the material what have you done? (tun-mill?, multi-axis roughing?) - what have you done first, second... last -how do approach blend points.. I have tons of questions and every scenario could be different and yea we could theorize all day. Manufacturing is one complex equation with infinite variables If you had someone new with no experience and they were tackling a feature like this what advise would you give them? Thank you for all the help
  3. For this test it will be run a multi-task machine and It will be cylindrical stock preped on a lathe. Then I will try different types of techniques(feeds, speeds, tools, etc) by playing with different types of bosses. At the end I hope to have develop a good understanding on how to tackle this particular feature. Concepts learned from this could essentially be applied to a production environment where the component may be a forging with a rough boss already in place.
  4. Hello everyone, I rarely post on the forum but I have been an active member reading the posts on this forum ever since I began using mastercam. I am amazed by the knowledge and support that is provided through here and I was hoping I could get some feedback from people on the field. I recently got assigned to develop a solution for machining a boss on a cylindrical face. The material for the application will be titanium and I will be looking at bosses that are commonly found in landing gear components for the aerospace industry. I know that there are many factors involved in the successful machining of this feature on any given component (machine type, tool type, fixturing, etc...) but I was hoping people out in the field can give me some insight on what has worked for them when approaching/machining this feature on a cylindrical component. Type of techniques? tool paths used? and anything to watch out for when applying any of the methods. Any insight or comments on this topic are greatly appreciated! Once again thank you for taking the time to read this and for any comments provided.
  5. Just wished you could link it up to your mouse receiver so that it wont take up a usb port on the laptop.
  6. Dont have HLE but file worked fine in X6 mu3 with no settings modified.
  7. I had the same issue when i updated reader. What i did was open "3D Connexion Properties" and under tools there is a update wizard. clicked on that it did a quick update and now when i load up adobe reader it picks it up and i am able to spin models around and also if i go back to the properties now it automatically selects 3DxAdobe3d. You can always go the long way and uninstall it from your machine and then download the latest driver software from the website depending on your operating system and then go through an advanced setup and make sure the files that pertain to the different types of software on your machine are checked in order to be installed. Hope it helps, Johnny
